Hi Friends.
We have a dish antenna and thus have the capability to monitor TV programs,
newscasts, etc. nationwide.  My wife, who watches a lot more TV than I, has a
VCR cassette "on the ready" to catch any programming on honey bees that might
come unannounced. And, it so happened that the day when the "promotional"
announcement was made from New York City, she recorded the Ad in which, point
of contact, newsmen names, phone numbers, and Internet addresses were given.
Naturally, I was interested, and proceeded immediately to attempt to make
contact with the names, phone numbers and addresses given.  Guess what, no one
would answer.  Simultaneously, I sent a fax to General Mills in St. Paul
Minnesota, you guessed no reply. Next, I wrote a letter to the Generals Mills
CEO in Minnesota and did not receive the slightest form of reply.  About three
weeks later, I wrote a second letter and was informed that the Company never
received my fax (but my records in my machine says that they did!). Instead, I
received general information literature about General Mills.  Subsequently, I
found at the AFB Convention in Norfolk, VA that the promotion was subject to
receipts from sales.  I had suspected all along,  and I still hold the same
suspicion: it was a well thought campaign to promote honey coated cereal!!!!!!
End of my interest for that announcement.
Best regards.
