school, well to speak of one school there, [indecipherable] now Oklahoma City,
he taught English in that school for about six years. Then he went on to OBU at
Shawnee and other schools. I like to tell him when we are together, I forget
about him being a doctor, just my little brother. My little brother, I'm quite
proud of him.

children too.

on, start at the top.

00:01:00City. She has a good job and I don't know whether she's working with the school

but help.

around. People have to make their own mistakes.

WN: They have to work out their own ways, and we just have to extend a loving
hand to 'em. That's the only way we can solve anything. Then I can't solve it.
