Thank you Steph for the memories. How I LOVED each and every issue of Pipeline…it really got to the Heart of B & B. Thanks a million for all the lives you touched and for your part in promoting our beloved shows. [1]
This is a wonderful gift to fandom all over again! Thank you!!}[2]
Yes Steph, Pipeline was the best and helped all of us connect. The ripples of your kindness grow wider still and we still remember the friendships, kindness and love.[3]
Your name is right up there on top, along with names of the original cast, writers, directors and promoters. Thanks again, Steph![4]
Oh this looks amazing! I often forget how easy and accessible TV show articles, interviews, and photos are today, that to have this kind of material finally online is such a treasure! [5]
Before the Internet made sharing information about B&B easy and instantaneous, fans like Steff Wiltse produced newsletters and infozines and such to keep fans informed - distributed via the trusty Post Office. Steff's publication, "Pipeline," was one of the most influential and longest-lasting of these publications. [6]

Steff thank you so much for keeping the dream alive for all the fans, new and old!– we all appreciate your support.[7]
I recently acquired a copy of Pipelines (April/May 1990 – Vol III, No. 4/5) and am finding it fascinating on so many levels. I love your site and have read all the entries with great interest. So I have a question. Would you have any objection to me scanning the issue I have and posting it in my online museum (The Treasure Chambers) as a pdf? It’s a remarkable piece of B&B history. Even the ads make interesting reading. I’d love to see more of these made available to fans – and am willing to do the work to make that happen. And of course, I’d be happy to share them with you. As you will know if you visit my Museum, the Museum Project has gathered a lot of articles and other fan material. I’m keen to keep adding to the collection.
If I can help, please let me know.
- Thank you, Angie, I had no idea what a time capsule Pipeline would become. Then again it was born into ‘interesting times.’ Scan away, I’ve been meaning to do the same myself but my new scanner has had too much of a backlog to oblige. Your Treasure Chamber is indeed a treasure you know, one that on occasion saved me considerable time and effort unpacking boxes to look for just the right photo for this blog. Experience has a way of becoming fossilized if it does not continue to be remembered and loved. Your curating has brought together an invaluable resource – a record of both the creative achievement of “B&B” as well as the community that formed around it. It’s a worthy stand-in for living memory (which has a habit of not being around forever). ‘Twould be a privilege and honor to have Pipeline displayed in your Chambers. [8]
