PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, NOVEMBER 8, 1982
PAGE 7
It was certainly the most interesting and inspiring Feast my wife and I had
observed in many, many years!
We at Headquarters pray for all of you ministers and your wives daily, and
are always encouraged to know that you continue to remember God's apostle
and all of us at Pasadena in your prayers.
--Raymond F. McNair, Deputy Chancellor

Of the three million pieces received, about one-fifth (610,000) was from
members and coworkers; another fifth represented PLAIN TRUTH renewals.
Approximately 517,000 pieces of "media" mail were also received (responses
from radio, TV, PLAIN TRUTH, GOOD NEWS, CORRESPONDENCE COURSE and newsÂ
stands).
In addition to the mail received, 384,000 calls for literature were also
taken over the WATS lines.
The projected responses to Mr. Armstrong's semiannual letter and several
large PLAIN TRUTH renewals (now being mailed out) are expected to make 1982
the all-time record year for incoming mail.
