[0:00] Yes, sir.
[0:02] Mr. Wiggins.
[0:03] Thank you, Mr. President.
[0:06] Ready.
[0:07] Chuck.
[0:07] Yes, sir, Mr. President.
[0:08] Well, as your old neighbor and so forth, I want you to know that Pat and I were deeply distressed to learn about your wife.
[0:16] I didn't know that actually that she'd been sick.
[0:19] Yes, she had been suffering from this condition for about four years.
[0:23] About four years.
[0:24] You see, we have...
[0:27] Yeah, we, of course, have seen you around and so forth, and I just haven't kept track of the family as well as I should.
[0:32] Well, it's a sad thing.
[0:34] Right.
[0:35] Well, I suppose under the circumstances, it's just, well, you know, we have to never think of this, but it's well that it's now over.
[0:42] Yes, it is.
[0:43] Because she must have had a terrible problem in that period of time.
[0:46] Well, we're the family, my two boys and I, and her mother is here flying up.
[0:50] Right, right.
[0:52] And the services will be on Tuesday and Wednesday here at Rose Hill.
[0:56] Rose Hills, right.
[0:57] That ought to be familiar to you, sir.
[0:59] Yes, yes, my mother and my father and two brothers.
[1:01] Oh, is that so?
[1:02] Yep, all at Rose Hills.
[1:05] And Pat's father there is, too.
[1:06] I got it.
[1:09] Well, anyway, Chuck, we wish you well, and you express your two boys to our sympathy.
[1:17] Okay.
[1:18] I most appreciate your call.
[1:20] Bye, Chuck.
[1:21] Thank you.
[1:22] Bye.
