I Need Your Help!
I am writing a book of mini biographies. Stories about
you and your classmates. People that have achieved, many times overcoming
great difficulties.
Did You Know?

She is known worldwide.

several locations and with a big time reputation for quality and value.
A Scrapper worked himself up through the ranks until he
became Owner of the most prestigious kitchen equipment store in Memphis.

These are a hint of the subjects for the mini
biographies. Some of these you already recognize, but, you will like “the rest
of the story”.
I need information on others. This is where I need your help.
I will not list all the achievers here, but, you can
see that we have a rich history of which we all are proud. I need your help in
collecting information on our classmates for inclusion in the book. It is not
practical to include all of us in the book, so, we will limit the number of
mini biographies.
Please submit to me any and all information for those
you feel have achieved. I need their name, phone number, address, email
address if you can get it. I will interview all names submitted and write the
biographies of the chosen.
You will enjoy these stories. The success of this
undertaking is dependant upon your help in the collection of data.
Cost for this book will only be to cover expenses. All
profit (if there is any) will go 100% to St. Jude.
I am now waiting on you. LET’S GET BUSY!!
