WHERE IS judy from the Dennis and judy show on j101.5?

Staff Writer EWING - Listeners of the popular "Dennis and Judi" show on New Jersey 101.5 will now only have the memories.
Judi Franco, who co-hosted the midday show with Dennis Malloy for the last 11 years, has left the station.
"I resigned back in September," Franco told The Trentonian yesterday. "I have a son at home with special needs, and three older kids. I thought the older they got the easier it would be, but it's harder. It's the old working mother story."
Franco said she had been thinking about leaving the show for a few years, and the thought of looking back in a decade and realizing all her kids were grown up ended up being the deciding factor. "I just don't want people to think I got fired! I'd hate for them to think that," she said. "I wish I could tell you they were all bastards and kicked me out, but that's not what happened."
Of course, since her final broadcast last week, she's woken up crying over her decision.
"I'm thinking, 'What have I done?' I've talked to Dennis 15 times a day since I left," Franco said. "But right now, for instance, I'm with my son, and I know I had to do it."
Over the last 11 years, Dennis and Judi have discussed nearly every topic under the sun, from state tax policies to the fact the author of this piece of journalism married outside his religion. Through it all, the show remained light, with comedy and timing always rising to the forefront.
As for future plans, Franco says she's "not looking to do anything else, and I'm not in discussions with anyone else; it was just time."
She said she has a children's musical she wrote, and it's something she plans on pursuing now.
Yesterday, Michelle Pilenza was on-air with Malloy, and according to the NJ101.5 Web site, she and Malloy are now the co-hosts in the 10 a.m.-2 p.m. slot.
No word if Judi's raspy-voiced dad, Joe Franco, will continue to call in.

What were the names of Mark Twain's daughters?
Their names were Susy, Clara, and Jean. He had 3 daughters and ? sons.
Sam Clemmons might have been a good student if he had the opportunity to be a student at all. After his father's death he became a printer's apprentice at the age of 12. He was clearly a good observer and a quick learner as he began almost immediately contributing articles and by age 17 had published in a literary magazine. He also became a river boat pilot in his twenties which was the inspiration for his pseudonym of Mark Twain.
The pilots (on the Mississippi in this case) using a plumbline measured the depth of water. They would call out the depth in fathoms. "By the mark -- twain" meant the water was two fathoms or 12 feet deep. OR a more fun answer. . . Mark Twain could stand for Twain's obsessive drinking and his calling for two beers by saying Mark Twain or Mark Two (Source Mark Twain: His Amazing Adventures by A&E 1997 by Director Bill Harris)
Carla Heine of Haunted Sonoma adds: Mark Twain was as close to the shore as a riverboat could get safely. As the plumb boy Sam Clemens, to call "Mark Twain!" up to the Captain of the steamboat was to tell him "all is well'" As a riverboat captain, Sam Clemens was always glad to hear this call from his plumb boy. Anything less than Mark Twain meant the boat was headed for a scrape at best. As a newspaper reporter Samuel Clemens ruined two of his careers with his caustic sarcasm, and alienated many former friends and relatives. Changing his name to Mark Twain gave him a fresh start in the writing trade, and also recalled old times when all really was well.

April morning chapter 8 summary?
I hope this helps: On the walk home, Adam remembers a game he played as a child: it was called Pontiac and was a kind of dodgeball where the last boy standing in the circle became Pontiac and could claim a "scalp" from any of the others. Adam saw this as part of his childhood and surrendered the memory of it as he entered his house. Inside were neighbors and a great amount of food. Mother forces him to eat, complaining that he never eats enough - when before this day, she complained that he had a bottomless pit for a stomach. Adam ends up eating till he is well past full, and in the meanwhile Levi cleaned and polished his fowling piece. Ruth is present, and he has the urge to cry out to her that they're forcing him to grow up too quickly, that he doesn't want the same to happen to her. Mother asks Adam about where Father has been placed, then asks him to excuse her behavior for the next few days. She sends Adam back to the meetinghouse with candles, so Father won't lie in the dark. He protests that the Reverend has provided candles, but she insists it can be used later. Granny prepares the candles and gives instructions to Adam. Before he leaves, he notices Ruth is gone; when he goes outside, he finds her waiting for him. They sit down at the bench and kiss; she tells him how upset she was when she heard he had died and that she loves him a great deal. She added that she didn't want to be married at fifteen, and he asks her to walk to........
