Shows
with Dr. Peter Vincent Pry
 We
had a show scheduled with Dr. Pry on July 3, 2022. He spent many a
holiday with us discussing world events and history but the studio
was closed for the 4th of July and we didn't get the memo. I called
Dr. Pry and he said that he was ill and would get back to us to
reschule. He was never able to come back on with us and went on to
the great library in heaven on August 20, 2022. The world has
suffered a terrible loss from which it will never recover and our
show has lost the hub of our brain trust. God bless you and your
family, Dr. Pry and thank you for your incomporable contribution to
our world.
