[Mb-hair] Ossie Davis snub at Academy Awards

[Sharmagne Leland-St.John]

They didn't mention Jan Sterling at all.  That is really snubbing at its 
best!  On New Years Eve the head of the Motion Picture Country Home told me 
thay had lost her recently.  I had to go to a biker bar in Arlington just to 
see it.  Got there b/c ihad to walk 2 miles.. and then it was so smoky I 
could barely see the tv screen!LOL!  Let alone hear it!  but all said and 
done country life does agree with me! And think of the gas I saved!LOL!
