Ok, at this point I have to sheepishly correct myself -- or rather
Jeff and my wife, Missy have corrected me -- the message itself came
recently via Novercia, the phone conversation was evidently back in
December.

The message will be in the upcoming issue of "Little Light."  Jeff
wants it to appear there first and I think that's reasonable.  In the
mean time, if anyone would care to post a copy of the Winnepeg message
I can tell you whether it sounds at all similar to what I rememeber
from the Cleveland show.  Or perhaps I'll use my wife's memory just to
be safe.  I'm not sure why anyone would expect the messages _not_ to 
have a lot in common considering the similarity of the occaisions.

Yes, I have.  I'm glad you recognize that they have some legitimate
complaints.  Hopefully my next message will be able to clear up some
of the 'garbage'.
