I remember meeting at Diane’s office — the old music classroom in one of the re-purposed schools in Jerome — where we talking about blogging, social media, podcasting and more while i scribbled my thoughts on the huge blackboards in the room.

It is still one of those places I make a point to visit whenever I am in the area, though. Jerome is s very special place.

I have been reading excerpts of Home Sweet Jerome on Diane’s web site and have love learning more about the town and especially the people who made it what it is today.

So sweet, Doug. Thank you. I too remember those happy times in home sweet Jerome. . .and at your beautiful home and garden. Someday I’ll be visiting JoAnn again in LA and look forward to getting together.
