For the first two weeks of our China adventure, we were struggling to find stories relevant to people back in Indiana. But in our final week in Shanghai, our fortunes began to change with the meeting of Jose Villarreal, the Commissioner General of the USA pavilion at the World Expo who just happened to be a Hoosier.

So, after Sarah and I did the interview and I worked with Terry and Suzy to tweak my print story, we now have our first published piece and Sarah on the brink of submitting an audio story about Villarreal to IPBS radio stations. Man, it’s a great to have things come together even if it means running around, trying to keep up with the opportunities that have presented themselves. We are working to pitch the story to other news outlets, but just to have it picked up by one is a great feeling. Here’s a link to our first published story on theindychannel.com – http://www.theindychannel.com/news/23778295/detail.html – and there will be plenty more where that came from.

Bravo to the whole crew!
