Hello.
Yes, sir.
Hi, Larry.
Hi.
Any further report?
Yes, sir.
I wanted to complete it before I got here.
I talked to Terry and absolutely nothing there.
I'm over here now.
I have a complete one for you in about five minutes.
All right.
Let me say I checked rows and music is not a thing except one brief little page, which...
I'd given her one time, which has nothing to do with this.
It simply indicates that I expressed concern about why I couldn't go out or somebody get out some of the activities of their demonstrations against us.
Sure.
You know?
Oh, yeah.
That's the only thing we had at it.
But anyway, so I'm delighted with that.
But I don't think you're going to find anything over there.
I'm sure I won't either, but it's worth it to be.
Keep at it.
Sure.
I've got to get to Clementi's and then I'll call you in 15 minutes.
Good.
Bye.
Bye.
