Dear Belkys and Lynn: Help! We live in the small town of Starksboro, VT, population 1700 or so. We still have one of them old timey giant C-Band satellite dishes in our backyard. It brings us FOX TV via WSVN Miami. More importantly, it brings us DECO DRIVE, to which we have grown addicted. We have two feet of snow on the ground outside our windows: your little slice of south Florida life helps keep us warm at night. But now we hear that WSVN is leaving the big dish market. By March 1, bye bye Deco Drive. Even if we get a pizza dish, our FOX affiliate won't be WSVN -- it would be FOX 5 NYC, which lacks the professionalism to pull off anything like Deco Drive. Only you can help us, Belkys and Lynn: please use you considerable influence with WSVN station management to convince them to stay on the C-Band wavelength. Your Vermont viewers need their News Deco Style! Sincerely desperate, Wesley Wright and Vickie Backus 3731 Big Hollow Road Starksboro, VT 04587 802-434-6488We heard back:

Thanks ever so much for inquiring. Indeed, the Starksboro Tribute show of February 26 was our last ever Deco Drive. Now we will never know if Lynn talked Belkys into modeling a thong. We have immortalized the parting gift so we can watch it again and again with our neighbors and friends until they, too, pray that the show will end.
