- To All.....
-
- I guess Bill Powers' recent post suggests we need each other
- regardless of what we're doing. I guess it is this recognition and
- respect for what each person does that is the strength of our CSG.
- Recently, I've received news which I wish to share with you.
-
- The NASPA (National Systems Programmers Association) News ran a
- review of my book, Freedom From Stress. Have had some sales as a
- result. The reason was a local (Phoenix) programmer, Jim "JD"
- Drechsler, with American Express who has been promoting PCT and has
- gotten a lot of his peers excited about the ideas. He has spoken
- at several of their conferences and was recently elected to their
- national board.
-
- The second is with regards to my TV program produced earlier this
- year by the local PBS station, KAET-TV. They've aired it three
- times and plan another airing in March. The first half of the
- program is dedicated (a lot) to explaining PCT. I just learned
- from the station's program manager that he presented my program for
- possible use by other stations at the annual conference of PBS
- stations in November. Apparently, 32 PBS-TV stations throughout
- the country expressed a desire for copies of the program to show in
- their own areas, which included Boston, Washington(CD), and Dallas,
- three of the nine largest viewing areas for PBS. Others areas
- include Denver, Atlanta, Indianapolis, plus San Jose, San Mateo and
- Huntington Beech in California, and Tallahassee and Daytona Beech
- in Florida, and so forth. March would probably be the next time
- stations have their promotions and would use this show, which is
- designed for such use.
-
- May all of you have a holy and joyful holiday season. Ed
