View Howard Boatman on Associated Content

Guest Content Producer - Howard's sister, Helene

Hi, I'm Helene. Howard Boatman is my brother. Howard is of course quite a few years older than me. I am the baby of the family. Natural blonde. Beautiful and fun to be with. Oh my, I'm blushing. Looking for another Mr. Right, if you're interested. Even as a child people were always saying how pretty I am. I haven't outgrown it.

Howard has always been the best big brother in the world. But, you know he calls me 'Helen' just to irritate me. I am Helene, a could have been star of the silver screen. My birth certificate is wrong. My name is misspelled. It says Helen, but it should be Helene. I just don't know why it was never corrected. Although they never said so, I'm sure mom and dad meant for me to be Helene. I am Helene.

Howard, you make a living with your consulting and in business. People around the country pay you well to hear what you have to say. So I say, Howard, why do you spend the time you do crafting these articles for 6 cents?

He tells me how much he likes the People's Media community. I'm sure he's met some interesting people and made some friends. He tells me how much he enjoys the great variety of things people on Associated Content are writing. He just speaks very favorably of Associated Content and the great environment of the People's Media. He tells me it's very competitive, and he really doesn't understand the payment reasoning. This is good exposure, he says.

Howard, I say, what do you mean good exposure, this exposure to people who pay you 6 cents.

So I'm asking you Associated Content readers. Help his little baby sister out. I'd like him to make enough at least to take me to a nice restaurant for dinner. I won't order the big steak. And we'll split a dessert. Okay. Maybe you can join us, handsome. We can drop Howard off early.

You've got some pretty good choices. Howard has not been nominated yet for any Pulitzer prizes but I know he will someday. It's good reading. Let's talk about it for a minute.
