== Query ==

Hello RolandR,
You left a message and undid some of the edits that I did for Kathy Freston. I am a bit confused on all of this as she has been divorced from Tom Freston for over a year (there is not an article on this, but if this page/site is about accuracy, then the update should be left), her birthplace is incorrect on the page as it is Greenville, not Atlanta, and the information currently on the page " Tom Freston was largely responsible for her visibility, as Kathy Freston has no formal training or expertise in nutrition or biology. Tom was an executive at Viacom in charge of MTV Networks until 2006" has no citation or reference either and is all hearsay and therefore not credible, if you are saying that what I wrote is the same definition.

I have emailed Ms Freston on the past and got the response from her, "tried to share my life’s experiences that led me to this journey in my books. I don’t have any special education or especially relevant background, beyond the fact that I’ve found these topics to be engrossing. I've become somewhat of an obsessed researcher on the subject of plant-based food and all its healthy repercussions!" so that would seem to me to be a better source then someone else's apparent gossip, as stated in the current page.

It seems a bit shady to me that there is all this talk of her ex-husband, especially skewed in his direction, coming from articles written about him, on her page. I feel her page should be about HER and his articles can go to his Wiki page.

The Charlie Rose link is no longer active so why was it restored? This makes no sense to me and I am not sure of your interest in all of this?

Thank you,
Walt P.] (]) 22:53, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Ok, maybe you are right! Thank you for your reply! Astrology is not a science I know, but this is an interesting fact to create a new category to facilitate the search of the people born on a total solar eclipse day. It's so interesting to know it, why not? Like in Ancient Greece for example the fact of birth on such a day was considered very important.
