I answered the call - and it worked! Local news reporter Whitney Kent (WVLT) came to interview me today.
I was a little nervous about sending the requests to local news stations for day 1 of "Justice for Ethan." OK, that's an understatement. A few hours later when I got a message from one of them, I was scared to death!
But, I kept thinking -
This is for Ethan.
This is for Josh.
This is for everybody who has Ds.

And if you get a chance - please email Whitney and say Thanks! for doing the story.
As a side note- you'll notice that Josh had his full "Michael Jackson" regalia on. On the way home from the interview he said:
"You know - I was born to be a star. And you Mom, you can be my assistant."
Kinda says it all doesn't it?
