Rick — You are AWESOME!
We are so grateful for your wonderful programs, your insight, your enthusiasm, your dedication...you symbolize all that's right and relevant about Public Broadcasting.
Saturday was nearly $140,000...Sunday's repeat another $60,000. A stellar way for KQED to start fiscal year 2007!
Very best regards,

Dear Rick and your film crew,
So thank you for the programming you've provided over the years. Watching you on the KQED pledge drive, I realized I needed to do something with my pledge to acknowledge how good your work is, and I wanted you to know that. What you had to say about PBS is pretty much the same as what I have to say about it. I wouldn't want to live without it. It's not that I don't watch commercial TV. I do watch it. But when you have a brain and a heart, when you love fine art, good cooking, travel, classical music, opera, well-produced adaptations of acclaimed works of fiction, British sitcoms and dramas, programs that explore science, museums, antiques, and a whole bunch of other things that commercial TV largely ignores, PBS is valuable. Too bad the government keeps cutting what funding it gives to PBS, but we the people can make the difference.
