Winter means a whole new slew of fashion "dos" and "don'ts" in the New York City. We need your keen eye here! And a live broadcast at Town Hall Theater will tide us over till Tanglewood...

Happy 25th anniversary from your husband - here's looking forward to at least 25 more!

To: Pam and Ken Andreason of Minnetonka, MI
Hi GK and the PHC Team, we continue to love PHC having discovered it on Public Radio whilst living in Ann Arbor, MI in 1980-81 tho now we can only get it via the internet since some supposedly wise person took it off public radio in Australia, a few years ago. We've recently seen the PHC movie which was just great, and at long last can feel that we've seen what a real PHC show is like - tho we still hope to one day get back to Minneapolis and see PHC live. A big hello to our dear friends Pam and Ken Andreason of Minnetonka, Minneapolis - and when are you guys coming back to Australia for a vist (It's your turn you know!). Phillip and Shurlee Swain PS. What about PHC doing a live tour of Australia - we will guarantee you at least two ticket sales if you come to our home state!
—Phillip & Shurlee SWAIN
