ECC needs your help!!

[Tom Dickson]

HI, Bill!

   I live and work in southern Saskatchewan, Canada.  I am a subscriber of 
the PTG magazine, but not a member of PTG.  As a tuner, I find the magazine 
of great value, and for what it is worth, I would be more than happy to 
purchase one of the CD's when they come out.  What would my price be?

                                                      Sincerely,
                                                       Tom Dickson
