I'd like to say hello

Hello All,
First let me say "Thank You" for allowing me to join this forum! It makes one feel so connected to Doris. I feel that everyone on the forum truly loves and adores Doris.

I've been reading the posts for about a month now and I'm thrilled to see that her fans are from all parts of the world.

A bit about me: My name is Diane and I'm living in Eldersburg, Maryland...about 45 minutes outside of Baltimore. I'm 51 years old, soon to be 52...but age is just a number, right? I've adored Doris since I was 10 and wrote my first fan letter to her when I was twelve. I've seen all of her films, read "Her Own Story" back in 1976, just recently ordered her two specials from Amazon and loved them both...but perhaps I enjoyed the Doris Day Today special a bit more than the first one. I plan to buy the sit-com series and start watching them instead of all of the garbage that is on cable these days. TV today is so intense! Nothing but American Idol and reality shows. There are no role models for our young people today.

However, it is a breath of fresh air to see the young people in this forum that have discovered Doris Day. Just the fact that you have recognized her as a woman of talent and integrity tells me you all are very special people. Thank you for not idolizing Britney or Paris Hilton.

Thank you again!

Welcome to the forum Diane!!

My name is Megan, I'm 15, and I'm from Kansas... I got to call into the radio yesterday!!!

And not idolizing Britney Spears is no big... She's too trashy... I'd much rather be a Doris fan then anything else

*waves from Baltimore* Hi Diane! (actually from Frederick area, but going to school in Baltimore) I hope you enjoy this board as much as I have! It's so great to have this little heaven of the internet to retreat to, full of people who appreciate Doris and all of the things she has accomplished and done! And as one of her younger fans (just turned 20, and I agree age ain't nothing but a number!

) I don't think there is anyone better out there to look up to! I think she is amazing inspiration and I wish that more people, of all ages, could appreciate her talents and achievements.

Hope you post often!

- Heather
