Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 36 | Though I am just getting started on my anti-smokeless campaign, I am hoping to carry it nationwide. Hopefully this will help... http://www.nstep.org/Speakers/CurtisAnsley.htm I am hoping to reach as amny people as I can. Maybe some will listen, maybe some won't. But at least I can say I tried.

Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,912 Likes: 52 | Curtis, this is a great group. I am pleased to see that you have hooked up with them, but I hope that it doesn't mean we will lose your insights here as they are valued. NSTEP is the group responsible for getting spit tobacco off of our major league baseball diamonds and TV broadcasts for those who do not know.
As part of Oral Health America, who has a 5 million dollar annual grant from the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation which has been given to them for many years now, actually long before OCF started, it goes to show you what happens when committed people get hooked up with money. They have been a major force in changing the world of spit tobacco. But there is still much to do. Please stick around here as well and tell us of your new adventure as it unfolds.

Not surprised that you are expanding your motivational speaking. You are an inspiration to us all. Just knowing that you will save so many lives, must be a wonderful feeling.
Keep up the good work and as Brian said, we still need you here.
Please check out Ben's post in the introduction section of the forum. I'm sure your story will give him a boost in the right direction.

No way will I stop posting in here. This board has alot to offer and I plan to utilize it. Plus, I do look forward to working with you on future projects if it becomes possible. I do not know what being on this speakers bureau holds for me. My plan is to take it where NSTEP hasn't gone. I really want to reach those in the outdoor fields, i.e. fishing, hunting etc.
Time will tell. But whatever God has planned for me, I have no plans on leaving this forum.
