Just thought I'd let you all know....I've sent word to John asking for a

Hi Susan!  I'd be interested in a complete quote, too.  I lived in
Mississippi also as a child.  I don't know where Amory is. . .(I'll have to
get out the Atlas!)  I lived in Meridian.  I remember coming through Tupelo
also, on the way back to live with my grandparents in southern Illinois.

We are all so lucky to have you as a friend and fellow member on this
listserv. Your willingness to share with us about your contact with John
makes us feel like we personally know our "angels." Thanks so much. . .

I have met some really special people on this list, too.  I love being a member!

Love to All,

Subject: the reunion

Just a little thought regarding the "who'd sit next to John at dinner"
dilemma:  how many members of AiA would actually be able to eat
anything in the presence of that sweet guy?  I for one couldn't eat a
bite!! :)  It's so great that the thought of putting a reunion
together is getting such a positive response from everyone.  I'm one
of those several who would have to get real creative with the finances
to be able to go, but one way or another I'd get there (wherever there
happened to be).  I feel having it anywhere but SLC would take
something away from the experience.  Don't get me wrong - it'd still
be great, but I'd love to be able to see some of the places where my
favorite show is filmed, and get a feel for what the city is like.  I
also feel our chances of being able to get together with the cast are
best in SLC.  One more thing, I think we should keep it pretty small;
a convention just seems too impersonal.  The fewer people we have, the
more personal the weekend could be. It's beginning to feel like less
and less of a longshot every day!

As for hearing John/Andrew sing - it would be the most beautiful music
ever made! :)  I'm not a classical music fan, but I'm sure I could
learn to like it coming from him.  Hey AiA, if the reunion ever comes
to pass, maybe we could get him to sing something for us!!  I'd melt -
anyone else? 

Remember, with God, all things are possible...

Subject: Re: TBAA convention?

I think all of this planning sounds like a wonderful idea, but I do want to
add a note of caution to it all.  While it is very neat to dream about
talking to and bonding with the cast of the show, realistically we can't
expect anything with the cast and/or crew to happen if we all head out there.
 We have to remember that this is a top ten show - which means millions of
people watch it.  We have no right to expect that out of those millions, *we*
should be blessed or lucky enough to get to meet everyone just because we
headed out there.  

I know Oprah referred to TBAA as an 'open set', but I have repeatedly heard
in the past that it is a closed set.  I tend to think that what Oprah meant
and what 'open set' usually means are two different things.  Traditionally,
from what I've heard, an "open set" is one where you can basically call up
ahead of time and ask to visit, and if it's not inconvenient for them they
will arrange to let you watch them film provided you keep out of their way.
 I'm pretty sure this isn't the policy on TBAA.  It's *rarely* the policy on
any network show that is doing anywhere near this well in the ratings.  I'm
therefore inclined to think that Oprah's use of the term was to indicate that
it is a *friendly* set.  

You'll notice that the fans we saw were approaching while they were filming
on location.  Chances are good that they were fans who happened to be in the
area while filming was going on, rather than someone who called ahead of time
and was *told* where to go.  I've seen filming on location before - it's a
lot easier just to let people who happen upon you watch than to try to get
them to go away, if they aren't causing trouble.  And I *do* think TBAA *is*
an open, friendly set (in that sense of the word).  However I don't think it
would be a good idea to head down to SLC and case the area looking for
location filming.  That would be a scary thing to do, and the last thing we
want to do is be scary.  *I* would hide from fans who were acting that scary.
 :-)

Before anyone protests, I am the *last* person to say anything is impossible.
 I'm only pointing out that the proposed scenarios would be quite improbable.
 I also realize that some of the posts were made as dreams or jokes, but it's
not entirely clear in all of them that this is the case so I wanted to make
sure everyone here was aware of the above.  

All of this *is* actually leading up to something - how much interest is
there in this trip if we *can't* meet with any of the cast or crew of TBAA?
 I would still love to meet y'all, and there are lots of fun things we could
do down there. (Including drinking mocha latte!)  I would love to see the
Great Salt Lake, and head up into the mountains for a hike, for instance.
 And there is a lot to see and visit right in the city.  

Anyhow, those are my thoughts on the subject.  :-)

Take care,

Jennie

	I for one would like to meet all of you whether or not we could meet the 
cast and crew of TBAA.  My idea would be to set up our meeting (I still prefer 
SLC, for the same reasons as you, as well as it being the "home" of TBAA), and 
invite the cast and crew to come and meet all of us, that way there is no 
pressure on them or the production company to "host" us.  We would then be 
"hosting" them.  Nothing formal like a convention type style, just like a good 
old fashioned family (which, in a way, we are!!) reunion.  
	Meeting the cast and crew of TBAA has always been (and probably always 
will) be a huge "fantasy" of mine.  So I'll just keep praying that someday that 
fantasy comes true.  And if God "happens" to join it with a "family reunion", so 
be it.
	But this is all MHO :)

Subject: Intro, plus.

  My name is Larry, 43 years old. I'm married with a 21-year-old daughter, 
and two cats. After watching TBAA sporadically in the first year, we 
started watching regularly in year 2. This year we had alternated between 
the angels and a certain alien in blue tights. Since the super-guy has 
moved away, we returned our full attention to Miss Wings. Our other TV 
fare includes: Early Edition, Walker, Texas Ranger, NBC's Tuesday and 
Thursday shows, ER, Chicago Hope, NYPD Blue, Party of Five and FOX's 
soaps. (What a range, from angelic Monica to devil-in-disguise Amanda 
Woodward.)
  Re: 4/6 ep: I thought the blending of Jewish and Navajo cultures was 
well-done. It made me realize that TBAA reflects God's love without 
actually saying it's a Christian thing. That's good. A show that accepts 
the diverse beliefs of our world without favoring one over the other is a 
lesson a lot of people could use, including some religious leaders. Who 
can say that you can't get God's love if you don't accept certain 
beliefs? After all, isn't God's love unconditional? That's what Monica 
and Tess are trying to tell us. Question is, who is listening?

and I thought I would drop a line and introduce myself.  I live in
Corsicana, Texas and I work at Navarro College in the same city.  The

I agree with you on all counts, Tina. . .I would be too excited to eat!  I
would love to meet the series stars, but if that didn't happen, I'd still
want to meet all my new friends on the Angel list.  I think having the
reunion in SLC would be neat, simply because I've never been out West.

I'd love to hear John sing, too.  In an earlier post of mine, I wrote that
I'd like to hear a duet with Andrew and Tess, an old-time gospel song, at
the bedside of some person who was dying, as Andrew was getting ready to
escort that person to heaven. What a tear-jerker! (Since John is trained in
Classical/Jazz, I don't think Gospel would be that hard for him to do.  If
he's been trained vocally, I'm sure he could sing gospel.)  I sing too,
(mainly country-rock), and it doesn't seem like gospel would be as hard to
do as classical or jazz.  I've never tried to sing jazz however; I think
both jazz and classical would present more of a challenge for me. I've had
some, but very little, formal training.

Della's talent really amazes me, since she's had no formal singing or acting
lessons. . .a gift from God, that's all!

It's almost the same thing as meeting someone from online on a 1 to 1 basis.
 It is a scary thing. You don't know for sure what the person is like even
while you are talking to them in person.  

Also another thing that has been a tad irritating about the most recent
posts, is the surge of Andrew popularity.  I will agree that he is a very
good looking man, and his hair does look WUN-DER-FUL in front of the "holy
angel glow", but does it have to be repeated everytime.  He's beginning to be
as popular as Pooh Bear & friends. :p  I mean I love Pooh and Pooh is cute
too, but I certainly don't idolize him.  :p "Thou shall have no other gods

I didn't think the purpose of this list was to get any kind of "holy
revelation". . .I thought we were here to discuss our favorite TV Show,
Touched By An Angel.  We're here to have fun, and to make friends.  The list
is not a church, nor do we try to impose our own beliefs and opinions on
others who subscribe to the list.

Yes, the "Andrew" character appeals to me and to a lot of the other
listmembers, and we enjoy talking about him.  I don't "idolize" him, and I
don't think anyone else does, either.  Yes, John Dye is attractive; that's a
given; that's part of the appeal of the "Andrew" character, but a very small
part.  The major appeal of Andrew is his gentleness and compassion.  (IMHO
God expects that from all of us.) The producers saw fit to make the
character a regular on the show because he exemplifies qualities we all
should have, and through his presence and manner, gives the audience
different view of the subject of death and dying than the usual treatment
given by TV, literature, and movies.  I for one, think it's great, and I
enjoy these discussions.  We are all welcome to discuss what we want, as
long as it relates to the show, and as long as it is done with courtesy and
respect.  Anybody else want to help me, here?

My 2 cents, too. . .   :-)

Love to All,

Darla

I want to second what Jennie said.  I used to work for a studio many
moons ago, and nothing "spooked" production crews and the casts of the
shows more than having fans show up unannounced on a set.  And if TBAA is
a closed set (as I suspect it probably is), nobody would get any further
than the security guard posted 1/4 mile away from the "action" anyhow
without proper clearance.

The reason they close sets, especially with popular shows such as TBAA,
is because there are a lot of mentally ill people out there.  Remember
Rebecca Schaeffer?  The studio I worked for was the same one where a
security guard was shot and killed by a "fan" who was trying to get to
Michael Landon.  It is a sad reality of life that these people are out
there, and the production crews can't tell the difference on the surface
who are the mentally ill and who are just "enthusiastic".  Their number
one priority while they are on location, besides putting out the best
show they can, is to keep their people safe, and I have a feeling that if
we all showed up there en masse it would result in a little "discussion"
with the local law enforcement. :-)

Anyway, that is my perspective on the matter.  Of course, if someone has
a contact at TBAA and can get clearance for us, that would be a different
story.  I also would be interested in an informal get together with just
us, although finances would be interesting to work out.

Just my $.02

There has always been that popularity here for John and his character Andrew, it 
is not a "surge".  Just sometimes us Andrew/John fans don't speak our thoughts 
"outloud".  But that's what makes this list fun and exciting.  The ability to 
share a common interest (TBAA) and things/people that relate to it (whether it 
be Tess, Monica, or Andrew, the wee dog ..etc).

The only thing I "idolize" (if that's what you want to call it, I prefer to call 
it *admiring*) about John/Andrew *is* his strong faith in God, gentleness and 
compassion. It is because of those qualities that John has and shows through 
Andrew, that gave special meaning to an episode that changed my life around.  He 
truely is a rare and special person, whom I would love to meet if just to 
"learn" those things from him.  I don't believe admiring someone for those 
qualities is wrong, as long as we don't "forget" Whom is first in our lives.  
Matter of fact, I think it even says so in the Bible (I just can't think clearly 
where right now, as I'm still relatively "new" to it, can anyone who is more 
knowledgeable in it help me out here?).

I guess that makes it 4 cents worth now.

Until later.  I won't add my "usual" line, since it seems to offend others (I'll 
have to think up a new one).
