Hello?
Daddy, hi.
Julie, you home?
Yeah, no, I'm still in Phoenix, but I'm coming back tomorrow morning.
Oh, good.
Well, I just want to say hello and tell them that everything, all your programs, everybody's just delighted with them.
Oh, great.
Great mail and everything.
Mommy said that you were going out on the boat tonight.
I went out with General Hague.
I had a few things to do.
Was it terribly hot, Daddy?
No, no, it was great.
Really?
With the boat moving, you see, no problem.
Oh, I'll tell you, it's so hot up here.
Yeah, I know.
It's hot here, too, but, you know, if you're out on the water, it's no problem.
All right.
But did Mommy tell you how the whole audience at that show was for you?
All the people who called in?
Yes.
Yeah.
It was really something.
You mean the show what?
Well, when I did the TV interview, they had a live audience, and the whole audience was for you.
Great.
Out in Ohio?
Out in Dayton, Ohio.
Great.
And, Daddy, you want to hear something really cute?
Yeah.
There was this woman there, and she didn't know I was going to be on the show.
The members of her club had raised $50 and sent it to you with a note saying they wanted the president to go out and buy something to make him happy.
Isn't that nice?
I think it's the sweetest story I've ever heard.
Isn't that nice?
Well, great.
Well, today's Trisha's anniversary.
Yep, I called her.
Two years.
Right.
Want something?
I bet.
Well, I'm glad that we'll see you tomorrow night.
See you tomorrow night at 9.30.
Great.
All right.
Keep calling.
