Reba joined her fans @ Reba.com for a "Back Porch Conversation," in promotion of her new book "Comfort From a Country Quilt," on Wednesday, April 28, 1999 at 8:30 p.m. Fans were able to ask questions as well as give comments. Below is the complete transcript of the chat session, no editing was made. There were monitors in the room that chose the questions that Reba would answer. Unfortunately, the Reba Chat Room is no longer running. She answered two of my questions! <=o) It was quite an exciting night for everyone. If you have questions about the transcript or the Chat Room feel free to email me.
