Patty: — Hello, Grandpa, I was really glad to hear from you. I
hope you get a lot better, so — and um — I'm really happy here. This
is the best place I've ever been. We have lots of sports, and your favorite
sport, baseball. We play that all the time, too. But I'm on — I play volleyball
a lot, and basketball too. And we have a real good education, and I'm getting
training in medicine, and I'm learning how to — I'm planning to be a nurse
or a doctor, maybe, when I grow up. And it's really funny, this — (smiling
voice) this is really the best place to be. And I'm really happy here. And I
was really glad to hear you. And (pause) I don't know. It's just — just
so fun here, and everything. All my friends are here, and I'm glad to hear that
Patrick and Scott have grown up really well, and how they're having fun in school
and how S — Patrick is on the soccer team and all. And it's just really,
really fun here. And uh — (Pause) and uh — (tape edit) (unintelligible
word) also, we have all these beautiful plants that you pay for it there, they
just — they just come out the jungle and they grow really well here. And
it's just so beautiful and everything. I'm very sorry you couldn't come with
Carol, 'cause I'd like to see you, but it's really nice out, it's just the best
place I've ever been. (Pause)

could read books from, we could study anything we wanted to learn about, we
could — you know, it's free for us to use. We have — Like Patty said,

all that kind of stuff, and um — It is really beautiful here and um, I'm
sorry that you couldn't come — you — you couldn't come along with
