Yeah took me into this restaurant here in the hotel and I look at this place. Oh yeah you can see him safely to from there. Well I pretty much finished up I just wanted to ask you though. Are there any other stories you know that come to mind any funny stories or anecdotes about George growing up. Any anything else you remember. Now you mention I love the story you mention about him knocking over his brother's blocks there. Any any other stories from when he was a little boy or even a little older maybe going into high school ground underlying our. Own time. And here he was. Thought it was a laser coming for a newspaper or people had a problem or enter. Joyce had to live she
going to make your deliver what other men I know he was like academically inclined more or less you know. It was a hard worker. Ever. It was an error. You know it was good that he was in you know more or less an after life thing lived around them and writing stuff like that. But he was always Brad and I were Are you sit there and I said you don't do it you can do better and I love the little horn quotation. I said your character saw us and just remember good better and best never let it rest or your good or your betters best and your best as Bess I said always remember.
Are you doing octopus. That's good Q was sure I know I know who you think your mother was and we're going to get a little girl I hope. Never to have to get up our ladder and look after me. Shake resistant on the modern one that fell out and are not of the kind of choking scare him enough. I wouldn't need them now. As for you. From the time I walked off and left the certainly hurt us and I got detention. They were good kids. You jealousy which is holy job creation. I said. And said. I said at the start.
To get you to agree. I see where you get city Gray I said unless you want to work straight. Well if you want to work for the stair and others you want to go and some of these factors. I think it's a degree and get the heck I want our friends because you know it's nothing less you're going to stake our power to us you're where you know and you've got no product or a shrewd politician. You know. The answer good quality not what I mean. What about I can make it. Yeah you could make it if you can be I ditch digger a straight man and God as a man you can make. Ah I always thought that Mr. I think you should be green.
Do not take your vocational courses or you know vocational school or plumbers electricians in the sun I get that it might break down more more than a Ph.D. professor by trade. I said one thing though that ever what you good at carpenter know when it is be active and you can move and trying to be the best regardless of what it is. It is again on. Yeah Come now history as you say here I was a world's best down when they were in terms of the world this doctor has tried to be there. Do you think George grew up knowing that he had a responsibility to the community that he came from. You know what I mean that oh yes even he had to give that if he was successful that you had to give back give back to what he got from the community. He wanted to make of Mark. So then why did
he want to be a did you order it want to succeed I did not think you wanted to show that he's good. Because there's a strike on her but who were it was. Her who was a smart man. But a con she came back during that depression. And I was from their depression. Who who was poor president. Then your buddy was smart. When he came in he said his country owed him nothing. He gave you wanted to give and gave to every boy and girl a chance and a good education. So at Roosevelt you know he turned things around town and you're homeless MARTIN I think it
was a poor president. I just what I think is that I dollar dad died all that often at work and my nephew my that was good money done right. It was times are tough but you were saying so that he they were there was sort of like George in that he to give back to the community is that what you mean what was said. He said his country old enough and that he wanted to give every born and girl a chance for a fine education in America. I think George wanted to give back to show you know community appreciation you know. God should never forget who writes where he came from and I think everybody should they should not forget what they want to make the best life as possible.
I think it's features and you can manage as a whole you know. Great thought of this and do this as a friend and a good counter girl and good people. But if you have good and bad in every community I think he took advantage of you wanted he you know this good and what do you think the community gave to George was it a close knit community that gave him a lot of support do you think or in love. Oh yeah but he had the support of family and his mother and us and teachers were I think and.
Thank God someone you know and dedicated and. And this was a good good news. For us. I don't know. It's I don't care how you girl just like parish was I don't know the world you know for style that. And when there's. A German to fail BABYLON I don't care how you go you're still no lady you're going fall. You know France Germany bad on him. I don't know you know. Things work in a cycle you know. So America's
is a good culture. You have an opportunity to be what you want to be. And if you don't make it came land nobody ever just saw you and you we're standing and you were talking about. Cities like Babylon eventually following what did you mean by that that eventually you have to to look to where you come from and now the community you know France and Islam are all you know it fair you know went down you don't you know you don't stay on top all time. Top. All the way. And that economy and. Now Russia Russia is not what she used to be that the economy is bad the economy is.
It's bad in United States a whole lot of places. It's bad. But do you think Mr. WULF with with Georgia's success that he has kind of outgrown Frankfort Kentucky. Not at all not at all you know. You know forget who are coming from Worcester as you know major signing with the ever. You know hot head and I. Think no no you're never you know you got to know where it came from and there are good laws have and the people that you know he know and I think. Because you have your ups
and downs and always look for the silver and. Of course George is working out of their actors as Shakespeare wrote a lot of Shakespeare. You think you're going to end up in this play. Yeah. I don't know. Oh I see Shakespeare Shakespeare. I thought it would be the British playwright of all time. He would fix Shakespeare. What am I kidding. Kennedy was prez when it was a good
President Kennedy was not in office long enough to become a great player he was a good at just like in power just Marshall and Carter was a. Governor of Kentucky said that asinine for question if the guy was great. I said that's an unfair question I see. Miss Collins is a good girl but she has been in office after Brewer said all the time we're still just you know question. You know them people around I know ministers from around I am a good girl and i asked me a question like yeah right I'm lost a good friend but I'm not going to say not all of the governors I know sit in a bed with some or all. Of us like Samsung that it was up first it was a father thing
he couldn't do anything with. They had a Democrat legislature you can go with that and I think the next one that was. South will Samsung next. A judge may examine his daughter or him and made a big deal that it was well let's say Manuel this saying well if he can donate all you have to do with her Leslie she was a good man and there's no saying one witness. That. LNH done it you know it was a good lawyer smart. Like I think or Clemens BDM I thanked her for her kindness whatever that's done. Smart lawyer you know I just live here. It's a Kentucky hat racks.
Three Democrats one Republican John Sherman couple was a Republican right. But John Sheryl Crow was all right at the beginning and Dr. Lecter of ham sandwich on good behavior with United States Senate. So one day and I ministration said well you know start voting for Robert and settle down. He said I'm from the state of Kentucky. I vote for the interests of my people. That's what I care for your interest and you can demand I keep him and keep a man. You get a rascal he gets an idea and I vote him out. I'm against this term and I know you got it if you've got a brilliant my man to my right where people want. Excuse me I thought I was just going to ask God yeah yeah.
