Got Lucky Or...
It was a Miracle. I found a needle in a haystack. It was the 30th cd out of the thousands of cds I knew I'd have to trudge through. To make a long story short, someone had sent in their only pictures of their wedding photos and they were now with the "to be disposed of" media. That's what not following instructions will get you...
I knew that I could probably find this guy's photos, it's just that I'd have to go through thousands of cds to get them back (and that's IF he labeled his). Well, apparently we label them, and it was in the first quarter of the first box that I went to. Are family photos important? How about wedding photos? I've got to believe that not only were they important for Roy (the groom) and his wife but that they were important enough for me to get a little help from on high.
Today I spoke with the Governors' offices in Florida, Michigan, and Nevada. It looks like Michigan and Kentucky are a go and should have me signed proclamations within the week. I'm requesting dates so that when the days begin we hit 2-3 states per week, between the first of October and the third week of November. Over the next 2-3 weeks I should be finished with my requests and can focus on preparing photo restorers to make the most out of the days, and focus on quality and quantity media coverage.
The press release for Utah Photo Restoration Day has had 2500 readers so far, including 50 media outlets. I don't expect any articles until the day approaches, because, after all, it's two months out. If press release readership averages 5k each with at least one release per state, 30 states would give me 150,000 readers. If we average 100 media outlets per release(not counting when I contact the media directly as the day approaches), that'd be 3,000 media outlets which can, by providing their own coverage turn the 150,000 into ??????.
