Hi Julia, This is what I found on wikipedia.com, if it is dirt they want:... In March 2006, Hatcher revealed to Vanity Fair that she was sexually abused from the age of five by Richard Hayes Stone, an uncle by marriage who was later divorced by Hatcher's aunt. Her parents, she said, were unaware of the abuse at the time.[2] In 2002, she assisted Santa Clara County prosecutors with their indictment of Stone for a more recent molestation that led his female victim to commit suicide at the age of 14.[1] Stone pleaded guilty to four counts of child molestation and was sentenced to 14 years in prison.[3] In an interview appearing in Vanity Fair, Hatcher said she told the prosecutors about her own abuse because she was haunted by thoughts of the 14-year-old girl who shot herself, and feared Stone might escape conviction. Stone died of colon cancer on August 19, 2008, having served six years of his sentence.[4]   BB ________________________________ From: Julia Hatcher <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, February 16, 2010 9:41:59 AM Subject: Re: [HATCHER] Group think time.......... Nel- I just talked with a producer friend, and he suggested contacting Dr. Louis Gates, Ph.D, at Harvard.  He is behind the whole concept as it evolved from his lineage work with African/Americans, Russian Americans, etc.  My friend says the shows producers are more interested in finding unique unknown facts about famous people, rather than just the lineage of a white European.  So, he suggested Gates as the "backdoor" angle.  What do you know about Teri's background that noone else, including her, knows?  That's what they are interested in.  Also, he suggested you try to contact her directly via Twitter, Face book, or My Space. ------Original Message------ From: nelhatch Sender: [email protected] To: [email protected] ReplyTo: [email protected] Subject: Re: [HATCHER] Group think time..........

I would also need someone capable of writing good business letters. I do know Beth can write but there are other good letter writers in our bunch, too. I see this being successful only if it's a team effort using all our best talents. And if it actually ends up looking positive, I think we would need a lawyer.......but we have one of those, too. I will assume that this is not just a one-time event and that they will be [or already are] working on next year's shows.
