Understand you have dropped New Yankee Work Shop.

Since all you seem to do on weekends is beg anyway, no wonder you
don't have time for this program.

BTW, I am totally opposed to your present policy of begging and will
NEVER give you money.

You are public television, that means support from the public, not
private, purse, IMHO.

You are faced with a heritage that R Regan has placed on public
television
executives, one I do not support.

You need money, obviously, so hire a lobbyist like everybody else.

Quit wasting my time begging at the local level.

If you decide to air NYW, let me know.

Till then, have no need to watch KCET except for Howser.

He is addictive.

As a committee of one, hope this message has some impact.

Regards,

Lew
