golf tournament for the benefit of the Boys Clubs of Texas.

and I watched the crowd pep the die. I'm the
spirited off the West, and I have done my best
to keep the West and keep it growing. But it's
(16:03):
dying every day. But progress is said, and it won't belong.

golf tournament for the benefit of the Boys Clubs of Texas.

was scared death.

And Patsy and I talked to him, especially Patsy, and
he got up on stage and did a very good job.
And when he came off stage, Patsy hugged his neck
and told him he did fine and all that, and

and I watched the crowd pep the die. I'm the
spirited off the West, and I have done my best
to keep the West and keep it growing. But it's
(16:03):
dying every day. But progress is said, and it won't belong.
