All right but what were we doing on Pearl Harbor by the way. We were there you know. Oh yeah after I was home I went back for you or your partner. Reason I
lived to show what I was getting out of the Corps colonel. Oh Captain Chester. Oh never mind. Or called Scotch. I don't understand you going home. Mary you are right a lot. Let me tell you. That was a very shallow war against man and he was totally right. That's right he thought of course getting

You're going to join the third record which is your third grade. And you want to the south. Oh good. So I went down in Johnny Rain right. And we were just putting it together and then we went on out. You know the military has always ordered or it's always been your life you know so your rear just recently you were saluting flag day
really. In fact it seems like every time I pick up take her home here's government met once again being saluted by so rudely bar association or a group of military boy. So you're kind of that math renaissance spirit that I just love the gift of rayon Grand Prix where I ran and really wonder how the military was. Or part of my life or your life you've got to train for it go train two years of training college
or for that matter. I tried to write here or go for one of my students you know watch small world where do we want to oversee Charlotte all of one or two first and we were to join the First Marine Division with route. Oh that was really on the ration or world to protect your brain. So I got ashore as a well-known company. We're going to be training officer of the jungle warfare home. Well that was a horror show. So we set
up a war afresh to put all of it very very little our first clue that there were so you saw real water can now use an hour or so here you come out of the Silver Star right. You're now a major major general. So once again the military is here. I wouldn't go and I don't know why right now. Very well you're right now are you
George. Well 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 right. Oh your military career is one thing. Let's talk a little about this a little less talk about come back come back to Hearts for you. So tell us about girl Kelly. What was it like back 45. It was a bad girl. What was going on. Well darling are you there and show us their situation from
that. Right. Yeah yeah. So she had to roll or roll or wash over or. You had to be on the right side. You're going to get anything just
for if you have a certain other side you're probably left if you're a juror or people downtown cashing houses or businesses who are allied with 0 0 0 ration. So for a certain kind of licensing license revoked no serious trouble. So here you were in your early 30s come back located the house friends or so you look around see that there is a machine and there's a girl who is oh do you know her for
the last few hours. You're all the rest you have to force you down through your rational so you actually get really riled a lot you know. Oh yeah everybody go to the horror story structure sometimes or the mayor
resign or that second search for solo comeback. So we go around the world with all these other GST together we gotta get home to go work out over all these people out there with the roof over it.
Oh you know Oh right they had every right and they're wrong. So we have that right. Course you can imagine they got to sell their cars to the city you know Richard. Mayor Bell Oh no no. So that's what I mean. Oh you mean like the G.I. revolution. Most of the young like yourself women who serve their country back home right. They warn they could close now their lives could be
revoked for just one time. Right. So you ran for your prosecutor was there a conflict prosecuting attorney or challenge. Yes we had a constable Oh no sir we ran a primary. Forty six. We were I was elected I was selected because you are a girl out Girl Scout Girl for some other
girl. Oh oh oh oh. Right or wrong. We have really a Republican judge. Oh you know their lawyer Richard run. Anyway we are party all right course. Primary we're calling primary here we want to talk about
the year before. So for now anyway I want this chance to get over a general election fight for the election. So yes whole people to switch from. So hopefully that was a place that was in 1940 see their lawyers always heard you served with the state legislature and I are very sure when
Nathan was sort of an ally of yours at that next. That is correct. Mark I don't want to for you already bring away with us from members and you know all their lives so I mean that's like you're not saying a lecture but we avoided the legal Oh we brought to court and we were able to get federal court because I have a lot. Volunteer hours oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh yeah if I'm not mistaken. Dr. Robert de left university or so probably search history for also the other people bring back so that we had a closer relationship with God. Just with his brother he live there. We're well on our course. Teacher great lawyer one of the proudest you wonder what you always want to sort of run at one time.
Oh right right. This made it possible for him to conduct his judges through your code of conduct at your seminar you live back to back improve are your all the market are so. This story is very very exalted place in our industry have you noticed. Oh yes nowhere Rob. You know you get a nice week's Japanese and he's going to teach a course at her next year. So he's going to teach you wonderful young man our little fish. Look here look you did so. So what was it Matt Matt do this first few weeks this prosecutor prosecuting attorney girl. Well of course the first thing they ran here is that Gary operation. She was
my God. Oh Val Oh yeah right there. Right. Because you know the book first then we have a story you ran two years later for you. OK so good. So this quarter we had some differences but you know just on the revenue. Yes your hair like that for me. Yeah right I was in here. Yes I think this have you got the
business there. Well you know. Just like she was running. Right right you know that you cut back. And so we did a little research on taxes yet because we found out that his own life. Right. So it would be higher but you had to write your code so we still have a lady from Kandahar where they're sent back to her home tragic story. Our families were sort of in a mental there some extent. Question A 1948 question Violet
Dixiecrats right. We want to talk about the Dixiecrats bin Laden became very in fact waiting with him one time I understand that strong German I mean crashed the Dixiecrats strongarming when he walked out of the convention. I guess he would have been governor of South Carolina strong forgetting Yeah. And he at one time maybe even want to be like you to become his running mate. You did or you did a very courageous thing for you here you were not Governor elect elected in the primary and we were faced with a decision in our real Thomas or Harry Truman and in 1948 every era almost all Harry.
Send him home. Harry Truman one there. Arkansas was one of them. There are so loyal national rating and why was that. Well. That time because the right to crash is wrong for you or your credit card. They were all happy of life through the convention and I thank them not from
the chair. Well you don't like your brother but you know as you pointed out all the polls no one thought he would ever. Great President. Yes I hear a lot of things for which stars can carry Arkansas or rural Georgia. I remember we were the Democratic Party. But anyway Arkansas very hard
for Truman Arkansas. There's a fabulous picture of you President Truman walking down Main Street. Why. Oh you're really really tired. That's just that's a great rock or bucket of water. It's just so much of it. You know that was 30. From the first world war there convention always marks true. So are we march for truth
Mark only turn left on Mark. Well I want to ask you that. They say that you there. True true. Hope you're right. I was right there. So we have. Why do you lie. Why haven't you noticed it. Well have heard about Mark in the world. Rather proud. Yeah that's right.
Bart Walker we said before if I thought he'd talk you want to hear you talk about the upcoming election. He was going through that we're going to actually actually this action or that this report that I don't remember that talk about pictures. You remember the Chicago heroin drug through over there right over here. He would of course he was so controversial. Very true but he was never there. Right
right right Carol. Yes and you're a man or he understood history he was a historian by the way we're trying to do that right. Arkin So it's all over. We hope we're you know we're trying this all so we don't like last time I was right. Martin for Sing Sing a Star-Spangled Banner song and I don't get it. You know we sometimes rival Texas. No question about their future.
But there's one thing about Texans there and one reason I think this system is because it is the state where the doctor gave birth so that we story but not everyone. So I really hope we're going to really you know teach our kids so I just try more. Oh that is here in Arkansas. You know I have to be proud of this. So here you are you go.
