that we are interested in.”
A hand went up and Aafre said, “Yes Marcell, do you have a comment on this?”
“Isn’t this guy supposed to be dressed in gunny sacks or sackcloth? I mean he has on designer shoes, shirt, slacks, and jacket and is very well groomed.”
Aafre smiled and said, “Marcell do you know what sackcloth means? I doubt it for very few do. Sackcloth means clothing of the people. In addition, he may well change his attire during the period he is to be here. Therefore, the way he is dressed is quite appropriate, because he looks just like everyone else. Does that answer your question?”
“Yes,” Marcell said, “I guess it does. But I have to tell you this guy, if he is who you think he is, has me worried.”
“In time, Marcell, we will explain how we will deal with Mr. Jack South.”
Aafre took a few more questions, and then said, “Let’s wrap it up for now. I understand they are starting and giving some background information on Jack. Let us watch the interview. I think it is now beginning.”
I looked up and the screen and sound came back on. The Bear News logo was on the screen with a special report from Bear News scrolling along the bottom of the screen. Their ratings had to be going up. Jack South, for now is the most interesting person on the planet, and If I guess correctly, he is about to shock the world, yet again.

10:15 AM EST Day one of 1260 New York - Bear News Interview Studio
A few minutes after John Roddenburg left, a nice older woman, close to her 50’s or beyond, came in. She had a very nice demeanor. She introduced herself as Sherry Stewart and said she was an assistant to John. She asked us to follow her and she took us to another studio that was almost a duplicate of the one at The Network this morning.
Like the Network Studio, it had a long leather couch, what appeared to be the interviewer’s chair, and thick carpeting on the floor of a pale crème color. Some differences though were there was a coffee table in front of the couch and a nice braided rug underneath it. Unlike The Network’s setup, it looked somewhat homey. There was even an end table with a vase and flowers at the other end of the couch. I supposed it was to make the guest feel more comfortable while being interviewed.
Sherry told me that I would be sitting on the couch at the end next to John’s chair. She then took me over to the monitor and turned on the computer that was, attached to it. As the PC was loading, she started explaining how it worked and that all I had to do is play like my fingers were a mouse.
Once the PC booted up, she placed a DVD in one of the drives saying it had been, sent over by our advertising agency. As it loaded, she showed me some markings on the floor made from pieces of tape and said that I needed to stay behind these marks or I would block the monitor when I wanted the viewer to see what I had on the screen.
She showed me how I could use my finger to hit the start button on the screen, which I did. Once the image came up, she showed me how to drag and drop other things like icons and so on. She also showed me how to use two fingers to make a square around an area in order to enlarge the section. Once we were done, she then asked if I wanted to have any text scrolling at the bottom of the screen. I replied, “No, but thanks for asking.”
“Well I hope it all works out for you,” she said. She then called over to one of the techs and they came over, and affixed a microphone to my lapel and asked me to say something. She asked me to walk from the monitor to the couch and back while I was talking.
“Test, test, test,” I said as I walked back and forth. They made some adjustments and then I was then directed back to the couch where I sat down.
Sherry then said, “John will be here soon,” then left the area.
I saw Mark over by the cameras standing. I gave him the okay sign. He smiled at me and I smiled back. Well I guess I was ready. It is
