She's a remarkable Antarctic adventurer and her story will leave you breathless! Read her fantastic (true) account of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1946-48, in which she became the first American woman to set foot on Antarctica at http://205.174.118.254 /nspt/explore/heels01.htm Eddie "Chank" Willis and Allan Slutsky. Allan is the Producer of the most awesome new film, "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown", in which he tells the story of the session musicians, now known as The Funk Brothers, who played all the music on the Motown recordings through the early 70s. You know the names of the stars who had the hits, now see the story of the session musicians who cranked out all the tracks! We hung out with Allan and original Funk Brother guitarist Eddie "Chank" Willis a day before they won two Grammys. Very cool stories from the source! The DVD comes out in April, and the Funk Brothers will be touring then too! They're in their 70s now, and they play better than ever. Check them out, and catch the movie in theaters while you still can. visit www.standingintheshadowso fmotown.com 2) KENNEDYS MARCH TOURING SCHEDULE At long last, we return to Texas!

We certainly don't endorse human rights violations or autocratic regimes, but a quick study of the biographies of Bush, Cheney, Rice and company will reveal that they are top level oil executives who have improperly seized control of the US treasury and military, and are using these precious resources to rob our great country of not only its treasure, but more tragically of its integrity as a true haven of freedom, justice and individual rights. Our travels outside of America have intensified our patriotism for our own country, and we feel strongly that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson would be rolling in their graves if they could witness the dismantling of everything that they and so many generations of Americans sacrificed to preserve. Don't be intimidated by those who will tell you that it's unpatriotic to study these issues and form your own opinions. To stay well informed, avoid TV newscasts and surf the web for a variety of opinions and information sources from around the world. Of course, you can disagree with our stance. Diversity of opinions is essential to the democracy that we celebrate. We only urge you to form your own opinions based on a wide-ranging study of the issues, people, and global corporations involved in this complex web of events. Peace & Love, Pete & Maura...
