Doc, I owe you a big apology, I gave you a hard time a few months back when you announced your project. I was wrong. Good luck with your dream, it is a very worthwhile project and I salute your diligence in getting it launched.

Apology accepted.

Dream is a little heavy, it's more like a project. I've spent the better part of my life ignoring criticism which results in fairly thick skin.

The Kresge Foundation has funded the project, so my chief commitment is to this youth radio program and fufilling my promise to the youth in Southwest and Hamtramck.

If you know anybody who'd be interested, spread the word, my application deadline is January 20th.
