[Perform-talk] National Performing Arts agenda 2014

Mon May 26 14:28:37 UTC 2014

Good morning everyone,

    First be careful what you say about individuals on an open list. Second 
Mary and I will not be at this year's national convention so you'll need to 
find someone else. And since we feel that our time is valuable and we wish 
not to be dependent on the government or family members for financial 
support for the rest of our lives some compensation will be expected from 
now on. There's nothing idiotic about that! All the best.

Peter Donahue
