[0:54] And also,
[1:19] to find out the differences between the two candidates were so clear and so great they didn't need a new debate.
[1:42] They did not need a debate to find them out.
[1:43] And that he should also find out that they didn't.
[1:44] I spent a little bit of time in 1964, and in the presidency, my views perhaps changed.
[1:46] The fact that there were U.S. and international negotiations
[1:48] Hello?
[2:13] Yeah.
[2:13] Yeah.
[2:17] No, I'll tell you, just let it go.
[2:40] You can say that it is convenient any time today.
[2:41] You can call me, but it's not urgent.
[2:42] That is convenience.
[2:42] Very nice.
[2:42] Thank you.
[2:44] which the minister reminded me was actually a church and was there before the temple was built.
[3:07] It's a beautiful room.
[3:08] It's just right.
[3:08] So I told the minister, no worries.
[3:09] And since she came in late and could not have a price, they dressed me for her.
[3:11] She wore her own clothes, but they fitted perfectly.
[3:12] So they honored us on robes and wear the same clothes.
[3:13] dresses the bridesmaid in any event.
[3:38] I was impressed by the two of the grooms, two of the twins, and Rebecca's cousins, and I said that they had seen this in our California home.
[3:41] One of them asked her and saw her looking.
[3:42] She had remembered the time that he had
[3:43] I got the rug, the white rug in our house in Truesdale, soiled it, because you have to shine the shoes before coming over.
[4:07] And there's some of the shoes shining more over the rug.
[4:08] So I went down and asked them, and I took that picture with Richard, and started to stop there.
[4:10] And of course, I said, well, I'm going to comment at the wedding about it, and took it.
[4:13] I tried to keep the announcement as low key as possible on our part so that anyone would make the most of its response.
[4:37] I like the idea that the city was going to campaign to judge states to pay money for credit.
[4:39] I'm sorry, I didn't answer any of your personal questions earlier in the presentation.
[4:43] We had pictures taken for the Life magazine.
[5:08] Covered in a hat.
[5:08] He had seen Bobby Fischer.
[5:09] He was a supporter of ours.
[5:09] He said Bobby was actually a very nice man.
[5:10] He was extremely quiet and introverted.
[5:11] He had a very poor family.
[5:11] His mother was dead.
[5:13] .
[5:35] .
[5:35] .
[5:35] .
[5:36] There you go.
[5:52] And recall that you were talking in the play instead of the kitchen until the end of the episode.
[5:54] and the water ballet that they put on in California in January was president.
[6:12] And I felt that he was going to need to be after our trip to Africa.
[6:13] I think we were going to get to the house.
[6:14] Actually, it turned out it was after our trip to the Philippines.
[6:16] We had our invitations and programs ended up leaving by that time and purchased a regulation small video crew for it.
[6:41] Larry, Paul, and Julie and Christian were collaborating and writing the play.
[6:43] And Julie was a very great bird.
[6:43] The play came out all night after that trip.
[6:44] But for most of the people in the neighborhood,
[6:46] and the Cinderella that we called, she played Cinderella, Julia played the prince, Tricia played the step-sister.
[7:12] And her half-sister, and Tricia corrected me by saying her half-sister is probably the good step-sister.
[7:14] Oh, the iconics and the girls used to do that.
[7:15] collect things around the neighborhood.
[7:36] And then many of those things are in the house.
[7:37] So the money we get from the Red Cross, on one occasion, we made $4 for this kind of a project.
[7:39] Also, we have to treat a lot of times those kids in a different house.
[7:40] And rather than going through the dead ends and having to dispose of them otherwise, we put out a sign for your kids.
[7:43] And within a day, they were all gone.
[7:47] I'm very well.
[8:08] I'm feeling much warmer.
[8:09] So this morning and last night, we obviously were very tired.
[8:11] Thank you.
