Note from Vicki ReneThis is one of the nicer ladies around. I asked her to do this interview and she said, “She would love to” I did not hear from her for a while, my thoughts were, “she forgot me” but, I got this email from her, all apologies, seems a couple of things happened, that delayed the interview, one being the “Miss Gay America Pagenat”, which she won and she had a hurricane to deal with named Katrina. This lady will always be at the top of my list of friends and someone that will stand by her commitment.
