[All] programs cut or cancelled by Ford

[Susan Koswan]

Thank you everyone for sending your lists. I have what I need now. This 
column will be in the Record on Thurs May 2 and I've included a write up 
of Our Water, Our Future.

Can I also ask that you add yours to this document so everyone can see 
and share it. And please make sure you include your link/media source.
