What stipulation did Les Feldick make when he was first invited to do the TV program in Tulsa?
When first invited by the Tulsa station, he stipulated that he would not come up in a suit and tie. At a breakfast meeting with Iris present, he made this a condition. The station agreed, telling him he did not have to. He has kept that informal style ever since.
Les explains that when he and Iris first went to Tulsa after being invited by that particular station, they sat down at a breakfast meeting in town. One of the things he stipulated there was, "I will not come up here in a suit and tie." The station responded, "Well, that's all right. You don't have to." Les says this proved a point, and their audience is in full agreement that his kind of teaching does not demand a suit and tie. He stresses that the program is informal, not backed by anybody, and not underwritten; they pay their television bills strictly with money from their listening audience.
