the first thing, uh, what do you think you would offer as far as, uh, information about selecting a school? Well, first I think they've got to have a pretty good idea of what they want to, what they want to do. Uh-huh. Uh, once they have that, then they can start looking in all the various publications that give out al...
I went where I wanted to go. Yeah. What was your degree in? Uh, political science. Political science, oh, okay. Well, I I know, I'm going to school right now, and, uh, I have a friend, Where are you at? Uh, U T D. University of Texas, Dallas. Well, yeah, I guess, everybody's in Dallas that I talk to. I'm in, North Caro...
I think if you're going into like, uh, law or medicine, a very particular, very specific field, even, even engineering, you can get, you can meet a lot of the requirements at a public, um, institution. Sure. And, uh, it's a lot cheaper. Oh, yeah. My parents, my parents made a mistake in, uh, in sending my sister to a p...
Um, and from that point I went to law school. Uh-huh. And after a year and a half of that I decided I didn't want that either Okay. Haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up. Yeah. And so, but I, I, I really did enjoy the law. I mean, that's, that's where I wanted to be, but I didn't want to go through the, ...
I'm, I'm pursuing what they, what's, what's called an interdisciplinary field. I'm a speech therapy major Uh-huh. and fortunately I have a lot of, I have a good medical background, Yeah. and, that's probably very useful. Yeah, it's, it's actually turning out to be more, more useful than what I thought. Uh-huh. And, um,...
Uh-huh. I said, uh, I couldn't do this everyday. No way. Well. Maybe, maybe being a tenured professor would be one thing, but being a public school teacher is entirely another thing. Oh, so you are a disgruntled graduate student I am a I am, I am just a disgruntled person all around Oh I'm the, uh, I'm the, uh, origina...
and you know, talking about fields, people going into different fields, I made an off, off the cuff remark about lawyers, about their integrity being questionable. And I mean, oh, that was like a can of worms. Probably, you probably got everybody on you, because they were probably all going to law school. No, there was...
but, Law, law was a lot of fun until you get to law school Yeah. and it doesn't become fun anymore. Yeah, I have a I have a friend. She's studying, she's going into law, another friend going into law, and, she's, I, I, I'm really, I'm really concerned about, you know, she's just going to be, you know, what's going to h...
it's I, I think it's probably more embarrassing and very painful. It is. I see I see that happening. Yeah, very much so. Yeah, it's, it's a lot of that. Um Yeah. it, it was enjoyable for a while, um, but it's such a grind Yeah. and you begin to wonder, you know, if, if I'm not, I mean, you really have to be dead set on...
But I, I, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world. It never hurts to have some kind of a grounding in law. Yeah, I went to a language school, and, and that was a, it was a, an I guess, uh, United States institution. I was military at the time And I, I think probably the biggest. What branch were you i...
what, what was your job? Uh, command post. Uh, I was, I was a linguist I was just wondering, were you in SAC by any chance? Um. Were you in SAC? In Tak? SAC. Uh, no I wasn't. Oh, okay, I, I thought maybe you might have had some experience with the, uh, R C one thirty-fives. No, no, I didn't, I didn't go flight crew. Ma...
Well, Well. Yeah after about eighteen months of talking about the year and a half training, you know, it's, it's something, you know, Uh-huh. I think that's why, you know, children really need to think about the field they're going to, going into, and I mean, spend a lot of serious reading before they, I mean, not just...
Oh, and I tell you what, I worked at McDonald's as well, and I, I can tell you one thing, there are just some people that I, you know, you just came to the point where I mean, and oh, I eventually worked in a lab, in a as a lab technician, and I worked front desk. And I mean, somebody could walk in the door, and I knew...
Uh-huh. Yeah, that's good. I was just wondering, um, getting back to the school thing, so, I, I almost wish that there was something ... What kind of a car do you drive now? I drive a Honda Prelude. Do you? I drive a Honda Accord. Oh, yeah Yeah I bought mine a year ago so I'm not buying a car any time soon. Yeah, me ei...
It, I think I found my car. Well, I, I like where all the controls are they're, they're in good spots Right. Oh, really, Yeah. I have a standard. But, um, I, it's, an it's supposedly real reliable the only thing I've ever heard about Hondas is that the breaks go out first. Oh, really? Yeah. I hadn't heard that. Yeah. W...
and that was the worse car I've ever driven in my life. The Buick was, was great. It was nine years old and it, was still going strong. Really? The only problems I had with it in the nine years that I owned it, I had to replace the compressor when it was about seven years old. Really? And that was the only major proble...
and that's, that's a lot it shouldn't go out that much. Huh-uh. And so I went ahead and bought another standard when I bought the Honda but I don't think I'm going to do that again. I think I'm going back to automatic now. Well, I never, well, I kind of know how to drive standard but I've never owned one so I hadn't, I...
that's why I got the Honda. Yeah. Hondas have great resale value. Yeah. The Mazda definitely did not Not at all. They're worse than American cars I think or just as bad as far as resale goes. I did pretty well with my, uh, Regal because it was in really good shape but, it still looked real nice, Yeah. the, the interior...
but, Yeah. That's what I did with the Mazda, drive it until the, until the clutch went out and the wheels fell off, Yeah. so, probably what I'll do again. Yeah. But I really like the Hondas. I like foreign cars a lot. Uh-huh. Well, I looked at the Mitsubishi Galant. I was looking for a four door car having driven the R...
But I found it hard to deal with the, the dealership I was going through. Oh. So, that's how I ended up with a Honda. I wasn't even looking for a car when I bought this car. I, uh, I was thinking about buying a Prelude from a friend who was moving to New York or something so and she was going to sell her car because sh...
but they're so wonderful. Yeah. I went there looking at a used car and two days later I bought this car. I felt like, I felt like that was the worst impulse, that was, that was largest impulse that I, that I had ever made. The the two, other things that I bought on impulse are a V C R and a washer and dryer. I understa...
Yeah. But I, I guess this wasn't really an impulse, I mean, buying it right then and, you know, right quickly was kind of impulsive but I'd been thinking about buying a new car for about three years and I was just scared to. Right. I was scared to start taking on payments because the Buick was long since paid for. Righ...
Well, um, like on Hondas they, supposedly, the maintenance records was supposed to be registered with Honda or whatever and you can request whatever maintenance records exist on cars and you can have them checked out by mechanics and stuff. Yeah, that's true. I mean they can't stop you from doing it. Hoping that they d...
Anyway, what are your, what are your first comments on that pauses and subject? Uh, my first comments on the budget. I would say there has, What would you start cutting what would be the first thing you'd cut? Defense? Surprisingly, no. I would, I would cut the prison systems and let them self-support. Mean private ent...
So, but, uh, But see they're, they don't have enough, uh, uh, you know, there's, there's not enough room in these prisons and that, and that, uh, to continue funding it. But to me it, They think they need to, maybe have, uh, you know, private, you know, business, private enterprise come in. So, Well, see the other way...
Uh-huh. Yeah, its tough to, to say what, uh, you know, what, uh, as far as this, that good or bad or what. But, uh, I was just talking to somebody else, and all those European countries, they pay all the way through college and stuff like that. They, so, uh, Well, not so much pay. I'm not trying to see the government p...
Uh-huh. our education budget will go down if this is, in a few years, I mean it's not going to be overnight. Yeah. But that would come down. I think the you know, that's one reason, uh, you know, we do have the education is that what it takes for these companies to bring somebody on board. Uh, they're not willing to, y...
You know, they want somebody, you know, when they then, when they bring them off, bring them in, that they have something, you know, a certain amount to contribute. Obviously, there's, uh, you know, there's a lot to learn, uh, after that. But, but, uh, that's true. I'm, I'm sure there's a lot of, uh, you know, business...
Well, but, uh, you know, I think, uh, they, maybe they need to, uh, help promote that more. Give incentives like, uh, if they do bring somebody on, they will pay some of their costs or give tax breaks or whatever it is, you know, for them to train people, you know, stuff like that. Programs like that, you know. Uh-huh...
But, uh, you know, most people I knew have gone and got their degree. So, Oh, yeah. But there's a lot of them out there that haven't. Yeah. Well, I you know, I, uh, was basic, in a, you know, middle, upper middle class area, That's, and yeah, so I think, uh, that demographic area there, you know, a lot of them do go o...
But the deficit basically is that the trade surplus between the other countries, and that we have more money or you know, more money going out and too many goods coming into this country, you know. And, uh, you know, part of that problem, I think, is still, you know, uh, like Japan still does not let us compete fairly ...
Uh. somebody, somebody abandoned her and, she's only about, oh, between six and eight, six to eight weeks old Uh-huh. and, uh, uh, I can't understand why anyone would abandon this dog, though. Oh. She's, I mean she's that, this young and she's almost housebroken. Wow. I mean she actually asks to go out. That's great. A...
Yeah, she just appeared. Oh, really. Yeah, my husband calls her street dog, but we've had her now for about three years, Uh-huh. and I just, you get so attached to them. Oh, yeah. I had a, uh, last year I had I had another German Shepherd, now this one was purebred and, uh, he, when he was about seven months old got a ...
Uh-huh. And then he was gaining weight again, was just getting healthy, and, uh, he put on about fifteen to twenty pounds after the thing and then he got hit by a Cadillac. Oh no. So, I couldn't believe it. That was, that was really hard. Oh, gee. And that was even harder for, I was on a business trip at the time and t...
so. Yeah, yeah. How long has it been since the first one? Uh, see, he, it, it was just over a year. Uh, yeah, Uh, it was in March of last year. So, uh, yeah, it'd been, didn't, didn't have one for a whole year. Yeah. Well I had, I had a German Shepherd before this one and when she died it just, it just absolutely destr...
My dad's like that, he, uh, he had a beagle that he loved and, uh, when that beagle passed away, uh, he didn't want, he wasn't going to have another dog, there's no way, Uh-huh. no how, and then, uh, the, he the beagle died in I guess about October and by Christmas time we went down to the pound and got him, uh, I or, ...
it is. Well hopefully this one here, Cocoa will live a full life Yeah, well when, uh, my, my doggie, uh, that we have now, uh, she's, she's mostly Golden Retriever. Uh-huh. The vet called her, uh, a golden mix Yeah. like who knows, you know. Right. But she's, uh, she's that sort of strawberry blonde reddish color, you ...
and she said there's a lot of longevity in that name, said my cow lived seventeen years That's not too bad. Golly the Golden Retrievers are good dogs too, they're kind of like, get that permanent smile to them, Yeah, right. they're always, always happy. I don't think I've ever seen them not look happy. And she's so eas...
and we went and took the two dogs up fishing. And this, they just, they had a ball romping around, Uh-huh. and, you know, you can't get a Golden Retriever near water without it jumping in. Getting in, yeah. And, uh, this Golden Retriever jumped in the, the, really fast moving, uh, river current, and, uh. Oh, no. Well n...
I was careful to keep her away from the, the fast moving water, Oh, that's good, yeah. 'cause if she fell in then I'd of been, had to go in after her. And up here the water's probably about forty degrees right now. Ugh, ugh. And I would not have been fun trying to retrieve her, but, uh, this dog, Dennis jumped in and g...
we, we had a little pool, Uh-huh. and, uh, she was, she did not want any part of swimming but she liked to, to get in the pool on the first step. She'd just get on the first step and lay down. You know in the summertime when it's really, really hot. Uh-huh. Yeah. And she'd just lay there on that step and just, you know...
Oh really. Yeah, and she, oh baths. Oh gee, she hated baths worse than anything. It was, it was just really a fight to, you know, get her clean. Yeah. Have you seen, uh, CANINE. The movie, oh, No, no. you've got to see it. Especially since you have a German, it is so cute. Oh really. Yeah, and, uh, an part of the, the ...
it wasn't like he didn't Uh-huh. normally, I mean he didn't seem to have a problem with getting wet, but if you wanted to get him wet, forget it. Yeah, well that's how Cleo, you know, she'd lay on her step, Yeah. but that was, that was the only time she wanted to get wet and she didn't want you getting her wet Right, r...
and I was watching it again, and my husband heard me laughing and he said I can't believe that you're still getting such a kick out of that movie I'll have to check it out. I saw the, the, uh, previews for it and all and it did look like it'd be a good movie, but, It is great. uh, really haven't had a whole lot of time...
Oh. That's how I got into, uh, into the switchboard project and all that, so. Uh-huh. But it's nice having a dog here, uh, the, Oh, yeah, there's just, uh, what's the, what's the word I'm looking for, uh, lots of affection, no unconditional affection from the, from the dog. Right, that's it. Yeah, yeah. Really, not cri...
Yeah, well, it's been nice talking to you, we seem to be degenerating here, so Well, uh, I don't have strong feelings about changes to be made in the, uh, jury system, do you? Uh, not at all. In fact, I'm graduating from college in about a week and this past semester I've taken two criminal justice classes and have dis...
But, if there are some people who don't agree uh, then there must be, it seems to be there must be at least a reasonable doubt for some people. Exactly. Uh-huh. Uh, I don't know. I, uh, you, you rarely hear, you hear, of course there's cases where someone has been put in, in, in, uh, prison, uh, falsely accused but, uh...
they don't want you on the jury. Right, , they don't want anyone with anyone with particular experience or knowledge of the legal system. Exactly. Uh-huh, exactly. Uh, And they tend, and since anyone can get out of it who basically says they don't want to do it, I mean, you know, it's, it's anyone can get out of jury j...
I, I was called once, but I was out of the country, and apparently I, apparently they thought I served so I didn't, I didn't make any noise about it I came back and they said the record showed I served, but I was out of the country at the time, so I'm pretty sure I didn't. Uh, Yeah. I, uh, I don't know, I think the, I ...
that's hard to say. Uh, so, it's, it's, uh, you know, saying, well, look we don't like the way he looks and, let's, uh, let's throw the rascal in jail and stuff. Right. And you also get a lot of, uh, juries are extremely, uh, and from what I hear, I, I have, I have some friends who do expert witness testimony and they ...
Uh-huh. Well, how about having a jury and a judge work together on it somehow? I wonder if that's possible? I guess the judge's time is worth too much, though. judge They pay that judge, they pay those jury members very little money compared to that judge Right, exactly He makes more money in an hour than all twelve of...
Oh, of course. It's, it's political maneuvering. The, the one side is looking for someone whose face they think will, you know, want to hang everyone, and the other one is going to look for someone very sympathetic. They're not looking for someone who's going to be the most reasoned or sensible or rational juror. *whos...
If it was, if it was a, a family member of theirs, though that was innocent and, then they'd want to be on that jury. Right. Course, they'd be, they would be barred, but But, uh, if everyone would take it, I think if everyone took it seriously Uh-huh. Yeah, well it sounds like we both need to get out there and serve on...
All right. Have you ever been drug tested? Um, that's a good question. Um, I had a job I had to go get a blood test for. Uh-huh. Um, and, and they did a full blood screen on me, but they didn't call that a drug test. So I think they checked for drugs. They just don't tell you they did. Yeah. I had, I've had, uh, two o...
and they get drug tested randomly. I've, never been randomly drug tested. Uh-huh. But that would probably bother me to wake up one day and find out halfway through the day that you're going to be drug tested and you didn't know about it. Yeah Well, I guess it depends on if you got something to worry about Yeah. I gues...
like if your boss is your drinking buddy or whatever, I mean, you can come to, come to work drunk and get in an accident and he'll cover up for you and, nobody knows about it, Right. but you know, ends up costing the company lots and lots of money. That's true. So, I believe, it's right, especially for certain jobs. ...
and, so, I really don't care one way or another if anybody wants to pull me up tomorrow and test me. Because I have nothing to worry about. Uh-huh. Yeah. So, I guess that's kind of biased. Yeah. Well, there, it's, I, I think one of the problems with it is it affects a lot of other folks on the job if somebody else is ...
and they happen to be tested Monday morning and they could be fired for that? You know, that, that's kind of unfair, also. Well, yeah . I guess it comes with the turf. Yeah. I guess so. I guess if you're going to do it you need to suffer the consequences Yeah. Man. And, in terms of drugs, they're illegal. So you're, y...
Yeah. They would pay for an alcohol Uh-huh. but they don't always pay for drug rehabilitation. Well, I guess that's one of the positive things that have come out of it, some of the employee assistance program. If you do test positive for something they will give you an opportunity to go get your life straight rather th...
it was really very official. You have to go in a room solely by yourself, sign papers that say you were totally alone, sign papers that say this is yours, and, and you have to seal the bottle yourself and label it yourself and, all of that. Uh-huh. So that they're sure that you haven't borrowed anybody's, I guess, or s...
Yeah. It depends really on how, how strong a test it is. They've got different degrees, as far as, as how far back they can check. Yeah. I guess so. They got some unusual things besides blood and urine tests. They've some companies that are doing, uh, hair tests. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, that, they'll pull out one of y...
They, they've got it pretty precise now. They can go back and look at, in terms of growth in a, in a hair, when you used and, and that type of thing. That's wild. So It's amazing the things they can find out from different things on your body. Yeah So, I guess if they perfect that is not quite as cumbersome as having t...
Bye-bye. Okay. Okay. So tell me about CHINA CRY. Okay, CHINA CRY was basically the, the true story written by this, this lady who had, uh, was a native, a native Chinese, uh, uh, who was raised by Christian parents. Uh-huh. And her, her time frame was prior to the nineteen forty-nine revolution. I see. Although she, he...
Uh-huh. they were starting to, uh, accuse her of, of, of, uh, crimes and atrocities before the, the revolution and, and had her write her own story over and over and over. Uh, and the, uh, the major point of the movie was that, that she had, uh, married this, this Chinese fellow and was with child when they started thi...
And she, her life was spared. And this, this frightened the, the, uh, the commandant and so he called this kind of stuff off and just put her in the labor camp. Huh. Well, uh, and, course, here's this, this woman who is heavy with child dragging rocks around. Huh. Well she, she put in for going, going to, uh, and her h...
and, uh, she was not persecuted or anything else like that. Huh. Interesting story. Yes, it was. Uh, very moving, too. I, uh, I don't even remember seeing that advertised and it was probably here and gone fairly quickly. Well, it was within, oh, ninety days. Oh. That recent. Yeah. No, I mean it's, it was, it was advert...
Uh-huh. Uh, my husband and I had this great desire to go see a comedy and, and, uh, we ended up going to see GREEN CARD. GREEN CARD? GREEN CARD. Uh-huh. And, uh, he chose it and, uh, it's got this wonderful French actor who's, it was his, like, his, and he's been a star in France and a wonderful actor who we've enjoyed...
Uh-huh. So she was a horticulturist, and that was sort of her dream. Oh, I see, uh-huh. Of course, you know, they got married and they never saw each other again. Except, except fate through them together *through threw and the Immigration and Naturalization Service, uh, started investigating. So they had to get back t...
you knew what was going to happen, of course. That they would fall in love. Uh-huh. Well, they fell into like, at any rate and and when they went to the query or inquisition or whatever, uh, they did perfectly Right, uh-huh. and then he said something, because his English was so poor on, for the most part, he, he was s...
Uh, it was Sweeper College of about seven hundred and fifty students. I had gone to a small school growing up, uh, and a lot of my friends went to University of Michigan but my parents were retiring in South Carolina when I graduated and, uh, were looking for a southern school and, uh, also U of M seemed overwhelming i...
And, I'm familiar with Plano. I visited once or twice. Oh, Austin is so pretty. I really like it Oh, I love it. I love it. I really do. And your daughter is going to be a sophomore. That's correct. I have two daughters, but my oldest will be, will be a sophomore. Is, uh, because you live in Austin, is she thinking abou...
and they lived in the dorms. And I thought this would expose both of them to what it's, you know, like on a a smaller college campus. And, uh, my oldest one just wasn't impressed at all with the idea of a small school. So, uh, I, I, I still think the exposure was good. Yes. The reason I ask if you went to college is I ...
Uh, I had had an A F S student from Germany live with us our senior year Oh, how exciting. and we just thought that would be a wonderful thing and I ended up majoring in French. One of the reasons I picked the school was because they had a strong science department. They also had a strong language department and I'd al...
Uh, and so he's used to a bigger size Large classes. and because my brother is there, uh, he would have family, close by. So there, there are advantages. Uh, but I also, because I had so many friends who did go from our small school to University of Michigan, which was so large and they really felt, uh, like they were ...
and I do feel fortunate that Texas has so many good schools. And even though Baylor, uh, Yes. and when you mentioned that, we, we have friends who have children there who just love it. And for a private school it is not as expensive as most are and it is a smaller size and, uh, I do feel like there are a lot of options...
Uh, what she talks about a lot is theater which I think is okay Bethany, let's be real Uh, she really is, is pretty unfocussed at this point. And, I don't know, she's taken a lot of French, and she may end up doing something with that. And I am a single mom, so I've been, and I made the mistake of dropping out of colle...
now that he's in high school, uh, and, of course, there's, there is still time, but he's beginning to feel that, as much as he enjoys writing, he wonders if he can make a living at it. You know, it's, the, it's, Okay, I guess we're supposed to discuss the, uh, school system. That shouldn't be too much trouble for the t...
And I cannot imagine being able to do much of anything when they don't even come to school. Right. Well just recently in the paper here, were articles about students, uh, working. High school students that work and the percentage of hours that they work and how that affects their grades. Uh-huh. But then the follow-up ...
So, uh, But there can still be an attitude of Right. you know, this is a stopgap measure because we need it right now, but, but that the most important thing is still, you know getting your education. Your education. Well when they meant, said the, the topic, you know, of what's wrong with the public schools, my, my f...
Right. I think that's the main problem. Yeah. And schools now are supposed to solve social problems, uh, mental and emotional problems as well as educate the kids and try to provide them with some security. Huh. Yeah. And that's overwhelming. Well we've got, uh, you know at our school we have over a thousand elementary...
We have always, though, had three at middle schools because we had about a thousand kids and they divided them up between three counselors but for a good while every year they'd have a different counselor and they decided that didn't work. Yeah. So they started, uh, dividing the kids up so that a counselor stays with h...
Yeah. That's right What's going to happen to them? Are they going to be able to, uh, work at other kind of menial jobs or are they going to be the thieves and the people in prison. Yeah. And our prisons are filling up faster then we can build them. Right. That's no good. I'm on that, um, campus strategic planning comm...
and what are, you know, and what kind of state are we in if, if most people are going to private schools. Well I think, uh, one thing that we'll see is that we won't be educating everybody. Right. There will be a lot of people who will not get even a menial education like in other countries of the world where they don'...
Uh-huh. it's worded. And, uh, I don't know Well you know if we can keep them in school. Right. Uh-huh That's so important, then that, that helps a lot. I think the gang violence is scaring everyone to death too. Oh gosh. Well that new movie, That new movie out, It's scary to me. I, um, really, really a frightening si...
So, well, shall we wrap it up? Uh, I would imagine that we've talked the amount of time necessary. I think we have to. Okay. So I'll see you when we see you. Alright. We were in, uh, Austin yesterday. Uh-huh. The reason that I wasn't at church and we went to hear, uh, James wind ensemble concert Oh. they left this morn...
Well, do you do a lot of dining out? No, um, we don't although we enjoy it. Um, we do it more when we have company come. Uh-huh. Um, what about you? Well, we do some dining out. Um, I, I do a lot of cooking so, um, mostly like when we go out, you know, it's my husband and I, I, we don't go out too often as a family, um...
now that's down in, uh, Highland Park. Right. It's Highland Park Village. Did you like it? Yes. Uh Oh, I love it Before we moved to, the area, my brother, uh, lived in Dallas for a number of years and we came up one time when my father was visiting and we all ate there Uh-huh. and, oh, their seafood was wonderful. Oh, ...
And, I loved them both. I really do. I think they're wonderful. That's our favorite. You know what we'd really like, if, if we just have a, a casual evening is Houston's. Have you been there? No, um, but I've heard that's really good, too, and, It's wonderful. The only thing is you have to wait. You have, you have to e...
And, my husband really likes their ribs. So it's hysterical. We go in and we sit there for an hour waiting to get in and then we get there and we don't even look at the menu . You know right away what you want I know right away what we, what we want. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we really enjoy prime rib, too, and, uh, actually t...
but, I've never been there for dinner. And, it was good, yeah. Yeah, yeah Oh, that's great. That's, great. Another nice place for, for prime rib is Baby Doe's Oh, I've heard about that, too Maxwell's nice, have you been there? but no.
