130. Thanks for sharing that with us!
I love Helen Thomas! Her niece, Suzanne Geha, is an anchor on the news at WOOD-TV8 out of Grand Rapids, MI, which I watch regularly. Suzanne has been with them since the 70s.

Helen must read all her e-mails and reply to them. Twice I sent her Happy Birthday wishes, and she sent me a nice reply both times.


Thanks again for the delightful information.


This is Suzanne Geha:
