Blog hits 20 K

From John Curry, August 19, 2006

CONGRATULATIONS TO KATHIE BRACY! Her STRS blog http://kathiebracy.blogspot.com/ has just surpassed the 20,000 (20,049 to be exact) hits milemarker! She has devoted hours and hours to this blog to keep it up to date and - IT SHOWS!!

The other two sites which also discuss STRS matters are listed below with their titles and the number of "hits." Kate is outhitting them most every day - and the reason is obvious - she publishes a blog with info that retirees (and actives) can relate to and she is not afraid to ruffle feathers when a good "ruffling" is deserved. The "other sites" are below along with their total "hits."

ORTA http://www.orta.org/ 11,063 hits

Thanks, John! And kudos to you and all who provide material for my blog, and to all the READERS -- you ALL make this blog possible. Note: I started this blog Oct. 9, 2005, but didn't add the hit counter till Jan. 15, 2006 (because I didn't know how). Just started a new blog this week, for any interested musicians: www.lakesidesymphony.blogspot.com. KBB
