November 2000 MANAGER/PROMOTER OF THE MONTH JERRY RIVERA

FUTURE HEROES AWARD WINNER!

I had just arrived in the Fort Worth/Dallas airport in Texas, and chose a seat close to the airport window. I was to watching for my next plane to arrive.

I began a conversation with a lady and told her I was from Nashville. I'm on my way to the Lone Star State Awards show, in Beaumont, when the next plane arrives to take me there," I said to her.

Suddenly the man sitting on my immediate left, rose and stuck out his hand, "I'm Jerry Rivera, from Kissimmee Florida. Keith Bradford from Nashville invited me up. Do you know him? I'm also am on my way to the Awards show. "

"Small world" I said, "I'm Anna Prince. Keith of KMA Records is my neighbor! Your name is Rivera? Are you kin to Geraldo Rivera on television? I was a guest on his T.V. show in New York once.' "Well yes, I am related to Geraldo, or so I am told. He is my cousin."

So, this is how I met Promoter, Jerry Rivera. We traveled on to Beaumont together. Once in Beaumont two airports away, we learned we had both previously booked our stay at the same Days Inn, on the pool side with rooms a few feet from each other! Keith and his wife Leta's room were appropriately between us. I learned that Jerry Rivera was formerly the promoter and talent scout for ED MCMAHAN in STAR SEARCH. That his company and KMA Records had been working together in Florida.

Jerry Rivera lives in Kissimmee Florida and produces shows for the WILD HORSE SALOON at DISNEY WORLD. He hosts and produces two weekly show which he calls
YOU ARE THE STAR.
