As announced in the February 8th letter to Members and Co-Workers,
the year 1981 is starting out with the final lunge forward and increased
burst of speed as we come in on the final home stretch FINISHING GOD'S

local channel 11. It was the first of the new series of TV programs.
Prior to that program we had eight of the new programs recorded in ad
