MISS AMERICA JOURNEY DAY SIX

Hot off the press courtesy of Lois Elaine

YES, WE WILL HAVE THE MISS AMERICA PAGEANT, '"GOD BLESS AMERICA"

Today, Breann was off early to Boardwalk Hall. Barbara was at a State traveling Companion luncheon and they had back stage tour and into the Boardwalk Hall and it is gorgeous. She said we will not even recognize it

Breann said girls with "OK spirits, no one lost family members. Ladies had smiles on their faces and a lot of praying taking place.

Five branches of clergy available today. Jewish, Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, and Episcopal . Each of the clergy made comments and gave short inspirational talks to the group of 51 contestants. All contestants had a chance to speak and had private talks with their choice of clergy. The group came together and had prayer.

The girls met amongst themselves for nearly two hours and they wanted to go ahead with the Pageant. They did a vote on paper and the vote was two to one in favor of having the Pageant. During the time they met, they all decided no matter what the vote was, they would go ahead in confidence.

Rehearsals all afternoon and today rehearsing on swimsuit.

"All in Good Spirits"

They waited for the decision and at 6 PM Eastern time, a press conference was called and you may find exact words on Web Site however here it is in brief "After talking with National Leadership, with ABC, with fifty one contestants and production and the Board, we have decided to go ahead with the Miss America Pageant in good taste. Some comments were "Contestants had a right to Freedom of self expression and going to allow us to do by holding the Pageant".

We would not allow the Terrorists to hold Miss America Hostage.

Miss America is an "ICON", 'TRADITION' AND "HISTORY"

In a special note of interest to all "Father's and or escorts will escort every nite in
Presence and Poise (Evening wear) "
