IPS on Oprah?


Yes that's right! Never in my 25 years at IPS would I have ever guessed that IPS would be involved in anything that would attract Oprah producers, especially in the 25th and final season of her show!

Nevertheless, in September Hank Dye was contacted by producers at HARPO Productions regarding an upcoming segment on "Celebrities and Their Dream Jobs". Who knew television star Angie Harmon wants to be a real life CSI?

In less than one week from the initial contact, we had negotiated the terms, arranged the schedule and shot the segment! A film crew arrived Tuesday, September 27 in Oak Ridge (along with Angie). She was filmed spattering blood, among a number of other investigative techniques.

Nathan was out of town at the Leadership Academy, so Don, Mike and Robert graciously agreed to take on this tough assignment. Although none of them had a speaking part when the show aired September 27, Robert did make the show!

Congratulations to a job well done!
