Sounds like a job for our super CindyB if she would find the address maybe we could so it so Cindy didn't have to take on another project.

haven't heard of Berry College. My daughter choose a Lutheran University because she wanted a mid-sized Christian school

We could do the autograph block and tell her we think she's swell.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Jane Hambleton has dubbed herself the "meanest mom on the planet."

Wow...amazing what google can do.

here is where she is

"OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don't love teenage son, selling his car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet."

Sold! Hambleton, a radio DJ in Fort Dodge, Iowa, received some 70 calls from buyers. And other parents. And emergency room workers. And school counselors. And scores of others wanting to congratulate her for being so Dirty Harry awesome.

so she works for a radio station bet that could be the address to send a quilt to

Carolyn...It was founded by a female back when females were not allowed to do such. She was a wonderful example for what women could do. She started the school to teach the poor mountain kids and it has grown from there. There is a book about her call Miracle in the Mountains. The Martha Berry Story. I just love that school and so did my daughters.

I don't usually have time to do the blocks but if you girls get it going...I would "probably" stay up and make time to do an autograph block if it is a simple one. There are a lot of moms on this forum that I am sure would support it.
