Hi Ivan , Hilary, and all, In a message dated 11/8/98 10:57:05 PM, Hilary Blue wrote: <<BArbara, Im not at my normal address, so I cant access the list. However, I have just spoken to Ivan, and he wanted me to speak to you on his behalf, as he is too tired himself right now. He very much likes your idea of an appeal on the radio. But he feels totally overwhelmed by the situation, and also is totally exhausted. So he asks if you could make the appeal for him through your radio station. Is that possible? Thanks for caring. Hilary Blue >> Hilary and Ivan, NFCB stations are not on a network (i.e. CBS, NPR), so I don't know what the possibility is that KKFI staff of 1 paid and 100 volunteers can help. However, I sent a copy of Ivan's email to them yesterday afternoon hoping that either through their contacts in community radio and/or their contacts nationally in programming by and for the gay community, that some kind of story/appeal could be done. My suggestion is to email or call WMPG in Portland and see if they are willing to broadcast an apeal, or if they have any further suggestions. If Ivan is too tired to do it, perhaps you Hilary could contact them. The email address I found for WMPG is [log in to unmask] Will let you know if I hear of any other possibilities.
