Well I did call the Post because I was trying to find something on it and NOTHING.  They said there was no article written.  The Connection has some nice pictures they posted in their photo gallery but again no article.  I can't find a single article about anything other than the suffergette memorial dedication.  That is it.  Don't know why they asked for all the information and took all those pics to do no article on it at all.   ???

Yeah i agree with you Master James..........I don't know why they would ask for all that information and not write an article on it,It kind of sounds like they wasted their time to me.

In answer to your question about what happened to the interview & pics:

We've had pics taken and given interviews and names several times over the last 10-15 years.  Then I'd scour the news medias the internet, etc. for days only to find they didn't publish the article or the pics.  Often, what happens is reporter will be assigned to a festival and see/hear something they think would make a nice "community interest" story or a picture "worth 1,000 words", but when it comes time to put the paper or the news broadcast together, the person(s) in charge consider the article not worthy of bumping what they consider a bigger story. 

It can be really frustrating when you're trying to build a following or justify someone hiring you back the following year.
