[stylist] I'm new

[Ashley Bramlett]

Donna,
Nice to meet you.  Perhaps we can chat about PR off list if I get a job or 
volunteer opportunity in that area.  I'm trying to also volunteer now so I 
stay busy and have job skills for my resume.
You love music; maybe you were self employed?

Justin, nice to see you here.  I do remember you from the other list.  I'll 
assume you either write for fun or on the job since you're on this list.
Take care.
Ashley
