I did not notice you were let go from HSN until I heard about it on the QVC forum. I checked to see your photo and I didn’t see it. Sorry to see you leave. Had no idea you were Cuban, but I should have known from the last name. Anyway, wishing you continued success,
Lesley,
I noticed I hadn’t seen you on air in a few weeks and was hoping you were on vacation and would be back soon. This is sad to learn that you were part of the hosts that were let go. You are so down to earth, and one of my favorites. May you find sweet success in your next endeavor!!
