Good morning Sugahs.  First of all, a huge thank you to Acadiana Hope For A Cure Society for an amazing evening in New Iberia last night.  The folks in New Iberia have always been so very kind to my family and me.  Thank you to everyone involved in the Night Out With Survivors.  My daughter Brittni and an amazing young man named Jordan Beuhlar received college grants last night.  My heart was full.

Today the Polyester Power Hour is an Anything Goes Poly Po Ho.  Jenn and I had a new KTDY/Aire Serv of Lafayette Secret Sound at 7:20 AM.  No winner so Steve Wiley will play again at 12:20 PM.  And today is the day Jenn picks two mammogram winners to ride in the mammozine with her and Bernadette Lee.
