Goodmorning-

I was sad to wake up and find out that Yolanda Rodriquez may be stepping down as Mrs Delaware United States 2007. I ask that before anyone makes any assumptions that they wait until Moore Pageant Productions makes an official statement. I had the pleasure of emceeing this event and also participating in Maryland. I can tell you that no wrong doing was done on the part of Moore Pageant Productions, the judges or auditor. Quite simply, the wrong name was written down on my sheet which happens. Regardless, the scores (which I have not seen) reflected the winner, which was Yolanda.

I know it is easy to make assumptions about people or situations but Yolanda is a wonderful lady as is Laura Price and ALL of the ladies who competed. Pageantry is much like family and we all at times are sensitive to certain situations. It is best to let this one be sorted out by THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVED and not go down the road of such negativity.

The United States pageant is VERY lucky to have a Director like Siouxzann and also queens like Yolanda. None of us are walking in her shoes or Laura's so this is where compassion should come to the forfront and we should support all of our sisters in pageantry.

Good luck to Yolanda (you are a Queen!!!!!) and whomever may or MAY NOT assume the title if Moore Pageant Productions so chooses.

Love to all-

Deanna
