Hello?
Rose?
Yes, sir?
Did they find out where my notes were?
Oh, yes, they found out he didn't have anything.
He didn't?
No, and he's sort of a kook, but you know what?
He's a grade 14 with the Internal Revenue Service.
And apparently, Arthur Godfrey called me and said, apparently he's sort of a, now he takes on anyone, you know, any name or something.
I guess his bosses or something.
Sounds to me like they ought to take him.
Yeah.
But I, you know, I knew, Rose, that there was nothing to it.
Because, you know, the reason I knew is that I have a very, I have a little procedure I follow on the plane.
I change coats.
put it in the briefcase, put it in the schedule, and go with that alone, because I know this could happen, you know.
And so I know he didn't have any, but I just thought maybe I made a mistake.
I thought maybe he had gotten a, you know, like a schedule card and was just trying to make it in, but he didn't have anything.
He didn't have anything to show them.
And he hasn't tried to make anything up.
I mean, he just made up the story.
