Yeah.
Mr. President?
Yeah.
I have located Don Smith in the Veterans Center down in Dublin.
All right.
There's the President.
Hello?
Hello, Mr. Smith?
Well, I've just been reading about you in my weekly reports from around the country, and I first want to congratulate you for being selected by the National Junior Chamber of Commerce for one of the
Georgia's Outstanding Young Men of the Year.
But second, for the really remarkable achievement you certainly can be very proud of, and the example you set for others.
I mean, the fact that you continue your efforts with that little league team and so forth really must inspire those youngsters, and it inspires a lot of us older people, too.
Sure.
Well, you had a rough time, and the main thing is that you just can't get discouraged, because I'm sure you won't.
That's right, and you can be sure a lot of us are all behind you, and you tell those kids to just get out with half the heart you've got, and they're going to do okay, all right?
And good luck to you now.
Goodbye.
