WICHITA FALLS, IN THE TEXAS MARKET DURING THE 530 PM TIME SLOT.  THATS
BETWEEN THE EARLY LOCAL NEWS AND ABC NETWORK NEWS.  I GUESS WE GOT SOME
PRIME TIME FOR IT.  SUPPORT ALSO CAME FROM MANY CLUBS WHO QUICKLY SENT OUT
WORD TO THEIR MEMBERS AND FROM OTHERS ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY WHO STARTED
CREATIVE ACTIVITIES IN ORDER TO GATHER TOYS.  FOR EXAMPLE, DR FRANK VESCI,
W1NK, A CHIROPRACTIC PHYSICIAN IN CONNECTICUT, OFFERED FREE EVALUATIONS TO
ANY PATIENTS WHO BROUGHT A TOY WITH THEM FOR THEIR APPOINTMENT.  MEANWHILE,
JOE GUVMAN, KB1DVG, AT A MEINEKE SHOP ENCOURAGED HIS CUSTOMERS TO BRING
TOYS INTO HIS SHOP.  THERE WAS A SPECIAL COLLECTION AT THE GEORGIA STATE
ARRL CONVENTION AND THERE WERE BOXES AT MANY LARGE HAMFESTS SUCH AS STONE
MOUNTAIN.  CLUBS HELD COLLECTIONS AT MEETINGS AND LOCAL DRIVES.  FOUR BOXES
OF TOYS EVEN ARRIVED FROM WX4NHC THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER.  PERSONAL
NOTES FROM KL7 KIDS IN THE FOLLOWING WEEKS, TOYS ARRIVED DAILY AS DONATIONS
FROM PLACES AS DIVERSE AS TEXAS, VERMONT AND ALASKA FLOWED IN.  PALMER
