    Great documentation, Bill. Thank you. If someone should mutter some disparaging opinion in the media, we now have a clear and orderly response.

      Someone has - the responses to the announcement on the RCS Facebook page are appalling, so I felt I had to do something. This has been posted there, and now tweeted.

          Thanks Bill for being so alert. The naysayers and the begrudgers it seems continue to thrive.

                Have been to FB. Such a shame that those young people have to say disparaging things about Susan.
                And they are such "experts"????

                Bless this woman for who she is! Honest, Wholesome, Real and Persevering!

                  That is fabulous, CB, and it must've taken some time to compile all that information. It definitely shows what a fantastic, caring person Susan is and what an amazing entertainer she is. I had read some of those disparaging comments in one of the newspapers that carried the article. So this should set everyone straight as to why Susan deserves this award.

                    That's a shame, Bill. Why would they do that? I sure hope Susan doesn't see any of the referenced comments.

                      Why would they do that? Because they don't have a clue about what she has accomplished and contributed in 5 short years. imo :>)

                              Thanks Bill, your post makes it very clear to the doubters why Susan deserves her honorary degree
                              Treat every person with kindness and respect, even those who are rude to you. Remember that you show compassion to others not because of who they are but because of who you are.
