求教分发寻人启事传单的方法

Detective E. C. told me the best we can do NOW to help Annie is to distribute the Missing Persons flyers everywhere (AZ, CA especially) to make sure that she will see it or someone will report her if he/she spots her.  He also gave me the Missing Person Ad he prepared.

I think you would see Annie's "寻人启事" in "Arizona Chinese News" tommrow. I talked to "Arizona Republic" and found out that they couldn't use her photo or her last name in the ad, and the ad would be put under "Personal Notice". I don't know how effective it would be.

In New York area, I may be able to put the ad on "世界日报", But I am not sure which Chinese newpaper and English newspaper are popular in California, especially in L.A. and San Francisco. If you are in these areas, please email me the infomation to [email protected].  Thank you very much for your help.

Phoenix is so different from NYC. It spreads out instead of going up. I was told that it is a much safer place than NYC. According to someone who likes to joke a lot, it is because everybody here carries a gun. His story goes like this: "I was sitting in my car, and a guy approached me and said 'gave me your money.' I pulled out my gun and pointed at him: 'Oh, yeah? I don't think so.' "

I was running late to catch my train to NYC the other day. It was first time for me to ask someone to give me a ride (and I offered him $10). Well, in the end I caught the train just in time. It was a free ride and I got to know a very nice old gentleman Mr. B.G. (he spends half of the year in Florida and the other half in Connecticut).  Thank you, Mr. G!
