Some of my notes, you know, groups of those, I have quite a few that I just, you know what they do, you just file away.
That's right.
Also, there will be time and I'll have a few little tapes that I don't want to run off.
You've got to have two or three of those and you can take them.
Now, they are preservable, are they not?
They do not.
So there's no problem in having to transcribe it?
No.
All right, we'll work it out then.
Now we keep all these things, you know, completely separate.
We can take those.
I'll just put our personal and send it in to you.
I read a picture of, uh...
The rest of us did.
She looked so lovely.
That's gonna be on television tonight.
That show.
I could hear it if you were awake, you know, if you're out in town.
The old man, I know, you know, she was in the front row on the 10th.
She just looked, she looked so lovely.
Oh, my, she's amazing.
She's amazing.
