We are looking for HAPPY RETIREMENT STORIES involving people who have
relocated for retirement. We need to know what their occupation and
community involvement was in their old home and same for the new. We also
need to know why they relocated and whether they made money on the
relocation. In other words, did they sell their house and buy a new home
for less money. Finally, what made them choose the new location?
Contributors will receive full credit and a copy of the finished book.

Looking for a book that deals with OLD HOLLYWOOD, OLD FILM STUDIOS, OLD
PRODUCTION COMPANIES. I don't mean MGM, Universal, Paramount. I mean
REALLY old. All these old film companies are gone, and I'd like to know

Internet for a book like this--but can't seem to locate just what I'm
looking for.

WANTED HUMOROUS ANECDOTES-- Do you have a funny story that somehow

else be the topic of discussion at the next gathering. If this is you, I
want to buy your story. I am collecting submissions for my 5 book Ghetto

in any way related to a particular group of people based on their social,
legal or economic background. For details on each book in the series,
story samples and submission guidelines go to website: www.ghettodrama.com
