Puppets and People


I love to watch children laugh spontaneously. That's exactly what happens when kids watch Bob Kramer Marionnettes. This puppet theatre in the Central West End is really a St.Louis gem. It's been around for, get ready for this, forty-five years!
They credit their longevitiy to hard work, their love for children and puppets. Tune in Sunday night April 13th to see kids faces light up as they're entertained. We'll also go behind the scenes to see exactly what it takes to make a marionnettes. You may be surprised.

The other thing I love are young entrepreuners who get into the game of owing their own business. This Sunday, April 6th, we'll introduce you to Janice Gregory. She is a public relations, marketing person. Her firm is called, Gregory Communications. She's a great role model and a positive person. I highly recommend anyone, especially young people, to watch.
You never know where your inspiration will come from.

All this and more Sunday nights at 9pm on CW 11 News. Tune in with anchor Jeff Bernthal.
Thanks for watching and keep your ideas rolling in. I'll keep profiling positive people!
Someday Spring will really be here!

Something's Brewing At Starbucks


Did you get a free cup of coffee at one of the sixty Starbuck's in the St.Louis area?
"Pike Place Market" coffee is named after the first Starbuck's store in Seattle in 1971.
CEO Howard Schultz is reinventing the company and decided to listen to what customers want! One thousand people polled indicated they didn't necessarily always want a cup of coffee strong enough to keep you awake for two days.
So, today free coffee as Starbuck's tries to get back to it's roots when coffee didn't cost A-Latte if you will. I say he can do it. I think his efforts to get back to where he once belonged is going to work.
What do you think?
