		<description>Hello my name is Merle Dean Shamblin and I would like to be your new friend. I sure could use somebody to chat with. I am a 47 year old long haul truck driver who currently lives in Duncan Oklahoma. Dec 8th 1960 I was born in Fairview Oklahoma. Moved to Caddo and Washita counties where I attended school at Colony Hydro and Weatherford. My parents Malvin and Wanda Shamblin were cotton and peanut farmers. Dad died in 99 from lung cancer. Graduated from SWOSU with a business degree. My two sisters are LaDonna Hubert and Malva Burrahm. Dennis is my brother. I have been a truck driver for 14 years and have driven 2 million paid miles. I have received many safe driving awards over the years. I am single and have never been married. I have a wide range of interests and am pretty much an open book. Currently I drive a 2006 Freightliner for a major carrier. I dont go to Canada very often. I dont have a dedicated route so I run the entire lower 48. I enjoy reading cinema music sports travel etc.</description>

		<description>Hello Donna:

I am sorry to post on your blog but could not find your email address.  
I am in the beginning stages of developing an anthology concerned around the issues transgender people deal with.  It is my hope that this anthology will give a personal account of the many unique challenges the transgender community must face while trying to actualize their true self.  I am looking for short stories of individual that concentrate on many different themes including the transition from birth sex to actual sex, individuals making the transition while in a relationship, coming out to family/friends/partners, life in rural areas, youth, transgender people of color, life in college/high school and even stories from those in relationships with transgender people.  

Submissions should range from 1,500-10,000 words.  They should be non-fiction and can be both humorous and serious.  If you could please let me know how I could disseminate this information to your contacts or on your website, it would be most helpful.  I am really passionate about getting this project off the ground and I think it can become a really important resource.  Here is my email address:  nicholas.severson@gmail.com

Thank you for all of your help.

Peace, Nicholas</description>
