Here it is. just what you've been eagerly champing at the bit to read. All
complaints will be duly noted and ignored. If the items are not interesting
or informative then you probably haven't told me what you've been doing! Now
to the business at hand for this week:

The Mr. Gorey Halloween promotion was very successful with Big V. He went to
Greenfield and Grand River and there were 400 kids waiting for him. Similar
conditions were encountered in Livonia and Royal Oak. 125 Oldies But Goodies
albums were given away.
Visitors to the Station Mr. Chuck Buchanan and his two children. This visit
was of as much interest to Mr. Buchanan as to the kids because he is
building a campus radio station for Henry Ford Community College and Jerry
Martin and Frank Maruca are assisting in the work in a consultant capacity.

Cincinnati. Best wishes from the KeeNer gang.

ability to read road maps, follow instructions to the letter, and driving
skills.
