Subject: C.P. telethon

Bob,

I wonder if you could ask your friends on Mobility a question for me: Where
did the C.P. New York telethon go? I think 1998 was the last telethon here.

After 1996, it was a local 8-hour telethon (it was a 22-hour national
telethon at one time). Dennis James, the main host, died in 1997. And
Florence Henderson hosted the very last telethon, along with James' son, Brad?

The thing I want to know is: How is C.P. making their money now?

I was just talking to someone from our local UCP affiliate about the telethon.  Locally here in Fresno California the telethon was only 4 hours long.  Sort of a mini telethon.  The problem seems to be that the television stations are not as willing to donate the air time as they used to be.
