Public Relations Trip

by Virginia

My appearance on the Alan Burke show in N.Y. March 2 was a big success in more ways than one. Susanna has given a listeners opinion in her column so I wont dwell on that. But the other form of suc- cess was in the mail response. There have been well over 100 letters of inquiry for the leaflet, price list etc. mentioning the fact that they had heard the program. Interestingly enough a fair number of the letters were from GGs of one kind or another at least one from a woman who indicated a willingness to learn because of a "relative" and perhaps understanding might result and bring a measure of happiness where there had been none for years. I take this "relative" to be son or husband and if happiness can result from this introduction to the subject it will be wonderful.
