Don't know Will Pruitt at all. I met Marlene at last year's Chili Cook-off during the torrential downpour -- is that redundant? -- and was highly impressed. Firstly, she was friendly and quite personable. I got to know a bit about her and am really in awe of the volunteer work she's done since her "retirement". She helps with a variety of organizations and schools but is most involved with "Take Stock in Children," a group that does hands-on work with troubled kids, trying to help keep them in school. Sooo, unless I find out Will is the second coming of Mother Theresa, I'll likely be voting for Marlene.
