In 1990, I produced a local tv show, "It's My Life" and I am trying to locate 29 actors who were involved in the production. So far I have located 8 of them, as far away as Florida and Montana. I am planning a 20 year reunion and would like to release the "It's My Life" series on You Tube..If you happen to know anyone who was involved, let me know at sandyrusk@netscape.net.
I am still looking for:
Katina Colwell (Brook), Bill Greenlee (Robin), Lainie Thomas (Melanie), Mark Ray (Brad), Kelly Myers (Jenni), Charles Guin (Brody), Dallas Radford (Johnny), Amy Bentley (Grace), Eric Castor (Kevin) Amy Wainscott (Dagny), Danielle Mays (Corrine), Kristi Wilkerson (Leslie), Carmen Zambrano (Joanne), Kristine Crabtree (Jackie), Chris Pictor (Josh), April Griffith (Rozy), Derrick Price (Joe), Ann Monahan (Angela), Chris Monahan (Madelyn), Mary Rife (Shelly), Stephen Gibson (Micheal)

...since this was 20 years ago, most of the actors would be in their mid 30's to early 40's.

I've created a TV channel about Indianapolis directed at hotel guests staying in the area. It encourgaes them to get out of the hotel and explore our great city. I'm looking for content and advertisers. Check out a portion of the show at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7sC8zATGrg. If you have content or want to attract hotel guests let me know.

"To convert (**) or not to convert, that is the question..."

(** Your IRA or 401k to a ROTH IRA)

2010 marks a monumental year for potential tax savings or potential tax catastrophe's with regards to your personal and business retirement plans. Here is a great article featuring answers to 12 frequently asked questions about converting to a Roth IRA:

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/story/print?guid=C5F51A75-2036-45F6-9E23-6AF61DF6768E

Questions like:

When do you pay the taxes?

Can I convert my 401(k) to a Roth IRA?

Can I do a partial conversion?

Can you convert to multiple new Roth IRAs rather than just one?

[Should I] Convert some in 2009?

--- Seriously, this is about to become A BIG DEAL! ---
From the article:
"Roth IRA conversions are about to become a big deal for people saving and investing for retirement. Under the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005, or what some lovingly refer to as TIPRA, all taxpayers will be able to convert all or some of their traditional IRAs into a Roth IRA, regardless of income....

... This is a game-changer, some are saying ...and [potentially] the opportunity of a lifetime -- the chance to pay taxes now as a way to avoid paying more taxes later. "


Please feel free to call or email me if I can help you or someone you care about sort out their situation and take advantage of this limited time opportunity.

Make it a GREAT DAY!
