CHICAGO–Thank you for Alan G. Artner’s incisive analysis of WFMT.
I have been listening to the station since its inception in 1946 and have been a steadfast supporter. One of my old radios once was dropped, and stopped at the WFMT station. The only one I have been listening to. In the last year, without being aware of it, I have been “listening” to specific programs on WNIB, specifically, the 11 p.m. NPR broadcasts, as well as other programs. I had not been aware ‘FMT was no longer my station, just attributed it to getting “older” and less interested. Now I know that it is not me, but the station, and realize what I have been missing. Thanks again.

REMEMBER PASSWORDS
BARRINGTON–I use passwords that are important people and events to me. I love music. Therefore I use famous composers and their birth years as reminders. I associate the information I want to access with some tune or other of the greats: Chopin, Beethoven, Bach and Brahms — all have their place in my cyberspace and remind me how much better their place is than my cyberspace and I am comforted and have yet to forget a password.

CARTOON SALUTE
HOMEWOOD–I just wanted to send you my thanks for publishing my “Peanuts Tribute” cartoon in honor of the retirement, and unfortunately, the passing of Charles M. Schulz. I can never truly express my gratitude for choosing my cartoon as one of those that was published, as I thought they were all great.
When I opened up the Tribune on Friday, Feb. 11, I was shocked to see my cartoon allowing Charlie Brown to finally kick the football, but also delighted.
It meant so much to me, as it has also been my lifelong dream to be a cartoonist, and maybe someday, I will be. I thought you did a wonderful tribute to Mr. Schulz, and I thought it was very sad that he passed away the same weekend his final “Peanuts” cartoon was published.
The printing of my tribute cartoon gave me, my family and friends great joy.
