<p class="MsoNormal">you more than likely will get yourself into trouble. Stay safe and get well soon. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too. Unfortunately, I won’t be at the SBE Christmas Party this year. When you’re better Jim, I’d like to
hear about your latest Broadcast adventures. Last time I was a VETCO, I recall seeing the long wire on the roof, but I also recall the guy behind the counter saying he didn’t know anything about your station!</p>
