[Imc-radio] Radio Infusion - some forum info

[Danielle Chynoweth]

Tracy Parsons is president of the Urban League.  For interviews, I suggest 
Carol or Aron Amons (sp?).  They live on N. Coler in Urbana.

I will get a list of interviewees to Ondine.

I thought it was settled that Paul Kotheimer would upload each week - is 
this true Paul?

Thank you thank you Sandra for carrying the ball on this one.  I am out of 
town through July 4th.  I just showed "Media in Time of War" by Rochester 
Indymedia at the Gesundheit Institute to folks in their early twenties 
many of whom were hearing this side of the war story for the first time. 
Patch/Gesundheit gave us a copy of "Clowing in Kabul" for our IMC library 
and public access station.

peace out,
danielle
