Hello.
Mr. President, I have Miss Cynthia Frank for you now.
Yes.
There you are.
Hello.
Hello.
Is this Cynthia?
Yes, it is.
Well, how are you?
Fine, thank you.
I was calling to tell you that one of your friends in Manchester, as a matter of fact, one of the readers of the paper, sent me a copy of your speech that you made, your valedictory speech, and I just thought it was great.
I want to congratulate you on first a fine speech, second on being the valedictorian of your class, and third on expressing sentiments about this country that we need to hear.
And I was so pleased to note that you got a big ovation at the end.
Everybody stood up.
Yes.
Tell me, I noticed that your father is not living.
No.
I see.
But your mother was there.
Do you have brothers and sisters?
Yes, I do.
I've got four brothers.
Four brothers, older, younger.
One's older and three are younger.
Three are younger.
Fine.
You going to college?
Yes, I'll be going to Smith.
You're going to Smith?
Yes.
Oh, well, I wish you well there.
One of my daughters went there.
Yes.
Julie did.
Well, that's just great.
Well, I wish you the best, and you just, when you get down to Smith, and you hear a lot of ideas expressed, but just keep to your high principles.
Thank you.
Okay, hon.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
