Just for fun I tracked two primary documents. Vojtko's blade of grass, trapped under tape, still looks pretty good. Also, I dug up the actual letter from Working Mother, representing one of CLG's proudest moments.
Hey Steve, you wouldn't happen to still have the "primary document" for the "I'm starting a pirate radio station" blurb on page one of this issue do you?
ReplyDeleteYes, I do. It is in a very faded pencil. The full letter states: "Greetings, Sub Soup gave a pretty good review so I thought I'd check you out. I'll trade ya for a dollar. By the way I'm starting a pirate radio station can you give me some hints, clues, help, whatever? Thanx, April Edlin, 26500 Savage Circle, Howey, FL 34737." The envelope is postmarked Orlando FL 02 Feb 1993. This was my only piece of correspondence ever from April. Interesting question. Why do you ask?
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable! More in an email.
