On The Move Again

Some readers have doubtless chalked up some more points against me because I didn't live up to what I said in the letter that went to you with TVia 57. In that letter I explained the foul up that had occurred while I was in Europe so that instead of No. 57 being done in August as planned before I left it didn't get printed and thus couldn't be mailed until sometime in October. I also said that I would try to do one a month in November and December and try to get caught up for 1970.

These plans were knocked out when about the middle of November I get a long distance call from a TV station (television that is) back east that wanted me to come back and do a show for them and two others. The long and short of it was that I had to drop everything and arrange the trip from the point of view of dates here and there, air connections, hotels, meetings with various groups in various cities, etc. This takes up loads of time with many letters, etc. trying to tie it all together. Naturally I couldn't get much done on my catch-up plans though I did get the raw material for 59 into the new printer's hands before I left Dec. 1. He promised to have the brown line proof copy waiting for me in Detroit. Well, he didn't and so that couldn't get going till I got back Dec. 20. Further delays with the bindery etc. put it off till Jan. 21 when it finally went out. So the best laid plans of mice, men and Virginia gang aft agley again. I'll try to shorten the time between issues till I catch up but it's kind of hard to do. So bear with me some more. I just can't be a stay-at-home editer and a traveling crusader at the same time.

Anyway I left L.A. on Dec. 1 and flew to St. Louis where I was met by Florence (Order of the Squirrel 1st class) and her great GG wife and
