s-1
| Sam has been, has taken such an interest in this retirement bit that it — it really surprises me. |
s-2
| Well she's begun to listen. |
s-3
| Yes she has. |
s-4
| You know. |
s-5
| She has. |
s-6
| Uh, she used to go over and read a book or something. |
s-7
| Yeah, or turn a deaf ear. |
s-8
| That was for sure. |
s-9
| But uh, once you understand it, you know, you, you're interested in getting right in, and going after it. |
s-10
| Yeah. |
s-11
| I really oughta call, at least Reg Barr, and ask if uh, he's still speaking to me. |
s-12
| Well now, he was the one that was up on the left, up there. |
s-13
| Yeah. |
s-14
| Yeah. |
s-15
| Yes. |
s-16
| Well, he came over to you all smiles, I noticed. |
s-17
| Yes. |
s-18
| Well, we've known each other for thirty-some years, why wouldn't he? |
s-19
| But a- anyway, um, I was so glad that he opened up on this disclosure bit. |
s-20
| Because it was Burns that's been objecting to our having it. |
s-21
| Oh? |
s-22
| And I knew this. |
s-23
| So when he opened up on that, and she followed through, and told about her husband, you know? |
s-24
| Not necessarily that she would approve of it, but at least she wasn't disapproving. |
s-25
| Yeah. |
s-26
| Of it. |
s-27
| Yeah. |
s-28
| And uh, course Duvall might – |
s-29
| And I – I cannot get over this. |
s-30
| That man. |
s-31
| I really cannot . |
s-32
| And you know, he must have been thinking, when he said he wasn't a political appointee, he must have been associating his relationship with Steitler. |
s-33
| Oh. |
s-34
| I really do believe that. |
s-35
| Mhm. |
s-36
| In his thinking. |
s-37
| I don't know how else he could have done it. |
s-38
| That topples over. |
s-39
| Um, but he didn't say that. |
s-40
| Oh? |
s-41
| He said, I loved your hum- humor, uh, and I love you, but, I am not a political appointee. |
s-42
| And his eyes were just snapping. |
s-43
| And I said, Oh? How did you get on the board? |
s-44
| Well he said, I got a letter from the governor, asking. |
s-45
| Everybody on there is an app- political appointee, that wasn't the point. |
s-46
| The point was, I could have mentioned what was in the paper about him, that he was related and, you know, had business with Steitler, and I just said, and there's Doctor Duvall, you know? |
s-47
| And then I went to Rotus, who's a seasoned politician, if there ever was one. |
s-48
| Yeah. |
s-49
| He just would flare. |
s-50
| And I said, well, I – alright. |
s-51
| I said, I'll apologize next time, and I'm gonna make hay out of it, don't you worry. |
s-52
| I wanna know how you birds got on that board, if you're not political appointees. |
s-53
| Mm. |
s-54
| Oh my. |
s-55
| Can I grow some basil? |
s-56
| From seed? |
s-57
| Yes, that's how I've – |
s-58
| I don't have any this year, but I've grown it other years. |
s-59
| Well – |
s-60
| There's no proble-. |
s-61
| It will not take any frost. |
s-62
| Soon as the b- |
s-63
| Yeah I – |
s-64
| A little bit of frost, it's gone. |
s-65
| I l- I learned that one time the – |
s-66
| I learned it just went down. |
s-67
| The hard way. |
s-68
| Hm? |
s-69
| Uh-huh. |
s-70
| Yes? |
s-71
| Well, I think it was Barbara that has some seeds. |
s-72
| Just – |
s-73
| No problem. |
s-74
| It comes right up. |
s-75
| Yeah. |
s-76
| Yeah. |
s-77
| I – |
s-78
| Isn't that what you gave the neighbor one time? |
s-79
| You gave him some kind of herb. |
s-80
| Did I give him some? |
s-81
| I gave him a red pepper. |
s-82
| I think you – I think you gave him some herb of some kind. |
s-83
| I may have given – given him some basil, yes. |
s-84
| Yeah. |
s-85
| I don't have any this year, I forgot to plant it. |
s-86
| I have oregano. |
s-87
| Yeah. |
s-88
| A good stand of it, if you want any. |
s-89
| Yeah. |
s-90
| I have a lot of dried or- oregano. |
s-91
| Mm. |
s-92
| Is your cigarette out, everybody's ? |
s-93
| Yeah, it's out. |
s-94
| You smoked it down into the cork, didn't you? |
s-95
| Pardon? |
s-96
| You smoked it down into the cork. |
s-97
| Well, yeah, you don't like that, do you, but – |
s-98
| No, it chokes me to death. |
s-99
| It's – it's there, might as well smoke it. |
s-100
| Oh. |
