| Greetings to you again from the kingdom of Nye. | |
| While all the difficulties that caused me to so unexpectedly and quickly leave the air have not been resolved yet, they remain as grave as any family would ever face, the situation has improved to some degree and I pray it'll continue to do that. | |
| I will not further exacerbate the crisis by making public what should remain private. | |
| In my position I trust you do no less Should the matter, however, become public despite my best efforts, I will have, believe me, a very great deal to say about it. | |
| To again, state as categorically as I'm able, this was not any kind of hoax or stunt. | |
| It was not a contract ploy nor a negotiation tactic for more money. | |
| Money has never been a goal for me in doing this program, never. | |
| Not so much as one dot on an I or cross on a T has changed in my contract. | |
| This was and is a family crisis, period. | |
| My network has been nothing but helpful and supportive, and there are too many people to thank individually, including all of you. | |
| Thank you. | |
| My sincere thanks to Hilly Rose for keeping the live forum going during all this on, I might add, very short notice. | |
| So, I'm very happy to report I will return to Coast to Coast AM and Dreamland beginning Wednesday night, October 28th. |
