Mr. Smith, your honour, Sir!
I'm glad I tried the internet to find you! I've missed your show
on WTTW
Chicago for a long time! I taped the Cooking With Wine series,
and I'll
always enjoy your programme on coffee. I play that episode over
and over. I
love the story of Mullah and the sheep. I enjoyed your field
trip to
Stewarts Coffee Chicago. I understand PBS took the programme
off the air. A
real shame. Your show was one of the trademark WTTW productions
ever made!
I studied television, film and video at Columbia College in Chicago.
Your
show inspired me to get into the industry. One of my instructors
was Ray
Meinke - one of your cameramen on the show!
I'm glad to see you are on the web, and wish you much luck in your future
endeavors. May God bless you and your family. You are a
true Chicago
treasure that will be cherished for generations to come.
As another well-known PBS icon would say, "Keep your stick on the ice!".
