 I Was cheating the snake stayed in dead as long as I had a bowl of everything Which so which hardware it's down the amount of your boys on early Yeah, I can say they pretty much established were Public television used to be I did that show a couple of times. Yeah, they do a lot of them. They do a lot of Well, I appreciate your coming down here Being hello Nice to see you. Oh gee. I told you I could you wait Oh All the best I Mean that's early, you know, we definitely be happy and you you know, we just all kind of It's nice to see you It's us kids over here No Well, it's not the same Early your days Yeah I guess you come back Yes Can I have that in life You just got back And I'll see you We figured in this area here between our families it's 99 years of life About 90 miles from Chicago We understand you have 77 slaves to your credit 77 while I was getting paid for it We were told it turned out to be 78 because the first time after a couple of years away I had a weekend out where I was I went there to swim The young fellow that worked in the stand in the bathhouse when I was lifeguard was now the lifeguard When I went down to the beach Have an old science swim. He said, I'm glad you're here. He said I don't want to get up to the bath house. He said Can you watch it from there? I said sure You wouldn't believe it You know we're having our annual lifesaving games in Galveston And and one of the things that we Like to do is next week. We'd like to proclaim the week swim narrow lifeguard week Because you know what we're trying to tell the public is if you're near a lifeguard you say And you prove that for us you prove that for us, you know It's uh You have been kind of a hero to us all along You know, I I I always tell a story mr. President and between you and I I said somebody lifeguards going to take over the world and I've been telling the story for 30 years And then you became president and you made my story true Well, I always said why I was lifeguarding. I don't know of any better place to really learn human nature than the beach If there's any ridiculous things they have They'll do it out there. Certainly we're not interact with people You know, you have to have with some authority would be kind of nice to them at the same time So let me ask you a question Where in the lake and I know out there in the ocean thing their problem is surf but I know there's always a spot or something a type of thing. What what is it in the lake? Where I mean lake lake michigan has is The change in weather in the lake becomes very dangerous when you get in northeaster So it's it's really it's way anywhere once you're yourself It would be certainly 10 foot surf on a strong northeaster My principal place was we had a dock ran out about a hundred feet in the river And we had a raft anchored upstream and they would start from here and against the current And that's when I got out very good swimmers and pretty soon you could see it coming when they began to slow down And the current was pushing and you know that thing when their head begins to go back You start to see these guys see the problems there is That's right, and then go get them You know that I think that the biggest thing about lifeguarding and I found it over the years that it's kind of two-fold Not only do you save lives, but you build men and women into really good adult people And they always go on to to serve their country or to serve the community because of the Responsibility they've learned while they were lifeguard quite proud of that When you're dedicated to it all your life, that's the way to feel about it If we could mr. President, we wanted to present you with an official United States Life Saving Association jacket. Well, thank you very much. We took the liberty of embroidering your life. The name you went by as a lifeguard. That's a lifeguard, right? And uh, here's an official lifeguard at the Thunder Whistle I had one of those to toots sometimes when they were beginning to get in the rough, having to get in the throwing people off the raft Well, thank you very much. Well, I have just some little souvenirs here You just some key rings with the seal. Oh, thank you very much Thank you for taking the time for us, I'll tell you our organization really appreciates us And we do naturally Well, I appreciate the Existence of the organization. Well, when the pictures come out, mr. President, if there's one that you approve They'd like to put it in the publication on the cover. If there's a national publication goes through all of the regions and 91 chapters throughout the country, but Well, we'll see the public awareness to spoon in your lifeguard to save the life we Yeah That's our job And all those people who don't know the think that why somebody that yell help I never heard one yell. No, no, they just mixed down. It was too late and you didn't see it. That's it Lifeguard knows that I remember a big husky guy Came out there and he was blind And his friends. Oh, he was muscle His friends would swim out and hang in the pylons under the dock and then call him and direct him And he was a flounder and looking at him. I said, oh boy I thought, what would you do? Yeah, and uh He got downstream after about the third time out and then panicked and It started and there he went And I went in and I was going to be really gingerly Getting his attention And uh All of a sudden made my statement touch me The easiest thing I ever did He just relaxed like a baby There he was actually down. I mean like I turned him around and crossed chest carry and brought him in him into show And then he dawned on being blind, of course when he felt a human hand And I do All of us I think you know what it's about Well, thank you again for the time And listen, thank you Thank you Mr. President An honor to meet you. It's been a pleasure. Thank you very much. It was a pleasure to meet you. Thanks again. Mr. President, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and Senator McClure. I am. Hello. Nice to see you. Mr. President, I'm good to see you. What am I? Mr. President, how are you? Good. Well, why don't we turn around here and get in? Oh, great. You can sit down. All right, I'll do good. It's always a good pleasure to meet you. Thank you very much. Well, now, Jim, now that he's retired for no reason, he's got the thing on good shame. If you put it really in good order, there's no reason why we can't sell it. Oh! Just tell it to some of my colleagues and other lawyers. Now that we're in the company of just this office, I just, if they'd come to me, I probably could have helped them a little bit. Some of the techniques that I might have walked in. Trouble is, as I was busy running and trying to save it or anything, Mr. President, that we didn't go about as well as we could have. There's some little different tax we might have taken in prep-saving performance. Overall, I know that you did a great job of making it run business-like. Well, thank you. Now, to remark, it was a matter of fact, I think we can point that out on that, because it's been indeed an incredible honor to serve you and the country and the people of the Pacific Northwest. I started in the Lucerne Recruiter to help me get started, because I'm a business man. I've been in the business community all my life. I've been my spouse. He helped me get into the business for Reagan Bush program. And so I covered Oregon, Washington, and Ohio School. Thank you. So I worked hard there, and one thing led to another. And Nancy Clark went out with one of my friends. And she had a floor in the secretary of words gave me this lovely job, and, of course, it began to plunge. But it's been a pleasure to serve you and work hard to try to make not only the country, but the country and the people of the Pacific Northwest. I think it's an answer I don't know. I appreciate you already done that. Just one second, just a couple of items. I want to tell you a few more years. I hope this is nice to you. OK, I'll tell you. I do admire what Nancy's doing for the country and the fact that drugs, I think, is really about a good program. Oh, jeez. And we could do the same thing for crime. I think we could have a lot of things like that. This is terrific. She really is taking up the bet. I'm just proud of one thing. She made a speech in Oakland to a bunch of kids, and some of the questions were kind of, what could they do with this? And she said something, just a little phrase as to what they could do, and now become a national organization under that time. Oh, is that what she said? She said something off the cuff. She said, just say no. Oh, that's wonderful. Yes. Isn't that wonderful? And there is now a nation-wide just say no. Just say no. Yeah. That's what I said. That's powerful. That's powerful. Yeah. Thank you very much. Thank you for taking the time. Thank you, Mr. President. I need an honor. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks. You're better. Thank you.
