- If you were an iron commentor for IComLeavWe this month let me know so I can add you to the wall of honour.
- Request for an Interview: If you fit the bill, email the reporter directly... "I am a correspondent/producer for AARP Broadcast and am working on a similar story for television. The story is about couples who tried unsuccessfully to have children then decided to stop trying and live life without them. I am looking to interview a couple who fits that criteria on camera in the next two weeks. We are based in Washington DC and are looking for someone in this region which includes southern Maryland and northern Virginia. The interview will air in a story that also profiles a couple who decided to never have children. It will air on a program called My Generation which broadcasts nationwide on the RLTV network with a viewership geared towards people 50 years old and above. While it is not a deal breaker, it would be nice if our couple is in this age demographic." Email Diane.
