I just received the Prairie Home Companion 10th Anniversary Trivia Quiz in the mail from KALW FM 91.7 San Francisco. Since many of you are probably not on your local public radio mailing list I have reproduced the text of the flyer and quiz below. I do not know many of the answers (not being very faithful), but I am willing to summerize any replies. Needless to say, hold off your replies to me or the net until May 20th, so the quiz isn't spoiled for anyone. - Greg Couch ucsfcgl!gregc@Berkeley.ARPA (arpanet) ucbvax!ucsfcgl!gregc (uucp) ------ This July, A Prairie Home Companion Celebrates its 10th anniversary of live broadcasts.
