The Early Show in Greensburg
Starting Monday, April 28, CBS' The Early Show will be in Greensburg through Friday to help with the reconstruction and to document the action via their series, "Tragedy to Triumph: Greensburg Rising."
The show will tell stories of the Greensburg people and chronicle the town's decision to turn green and its rebuilding efforts. Co-anchors Julie Chen, Harry Smith, Maggie Rodriguez, news anchor Russ Mitchell and weather anchor Dave Price will work alongside show staffers and volunteers to help build an eco-friendly playground for the community.

I really like the Early Show, and all the people there, but I hope to be able to meet Julie Chen and Harry Smith... I LOVE them!

Wow...looks like you are going to be busy. Good things come to those who wait.
God Bless Anita.
Well, the town is going to be busy. I'm not.
I will work a little in the GreenTown office, and go to the GreenTown dinner on Saturday night, but I'll probably stay home other than that... I go to things like this and it just makes me feel that much more alone, like an outsider... so I avoid crowds, especially crowds of people I know...
