Hi Folks:
Now that I've "released" this, I have to share. I'd passed it on to Marilyn when it happened & she encouraged me to follow thru. I've since done so & she was right . . . it feels so good, even if it's just the release that's right!
On February 22 I had a voicemail on my cell phone from a man who said he was Bobby Shriver. Sure, there are more than 1 but I was somehow certain it was THE Bobby Shriver.
It was a wrong number. Imagine. He was calling someone in Los Angeles, & dialed a Washington, DC area code. He left a message & though not embarrassing, it was detailed & personal. He included his number & asked for a call back.
While that's weird enough, same day I got another message on my cell. It was from the ofc of a NYC movie star agent (Katie Holmes' agent, though the call didn't mention her), callng about "the event," (same term Bobby used), & said she needed information. She left her e-mail address.
What ARE the odds?! I can't resist a chance to do research so I found that Bobby was calling about his "Project Red" effort. Seems the agent--from Creative Artists Agency--was probably calling about the same "event."
Somehow, my cell number w/a Washington area code was given to 2 different people, one in Los Angeles & 1 in NYC, for the same event.
I found this delightfully engaging. As an author who just sold a book on Robert Taylor, movie star, & his involvement in the HUAC hearings-—I couldn’t let this go. It’s intriguing enough to use as the premise for another book!
I e-mailed the agent, & called Bobby. I didn't speak w/him but chatted w/his assistant, who thought it hysterically funny. Maybe he’ll pass my message to Bobby over dinner & they’ll both get a good laugh. I told him if Bobby ever just wants to talk, he has my number!
I'm gonna store his # in my speed dial!
Blessings -- Linda
