Don Ostertag: Off Stage 
Oh I love your stories and insight!
I feel the same about your posts, Anne. Before I started reading your blog, India was just another space on the map. Now, it’s a place that of real interest on my part. Thank you.
That makes me so happy. Thank you for reading and sharing!

What an interesting picture and comment about being photographers of eagles. Thanks for sharing this. And I’m really touched by the comment from Don Ostertag above. Very moving.

Good to get a “like” from you. Thanks
Thanks Don. A calm, measured voice full of sense and feeling is needed in such terrible times. Thom.
Wanted you to know about our visit to Cambridge to Celebrate George’s Life with the completed and corrected stone raised after 70+ years!
Such a precious time for you and such a memory for the youngsters – a real teaching experience of the sacrifices that were paid to keep America free. Thank you for sending me the video, Anne. And thank you on behalf of the 82nd in correcting the stone of One of Our Finest. He gave the ultimate and he is still remembered by his family even after all these. And as a former member of your 82nd Airborne, I salute you, George
Thank you JC and may you and yours have a Merry Christmas.
Fun intro.
Glad you liked it. Hope you read more of the blog and have more fun.
I found Don Ostertag: Off Stage very educational.
Hello! Someone in my Myspace group shared this website with us so I came to take a look.
I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m book-marking and
will be tweeting this to my followers! Terrific blog and terrific style and design.
Terrific stuff!
Thank you, John.
glad I found you, you have had a wonderful full life that has left you with so much material to write from. glad you are doing so, interesting reads
Thank You my friend. These are indeed ‘interesting times’. With all the massive turmoil – personal, natural, and manmade, I do believe we are entering a unique Spiritual moment.
I have missed your posts, but take care of yourself and your family. That is the most important thing.
I deleted your harmless comment about my health on my blog that was the target for the porn to spring from 2 days ago and since then I have received none of thee porn email. Maybe that will help. I should have done it before but didn’t think about it. That still doesn’t get WP off the hook. True, they did prevent the comments from appearing on my blog but they never stopped them from our emails.
Don,
Thank You. Very sorry has happened to you. I will consider the same actions with offending emails to my posts. The most annoying feature of all this is the inaction of WP to my complaint. This is undoubtedly happening to many of us – their customers.
Now I haven’t received one single e-mails since Tuesday from any of the blogs I follow. How about you?
Don,
I followed your advice about deleting any comments from my archive that looked suspicious and I haven’t received any since then either. Nice going!!
I did hope to resolve this thing myself because I had little confidence in WP doing anything. And they seemed (incredibly) to know nothing about it. But it can’t be only happening to you and me so that is very puzzling. Go figure?
Let me know if you are receiving emails on new posts by bloggers you follow.
NO. I haven’t received any emails to my last 2 posts. That’s not unusual though.
I think things will be ok now. Should be. The offending emails were entering due to an email that I responded to which was my still in my Comments archive.
Don … ive noticed im not getting any comments now either. Nor are my Posts appearing in my email InBox? This is not good. I can’t even be sure now that people are getting my Posts. ??? I’ve got to fix this pronto. All this has been a product of those malignant emails we’ve getting I’m sure. They are still coming but go into my spam filter. They are sent by Bots I’m and will not stop.
Go into settings and enable Browser notifications. It’s not email but it works just as good.
Nothing seems to work. I’m sure it’s something simple that can readily be fixed, but I can’t find it. I’ll the kid to to look at it. He’s a Tech.
Thank you! Great stuff to read!
Hi. I hope you are well, and still monitoring this site. The show you worked where Joan Rivers yelled “And she’s dead!” about Marylin Monroe… is that recorded/available online somewhere? Or do you remember the context? Your website is the only match I’ve found while searching for it. Thanks for anything you might remember.
I really don’t remember her cut up on MM before she screamed she’s dead. There’s quite a lot of Rivers on U Tube. Maybe you can find it there.
That’s okay. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Have a good day!
