[0:00] Bill, uh, you're still expecting service, right?
[0:04] Well, you think it would be a nice stretch for you to survive on your own?
[0:15] If they would like, they can do it either way.
[0:29] It's been done at times in person.
[0:32] Yes, sir, it has.
[0:34] Sometimes the president went up there.
[0:37] That's right.
[0:39] I didn't want to go up there, the way they took us around.
[0:42] But I think if they would like to come down for a cup of coffee or something like that tonight, I'll be here all afternoon.
[0:49] And for the department, or they can go by phone, whichever is better.
[0:52] You can call Mike and say it's something, it's his choice to get his version than the speaker.
[1:04] If they want to.
[1:05] The mailbox thing, that wasn't...
[1:09] I don't think it would be.
[1:10] I look at your answer sheet.
[1:12] Now, the fact that Hale, you know, he's not here, I don't know what happened to him.
[1:16] I just think it's a public matter.
[1:18] You might talk about that, gentlemen.
[1:20] Well, if they come down, I didn't express myself.
[1:22] But they come.
[1:23] I'd say you're a diligent person.
