I received this note from Linda Godfrey (writer for the Walworth County Week) who did a wonderful job on the Chump Change story.

Linda,
Thank you very much for the wonderful story. You are a very talented journalist, and I am honored that you took the time to write so much. I appreciate your support and interest.
Hope to meet you,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked the story. I thought the staff did a nice job laying it out with your photos. As I told the editor, I wish we had planned it differently and come to meet you and done a more extensive interview, but I think it still turned out pretty well, too.

Just got back from a week in Las Vegas but didn't see any competing polka bands there.

I hope I get a chance to meet you in person, too, and perhaps get yourautograph now that you are a movie star, and hear your band as well. Hope the rest of Hollywood soon comes a-knockin' at your door.

Linda Godfrey (Walworth County Week)
