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
