| 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 will 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, and 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. |
