[0:04] Hello.
[0:04] Hello, Billy.
[0:05] You still in Puerto Rico?
[0:07] No, sir.
[0:07] I'm at Caneo Bay now in the Virgin Islands.
[0:10] Oh, say, my golly, you are a hard fellow to keep up with.
[0:12] How are you?
[0:13] I'm just fine, and I got your message from yesterday, and Pat got back, and she looked great after her long journey, and I...
[0:25] Hello.
[0:26] Hello.

[0:59] Yeah, and we had a very, very good... Actually, you know, she got a great reception in Liberia and the other places, too, I understand.
[1:09] The show has worked out fine.
[1:11] Well, it was really wonderful, and I deeply appreciate you letting me go.
[1:17] Well, I would just think it's a little hard on you, but we appreciate it.
[1:20] It was great.
[1:21] I had a great time with her and with her staff.
[1:24] I'm going to.
[1:25] We're checking out to see whether Talbert is coming to the prayer breakfast or wants to, and if he does, I'll give a dinner for him while he's here.
[1:32] So that would be a way to return it, you see.
[1:34] Well, I think so.
[1:36] He's very interested in that, as I understand.
[1:39] He talked to her about coming to the prayer breakfast on February the 1st.
[1:44] Well, I think... Hello?
[1:50] Hello?
[1:52] It's Keneal Bay, and it's off, I think.
