We (at the Jordan Plantation in Texas) met with the producers of this
series, after they approached us about doing an episode featuring the
plantation. We decided that there wasn't a "fit" for several reasons. I
would be happy to discuss this off-list with anyone who might want to pursue
the idea.

cheers,

Carol McDavid
