Gee Larry, we wont be asking you to start a fan club for this poor woman...
Ill check out the report on the re-broadcast....
I emailed Undercurrents and they said:
Hi Claude,
Thanks for your email. It is too bad we did not interview you - the show
will be
rebroadcast this Saturday on Newsworld so we hope you catch it. Thanks
again -
feedback is always welcome.
Whatever that means...Gee TV is great, I love the fact there are less and
less people sitting in front of the TV these days...anything else I guess is
more productive then watching TV...
