He was down\na few weeks ago and left with me a lot of information about these\nstations, which I am enclosing. If you know anyone who is\ninterested, who is a friend of ours, let's put them together with\nNorman Knight. I have no interest in this other than it would always\nbe nice to have these kinds of stations in the hands of friends.\nKnight is apparently desperate for cash and a hard deal could\npresumably be made.\nLet me know if you have any interest in pursuing this further and\nif so, I will have Knight come in and see you.\nCharles W.
