It might be a fully funded show, but if the PBS network loses federal 
support,there may be no network to carry it, even if in reruns. WWS 
reruns would be better than no St. Roy at all. Some of us may have 
learned all we can from his shows, but the next generation of Galoots 
still have much to learn from him.

FWIW
