GREETINGS from Headquarters: I'm hoping to spend the next _several
days working on my new book: am making good progress, with perhaps
one-fourth to one-third in rough-draft copy.
My wife and I had opportunity yesterday (Sunday, 26th) to spend
several hours with my father again. My sister, Mrs. Dorothy Mattson,
had been wanting to go along the next time I went over to Tucson, so
pictures could be taken with my father, his daughter, her daughter,
and her daughter---meaning Mrs. Mattson, her daughter Ginger, and
her new daughter (4 mo's), Dianne---four living generations! Also
along for the visit were Mr. Vern Mattson, and Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin
Chapman.
My father seemed in good spirits and was once again looking forward
to another visit soon from another group of the sabbatical ministers.
I spent about an hour on the telephone with him on Sabbath morning,
discussing many aspects of the Work, and his desire-to see our
Wonderful World Tomorrow booklet updated and offered to the public
once more, and briefed him on our special Sabbath s�rvices here
(about 6,000 attended in the Civic/Exhibition Hall, and approxi-
.,-;
mately 3,000 came to the dance that ev � ning).
Just hung up the phone after talking with Dick Janik about media.
He is enthusiastic about presenting me with the plans for our new
"Pacific Coast Network" of stations! He says it may well include
some good 50,000 watters in the Bay Area or elsewhere, and hopes we
can have the telephone lines installed, contracts written, and begin
broadcasting no later than within the next three weeks! I have been
making some 30-minute programs in advance so I can have fresh broad
casts ready in the event of required absences from Pasadena.
My schedule is understandably hectic for these next few months: I
have committed myself to at least one special Sabbath service per
month; Adlai Muhtadi will be in town soon to report on his findings
concerning a proposed TV shoot, using the pod, in Saudi Arabia (he
hopes the Arabian government will defray most costs!); I hope to
get to England, Europe, and the Mideast before too late into the
summer months---etc., etc., and of course I face DAILY radio and
keeping up with weekly TV! Somehow, it seems we're always behind.
My father sends his personal greetings to all of you. He is eagerly
looking forward to resuming his activities when God makes possible
by giving him additional strength---! know you're all praying for him,
and thank you for that! I gave approvals for some exciting new
C)
developments in media last Friday, which I am listing here:
