Overall I hope there are a few you'll want to try. Don't forget to make note of a few for Easter '88.

I'm sure you noticed our new heading which includes WMT's new logo. You will soon be seeing this on all of our printed materials. news cars, Ambassador, and ads. Even though our look has changed, we hope to remain . . . Unforgettable!

Dave and I are planning some special things for Open Line during the 65th Anniversary Celebration broadcast from Pioneer Village in Cedar Rapids on August 1. Stay with us for details, and we hope to see as many of you there as possible.
