Item Special Note
We got this note from Cheryl Spradling who won this item on our last on-line auction:
- Even though my "2 Minutes of Fame" is over the excitement remains. Again I want to tell the DSO what an Honor it was to Conduct. I also want to let you know that during the intermission I was approached by many, many patrons wondering how I was able to have this opportunity. How excited they were for me, and how Great it was. People were offering me to sit beside them during the second half, asking if I trained, what did it feel like.....etc. I promise I had at least 30 people talk to me. That might not seem like a lot compared to the crowd, but what if they had all bid for the opportunity? I would of lost I know, but the DSO would of benefited. Even the Singer Mike Ferguson spent time talking with me and my Husband. I only hate that I didn't get to have Rai Hatoda and Jim Brickman sign my program.
