Other news: An email from Kevin Sites!

Now this is exciting! Last week I called Yahoo Hot Zone Associate Producer Erin Green to let her and the Hot Zone team know that we'd started this project for Yubaraj. The first response I received was an enthusiastic email from Kevin Sites, the journalist who brought Yubaraj to our attention last May. In addition to sending a donation, he offered to help in any way possible --including a feature on Hot Zone's website. This would be a great way to get back in touch with the 70+ Yahoo members who originally voiced an interest in helping Yubaraj... and it just might catch the attention of a few thousand more!

I've talked with Erin Green, and she has started the requisite background check to make sure our project is one they would want to endorse. If she finds a reason to hold off on that endorsement, we certainly want to know what it is and I'll share that feedback here. But I anticipate that we'll get a green light from her and will keep you posted as the potential Hot Zone feature comes together.
