Our friend was the man who worked with us the most in the studio here, and he died in a car accident, and that's why we're so unhappy today. He was so close to us that we're going to dedicate this show to D. Keith Carlson because we like him so much. Keith was something that all of us, I'm sure we were proud to know who he was and what he did for us and what we did for him. and i think he meant a lot to us i'm sure that like he was we've had all our special times with him and we were all very special to him just like us he was very special to

each one of us here it didn't really hit me that he was gone um in the car my mother told me you know i wasn't really you know i was sad but i didn't burst out crying or something I mean, you don't have to cry, but, you know, it helps, you know, yeah, I know, but until, until I came to Zoom, and, um, I realized, you know, that he wouldn't come anymore, you know, and we came up to the studio today, um, you know, it was a different feeling, like, he wasn't there, and to, um, criticize us or anything, or compliment us, yeah. You love someone, but, like, you don't tell a person and then after they, you know, they die or whatever, then, like, you can't tell them how much they meant to you or, like, you know, any of the kids out there who've had the same thing happen to them, but not like their daughter or maybe their parents or their relatives, well, their relatives die or their pets or something. They felt the same way.

you don't feel like when i found out i just said i didn't believe it and then i said like right when i when i come over to zoom tour i just seen how everybody else was just sad and like then i realized it you know keitha died and then you feel so guilty inside from all the things you've done to him but you should you shouldn't think of those things you should think of all the good things good times and then you won't be upset anymore like if he'd say yelled at us and then he would come in you'd see him just as he's going in the door and he had this little kind of smile of his or like yeah or put his arm around you and he'd give the little smile good job kid yeah i think i think the favorite part of the show for keith was the phenomenons i think i don't know but he is i think that's the thing he inspired me and norman i'm the most and he gave the name for me and he he got norman's character and got my character and he really wanted that to come out fantastic and every time it did he really give around a roaring laugh like

he really you know loved his work and he liked working with us and he can't he liked the way we did our jokes or something like in his own way he just um he just he just threw himself out to you as soon as you saw him you know you know that's Keith and everything or if you heard somebody laugh and you you know who it was you'd know it was Keith one thing I always remember is my 13th birthday because that's when he died um that night and no it was about 11 o'clock he died and i always remember that because i he he was the best friend i ever had besides you norm i know when he used to yell at me i used to get a little mad one time make all these faces yeah and one time he yelled at me and I don't know what got over me then I yelled back at him I felt proud until I found out what happened and I didn't really feel that proud we all have to be

strong and we have to keep on going do a show and that's it's just the one thing that he probably would have wanted the most out of anything was for us to get for us to keep on going and not stop this because of him and we got a new producer I mean a director now but he won't be the same but we still you know we accept the one that we have now the one we have now I think do you think he's in a position that he knows that we used to really like Keith we're really used to and now he knows he's going to try to you know going to have to fill the place but um we just have to accept the fact that um keith isn't going to direct it's hard to cope with this kind of thing because you can't understand it because i've had no one ever die and and and the best thing to do is is to try not to think of it too much and accept it and then just keep on keep on doing well because what he would want to do if he was alive or dead is want to see you working well

and he'd want to see you doing well. He wouldn't want to see you all sad all the time and ruining your life just, you know, thinking about it just because of him. He'd want you to work hard, very hard. When I came in that day, it didn't hurt me as much because it's not that I'm glad he died. I was really sad. I felt like flooding the place with tears, But I just couldn't because I had so many other deaths happen to me. All my aunts and uncles, most of them. My great-grandmother died. All the pets I have around died. And Keith, it was just like, it was sort of just like another death, only I knew him much more than anybody. He's still here, and he's probably, you know, like, when we do something wrong, like, he's like a self-conscious. If we, like, do something

wrong during a take, we'll just think of him and, you know, what he'd say, and it would help us to carry on and finish the job. Every spring, cousins and I collect sap to make maple syrup. We used to stop tapping the trees around George Washington's birthday on one of those weekends there. A tree has to be 40 years old before you can tap it. If it's younger than that, it would kill it. The size of the tree depends on how many buckets you can put on it.

When they get up around a couple hundred years old, then you can start hanging some real good buckets on it. One tree that we tapped this year has six buckets on it. That tree must be close to three to four hundred years old. we usually gather every day if the sap runs good you can pretty well tell if the saps running by the weather if there's cool nights warm days the sap will be running today it was pretty miserable because it was snowing up it was pretty cold there was ice on top of the sap in the bucket We had to break the ice before we could get the sap out. When the sap comes out of the tree, it looks just like water. When our pails are full, they weigh about 80 pounds,

so we just dump it into a can in the back, and we turn on the pump. It pumps it up into a bigger attack. It's a lot easier than climbing up into the truck with the heavy pails. When we get back home, we bump it out of the truck into a bigger tank. On a really good day, we collect about 400 gallons of sap. To make maple syrup from the sap, you have to boil it down. this is where most of the water is boiled out of the sap to get you sir it takes 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon sir when we're boiling you have to watch the temperature when it reaches 219 Then the sap gets heavier and it keeps moving back and forth in these little alleys like in your back pans.

Then it'll work around into your front pans where it gets even heavier. Then finally on one side of your pans you'll have syrup. after drawing it off the evaporator we put it into this big filter tank and this filters out any of the bugs or anything that gets in it then it goes into a smaller pan where it's heated up to a certain temperature then it goes down into another filter where it's bottled The thing I like about sugar is getting deep the maple syrup on pancakes. It's kind of a nice feeling that I've gone out and done all the work for it.

Kind of nice to see what it tastes like. Before I start this new phenomenon, I want to introduce you this new, improved togi. And he's got these solid-state radio batteries, AM, FM radio, tape recorder, carpeted head. And brain. Hello, master. Hello. I'm going to show you a phenomenon that you won't believe your eyes.

And now, in the fading grandeur of the once famous Zoom-in, another episode of As the World Zooms. Hi, Maxie.

Hi, Maxie. Hi, guys. I've got something important to tell you. You just got to listen. What's the matter? Are you imagining the police are chasing you again? I'm not worried about me at all. You know, Bonnie, our Bonnie goes around on roller skates. Not anymore, she doesn't. Last night, she lost the roller derby for the first time in simply years, and I think she may be out of a job I think all we can do if she comes in today is try to make a Special effort to try to be super nice to her and that includes you too Frank me.

What is it? What is it? Why?

Turn, Lucas. Turn, boy. Sit. Stay there. Bonnie, it looks like one of your wheels on your roller skate is loose. See? What did I tell you? You skate fine. I knew it was something like that, but can you fix it, Professor? Hey, Lucas. Come back here. Oh, my God. Come back here. Now that Bonnie's Wheel of Fortune is in Lucas' mouth, will she ever get back on her feet again and win the Derby? Make sure to watch the next gripping episode of As the World Zooms. If you want to help write As the World Zooms, we have a Zoom card that tells you how to do it. But when you send for a Zoom card, make sure you include a SASE. That's a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Here's a great goodie. You can try it at your next party. You take two scoops of ice cream, put them on a plate in a line. Then you take two peanuts and put them on the second scoop for feet. Then you take two gumdrops and put them here for eyes and another one for a nose. Then you take some black licorice and make whiskers. And there you have it

An ice cream mouse Before man came to the earth There were only animals And the lion was king of the jungle Even then This is a story of a lion school That helped the little lions become kings This was the day That all the little lions would go to school Junior, time for school. All the lions were nervous about being away from home without the parents for the first time. Don't be afraid. One little lion was fixing his hair and noticed that the style was very ordinary looking. He looked in the yard and saw a beautiful red rose. Wow, now I know how I can change my hair. So the lion put the rose in his hair and started out for school. As he was walking in the jungle, everyone laughed and made fun of him. When he got to the school, everyone still made fun of him, except the teacher.

She said it was good to have changes made. Let me shake your paw. And she said he was brave to take on changes, and a king needs to be brave. And when the lion grew up, he became a king. And from then on, the world has lived with a word called change. Dear Zoom, my name is Cheryl Bryles. I am nine years old. I live in Modesto, California. I like to watch you sign because I am deaf.
