Subject: I watched miss America and the best talent won. And it was a phenomenal talent! I love Morgan and I know the Miss SC Board has always been successful in preparing their girls for the national level. And I have no doubt Morgan will shine at the national level.

[> [> [> Subject: Bo I’m replying to the above remark that “if you watched Miss America it was apparent that talent was not a primary factor” to that part I disagree, there was great talent and the greatest talent won!
