URGENT NOTE: If you get an email from this address -- jeaniee.wkar.gmail.com -- it is NOT from ME. And, you might get an email from Familie Barwitski (Viola). After I answered what I thought was Viola's email, another blogger received the same email but from me (with an incorrect address, as above). Just beware. In your email, block and delete it. My apologies. Onward to the post!
I always love it when I'm reading blogs and someone says they have been watching a show on PBS that I have been enjoying too. I even get a kick out of it when someone speaks of something on the network that might not be my favorite but that matters to them. Now is the time you might want to share that same thought with your US Representatives and Senators.
You may have seen the article in the April 14 New York Times headed "White House Asks Congress to Claw Back Funding from NPR and PBS." Longtime Gypsy readers know that for 32 years I worked for our local public broadcasting stations, first for television only, then also TV and radio. It was truly a privilege to go to work each day for an organization that I was happy to support, whose services I personally used and valued. I am still a PBS/NPR supporter, viewer and listener.
