Benita Budd: My dear Ms. Toad, sorry you didn’t win the mattress. I am sure it was an oversight.

Dad, Pop, and I want to say hello from the Men's NCAA Frozen Four here in St. Louis. You wouldn't like the Gateway Arch too much because I think the elevators that send you to the top were made for oompa-loompas with thick skulls and quality deoderant.

Hi to all at The Prairie home Companion Show. I listen on line and have been through the archives to hear nearly all of the shows of the past since discovering your program just a few months ago. It is very nice to hear about the ordinary Americans who just get on with their lives, just like most of us here in Australia. Best wishes to you all from Barbara Ann Molenda Thanks for a nice program. Greetings from Melbourne Australia
