Can you see me somewhere else?

Yes, you can!  I’ve been an admirer of Joan Rivers since I first saw her on TV in the early 70′s!   I started impersonating her when I was with The Braschler Music Show – that would have been around 1987 so…  I still perform as her today – it’s the #1 character requested that I do.  Long story-short, 2 years ago I flew to Minneapolis, MN. (Thanks to QVC & my sister, Jennifer) & spent the day with her.  A film crew that had been following her for over 1 year was with her.  They found out about my affiliation with Joan so I am in the new documentary called, ‘Joan Rivers – A Piece of Work’.  It is rated R for strong adult language, but it is a real look into the life of the hardest working person in show business!

Joan signed, “Dear Terry – Great to see you again – Joan Rivers”

Speaking of hard working women…

My wife Dede, is a Realtor & you can reach her at dedesanders1.com for ALL your Real Estate needs!

Nice to hear from you!

I am always humbled & flattered by those who stop to say, “Hey Homer Lee!” either here or at one of my jobs.  Thanks for your love & support over these 33 years.  It means so much to me & my family, especially at Christmas time with your cards & letters.

God bless you & yours!

Always,

Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders
