    TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN ???
    
    	AS A NEW COMER TO THIS SERVICE I WAS AMAZED AND DELIGHTED TO LEARN
    OF THE MPFC CONFERENCE, AND EVEN MORE DELIGHTED TO FIND THIS LITTLE BIT
    OF HEAVEN. 
    	BEING ONLY 20 YEARS OLD I UNFORTUNATLY MISSED THE GOON SHOW ERA.
    BUT MY EARLIEST MEMORIES ARE OF MY FATHERS ECCLES IMPRESSION. THROUGH
    OUT MY EARLY YEARS I WAS SUBMITTED TO MANY CALLS OF "HE'S FALLEN IN THE
    WATER" AND OTHER WELL KNOW PHRASES, SUBSEQUENTLY I WAS ALWAYS LOOKED
    UPON WITH A QURIOUS EYE AT SCHOOL.
    	MY GOON EDUCATION WAS MOULDED AND FINALLY COMPLETED WHEN MY FATHER
    BOUGHT ALL THE BBC TAPES AVAILABLE OF THE GOONS, NOT TO MENTION OTHER
    RADIO FAVOURITES LIKE "THE NAVY LARK", "HANCKOCKS HALF HOUR", AND MANY
    MORE. FURTHER TO THE TAPES MY FATHER ALSO HAD TWO, YES TWO, BOOKS OF
    SCRIPTS, A RECORD OF VARIOUS SKETCHES AND ALSO A VIDEO OF THE LAST GOON
    SHOW EVER. A SAD NOTE TO THE TALE IS THAT MY FATHER DIED OF CANCER TWO
    YEARS AGO, LEAVING ME HIS ENTIRE COLLECTION OF GOON SHOW STUFF. AND I
    AM ALWAYS REMINDED OF HIM WHEN EVER I LISTEN TO THE TAPES, OR READ THE
    BOOKS. ISN'T IT FUNNY WHAT GOOD COMEDY CAN DO !
    
    	LOOK FORWARD TO READING MORE STUFF ON THE GOONS AND MPFC.

    What's your address so I can cunningly guard your hoard?
    
    Actually your're a bit late for this conference, it's almost deceased.
    I can't remember us getting into the goons here, but it's never to late
    to start, mate.
