Oh, George, all right.

I'm Mr. Fred and Mr. Frank Elizabeth.

Hello, I'm Mr. Frank Elizabeth.

I'm very glad you should be here.

I've got a street there.

All right.

Good to see you.

Mr. Fred Voltaire.

I'm Mr. Fred Voltaire.

All right.

Nice to meet you.

All right.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah, I'm not Purdue the other day, you know.

They call that the board meeting.

Jesus, you're new here.

I'm Mr. Fred Voltaire.

Yeah, he's a fine guy.

He retired.

Jack, we've got a Jack on the line.

Yeah.

This is Carmen Williams, president of the St. Peter's Association.

Yeah, I've been here a hundred times.

Yeah, I used to play nice, but somewhere along the line, I went wrong.

I think you're doing all right.

You're the caters.

I'm the caters.

Right, right.

These are building traces of his hard work.

This is a really stiff one.

Listen, I know all about it.

My brother, the rest of the boys, he must have taken off on a huge trip.

Well, in my opinion, I'll tell you, the main thing is to get in a fight with the utility company.

But I know all about my Pennsylvania contacts up there, particularly the state chairman, you know, Johnson.

You guys were great.

We're lucky to have you here.

You sound good.

I'm glad to hear that.

Each one of you needs us.

We'll let you do better than Shaq.

Shaq's going to fix up real good for Covert Hill.

Now, let's get a second picture.

Let's get a second one.

Now, you're going to be real good.

So, welcome to here.

We'll give you this for the benefit of your time.

Frank, I'm sorry to tell you, but I don't know where I'd want to go.

I'd straight out of this house.

All right.

I see you're standing in front of the whole class.

It's fine.

How do you make them take another picture?

All right.

Now, move.

I'll turn it here.

There you are.

I want to look out here.

Well?

I did want you to know, I had an interesting talk with Barbara yesterday.

He was talking about things.

He was mentioning the fact that he said that, you know, that I had, of course, come up

I had to work all my life, work in a major school, so what does this come with?

This comes with my parents.

And as a matter of fact, my father was, when I, before I was born, was a carpenter, and that, and built the house when I was born.

That's right.

I had to have worked in the oil fields, and I heard the grocery store address.

But the main thing we want you folks to know is you talk to your members that work for them.

You know what I mean?

I mean, I know what I'm doing.

I believe in a very strong labor movement.

And I also more importantly believe in the people.

We have all these people that have their hands out.

You guys are out working.

You guys are out paying taxes.

You guys are out supporting the, you know, the country.

That's right.

And I tell you, as compared to some of these people that are supposed to, you know, some say the other class are in terms of income payments.

My gosh, what do they do?

They produce a call that goes on and steals these documents out of the, you know.

That's the worst thing you will ever do.

Just think of it this way.

You just walk 80, 80 sides, and Ron's trying to carry out 47 of these.

Now, Sharon's old story, that must come off our back.

But the point is, nobody can break the law, you know, until we change the agreement.

And the President of the 47th Committee, the day he talked to you about who he should trust and stuff, he's supposed to look them straight in the eye when he talks to them.

I like to say one thing to you, sir.

He's not our friend at election time.

He's our friend all the time.

We appreciate it.

And anything we can do for him.

I'll remember this.

I can go on record to myself and say, anything from a gentleman to me, he doesn't want to come up.

He doesn't come up.

Your governor would be delighted to be sent before.

That's right.

That's the next question.

And with Captain, we're close to Jones in our own plans.

And I'll watch him very closely in terms of his political interests.

So I'll put it that way.

Fair enough.

He had no respect for Billy Grayson.

He didn't get vetted.

Great.

Because he worked with the Department of Commerce.

He was trying to get a job for us.

Right.

Which we come from an area that you probably heard of in the North.

It's a depressed area.

And the mills went out.

And Cliff came in and he formed this meeting.

And he put us on the right track.

And that's where I first met him.

Should I give you a hundred percent of that?

We're going to have to be more in the race, and Democrats won't be there.

And he's killing us both sides, so... Sure, we'll have to be careful, because nobody can handle us all.

You've got to get a solid book.

You've got to get a 3.5 tax, but no tax reform.

He didn't tell us where he was going to send the money.

He's bartering.

Actually, that's good because that's what happened in 72, really.

And one thing that makes it a little hard for us.

Yeah, hard people are saying, well, we should have voted for Broderick.

Broderick was great.

He was a lot better guy.

Broderick is a good guy.

Hey, uh, the president is a very busy man.

I'm going to give you something to take home.

He's here.

He's the presidential cousin.

He has a seal of a president right there.

So even though you're down, Brad, you can work.

He doesn't have any problems.

There you are.

Thank you very much.

We appreciate your support of our cause and we'll try to be worthy of it.

My pleasure, sir.

Good luck.

Well, that's what we should have done.

Oh, I appreciate it.

He's a friend of the building training.

He's going to teach you his other duties.

Right.

You're going to tell him he's a friend of the building training.

You're going to tell him he

Let's hear it for the Lutheran Services.

Hey, why don't you go ahead and do it?

The Lutheran Services.

Oh, yeah.

All right.

Thank you.
