So I had to look this up…..thanks Larell for my lesson today but really, you CAN do it. Go for it and do not worry, it is just one qualifier, you will have many opportunities not only for Coney but for all! And I think, now I know you are going to pull this one off.

Could be lots of reasons for no Grace but maybe she looked more carefully at what Nathans was all about and what she would have to eat and bowed out. The radio station certainly did not do their homework, perhaps after the fact she did. She wins anyway, got publicity for her business, she really doesn’t need to go out of her area to be successful with that and to align herself with mle could be a detriment to her goals. I do not think she needs them, and they do not need her.
