It was awesome. When that notification came in the mail, it was a huge weight off my shoulders.

My senior year, I lost a lot of weight. Maybe that's why. Maybe they thought I was too small or something.

What Georgi did was create the 'nuclear e-mail message,'

My mother answers all my fan mail.

I have 150 kids on my master e-mail list for the Playhouse, and I hand-picked the 22 I felt had the strongest voices and stage presence. Our whole mission is to get kids involved in the arts, so this was a great opportunity for them and for the Playhouse. These kids will be the best chorus the tour has ever had.

There's such a large direct mail campaign for all of the services. Names of people who aren't eligible to enlist are sometimes included.
