So, hi, Gary.
Fine, I just wanted you to know before you got tied down that you were in some place.
One, how delighted we were.

And the other thing is that I'm pleased I listened to what you said about Pop.
Golly, I try to, I call him every night.
Just
It breaks my heart because they really crucified that boy.
Or they were going to crucify him.
He's a gentleman.
He's a gentleman.
And I don't think he can take it.
That was it.
He told me about his wife, his daughter.
He gets one of those nice Virginia boys.
Oh, that's what I meant.
That was terrific.
That was great.
Did they get him?
No.
Well, Colson's getting in the credit.
He works, he kicks their butts right up through the wall.
Did they get some letters from him?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that helps, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's right.
They've got to do that.
They must do that.
Listen, I'll call him up.
That's got to be helpful.
All right, I'll call him up.
Okay.
All right, fine.
Good luck.
Thanks, thanks, thanks.
