I was informed then and I have been informed since that as soon as this medical treatment was successfully completed that his intention was to leave and I have not encouraged him to leave he was free to come here for medical treatment and he will leave on his own volition Mr. Carter also said his decision to admit the Shah for medical treatment was his own that he was not pressured into it and that he does not regret it at all Shaw now has his doctors O to leave his hospital room in New York as soon as he wants to they say his golfstone operation was a success ABC Jules Bergman tells us there's a plane at Kennedy Air owned by Mexico's state oil company standing ready to fly the Shah back to Quinevaca Now this this is Phil and for me the game is hockey whatever your game is whether it's on ice a tennis court, a golf course. Youre a pro or an amateur whose sport is just a hobby. You know that sports are a big part of life throughout the world. But for many people with M multiple scosis, sports are something other people play, not them. Many can even watch their favorite sport on TV because M affects vision as well as speech. SomeMS patients can't even walk or move. MS is the mysterious crippler of young adults. Striking usually between the ages of 20 and 40, much too young to sit out the rest of your life in a pely box. The sad thing is there's no cure yet, but there's hope for a cure to research. I'm proud to have joined the athletes versus MS team now, how about you joining us? Support your local chapter of the National Multi Scosis Society. This is Phil as youino saying, thank you. The Ayatollahhoini today appointed Islamic Revolutionary Council member and hardlinrs Zzzadi as foreignign minister of Iranzdi displaces Abuhassanny Sner in Tehran we asked ABC's Jerry King what that might mean to the UN Security Council's debate on the crisis scheduled for the Saturday the general view here among observers is that the old For secretary was fired in effect for his decision to go to the United Nations while the Ayatollahhoini was of course criticizing the UN as being under American control and therefore he indicated he wanted no part of it it is expected that the new For secretary the third in three weeks will not be going to the United Nations that he will be adopt. harder more in line with the Iya correspondent King views the appointment of hardlineer Gaza as Kini's answer to President Carter's news conference even before that news conference was held George Hannen arrived back home tonight the Idaho Republican congressman who visited some of the American hostages in Tehran last weekend says he's convinced only a congressional investigation of the Shah could bring any hope of freeing them ask if dull Air outside Washington how sure he is that such a probe would have that result Hannen replied they can't be on a quid quo basis because they will not accept anything like that you saw there were signs that says no deals no negotiation so it have to be on a basis that wages something that serves our interests cares our good name but on the other hand it might make a possible. For us to call on them to do the same.

This is ABC News New radio meteorologists are calling for clear, windy and cold tonight with temperatures near 30 and upper 20s and surrounding areas. tomorrowrow, partly the mostly sunny, still cold weather though with a high of only near. And Thursday night clear and cold temperatures near 30 Friday sunny with temperatures in the low 50s right now we have clear skies and 39 degrees at news radio I'm Tedgosky WgST news radio 92 outside warm you are very comfortable as you settle for the final 254 I was hoping to catch today's news on the disaster Antctica. But it's been on the news all day, but they're obviously not playing it tonight, you can see the world news covers the whole of the United States and of course now Iran, but usually very little else. I first had first thing this morning, Beverly had already called me before I got to work at 815 and then they added the drama that Edmund Hillary had been on board but then they managed to like Kate him and St Louis Missouri and he came on the radio and discussed well just what his feelings were he said that it was a woolly place to be that. quiite a dangerous place to be flying around so he wasn't on board, but we have had no other news except that except of course that there were eight Americans on board and we just sort of wonder who was, I guess there would be mostly tourists perhaps Japanese and so on, but I guess it's bound to be some New Zealand isn't there that perhaps we even know it was just so sudden and so tragic. It's a big year disaster on world standards. So that really wasn't a very happy day. I'm sure things are pretty unsettled down there over there. Anyway, so how's everything, obviously Or takes precedence over everything else right now. There's songs out that are really quite humorous, we've got one that says take your oil and sve it and all kinds of other little lyrics that are interesting and others report that Uncle Sam's getting mad and that it says send all the students once it send all the students home and how are they like walking a mile on the sand for a camel be. And on that one says tell the, I mean tell the ayatola to take his oil on Charlotte in his holy place, they're quite uns of these radio stations have the sounds of it. Anyway, so what was going to happen there, we don't know but the. Wve of jokes in the countryside, either about the Iyatollah or Teddy Kennedy and just a few of them to cheer up dead in hospital. I was really sad when I got your letter and heard that he was going to be in hospital for so long. You it seemed that his foot was healing okay when he left here, we thought so and you't has it got worse or did they decide that the best thing was to operate? But anyway, just a couple of little jokes to cheer you up, apparently the latest watches being sold in Boston, Massachusetts are waterproof for secretaries. There' apparently Teddy Kennedy's also got a new chauffeur. And his name is Jacque Custo. The other one goes at the good news and the bad news. The good news is that the Ayatollah has agreed to release the hostages in exchange for Jane Fonder, who has agreed to go. But the bad news is that Tddy Kennedy is taking her to the airport. I thought that was pretty good. Ruth and Georgia came around this evening to see the apartment, which was really quite funny because they only arrived in another a time because Missus Elsson called yesterday. And we can move on Sunday, and I called the landlady here, And she said that it's okay for us to leave without any extra rent after the third, which was the months that we'd said we'd be here, but we were meant to give two weeks notice. So we thought, well, let's get out. So we're moving on Sunday. That's why I thought I'd better get on with the estate because I may not get time over the weekend to get one made.. But anyway, Ruth and Georgia came round for a drink tonight and bought little Elottie, who was just the cutest little thing she had on her. We read Duffel coat, which she looked like little red hooding ride. And she is just so funny. She just walks like Jimmy. you know how fast and sort of how fast he walks in and walks near slowly. He sort of walk briskly and fast and Eliots just entered everything and flat out round the house in and out and and out and walks just like Jimmy, I couldn't believe it. just great me out. And so they came around and we cleaned up a half gallon of wine and had a few laughs that was really quite good George' had all the haircut offsho. And. The kids enjoyed seeing little Els and so on she looked all around and poked her eyes. And she, she really gives you big cuddles now and she misses us when we leave. Oh if we're over there, you know, whatever. Although doph doesn't know whether she's coming or guy. Anyway, what's been happening since I last send a tape, it must have been last week sometime. And what did we do last weekend Oh god, Yeah, that was before Thanksgiving. So well, say I must' to send a over about Tuesday or something like that while. Thursday, of course, was a holiday for Thanksgiving and we went to have our Thanksgiving dinner was. My two friends that I run was Vicky and Allison well Vicky's a person who's very, very organizedised and has everything ready kind of the day before and likes everything to be on time and everything and Allison's completely the opposite and she's sort of you know into everything you know into health food and all that sort of stuff and she's a vegetarian so she decided that we were going to have an organic turkey if you please so. By the time Wednesday, just before Thanksgiving came turkeys, frozen turkeys were running at about 59 cents pound, which you know is extremely cheap, but you could get them from about 89 from 59 to 89 you could get real nice turkeys, but Aliceison wanted her organic turkey and everyone elseWe're all taking something. Anyway, so I was put on. Deserts, but anyway, Aliison went to find out about her organic turkey, and she discovered that that would be $2 a pound. So that the organic turkey went out the window. I'm mean they vegetarians and don't eat meat anyway, that they will resort to white me. So the organic turkey went out the window, and then she said oh, it still had to be a fresh one. so she wanted to get up the day before. And finally she. On the Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, she couldn't get a fresh turkey and ended up turning up at Vickyies with a frozen bunny monster. Vicky just about died because they'd take about a week to thaw these dumb birds. Anyway, Vicky was hopping they hadn't here and that fight like oh John was just amused by the door. And they really get go one another hammer and tongue. It's really quite funny. And they're just so opposite sudden yet.. You know, they're really good friends, so. on then the meal came, or course Allison decided that she's real funny about her children mostly in the start and both her kidss have never had any sugar or anything that she can set as as bad for them, but I think that the fact that I don't have any meat is pretty unbalanced, however she fills them up with vitamins and all that. And. She said to me that would through Vicki, I got a mis because not being on the phone, the but awkward you know and I don't get chance to call people on some. They can only call me at work and I'm really not there that much. And Vicki said that Alison thought itd been nice if I to the desserts and that she had some special recipe for apple pie, which did not require any sugar and we both agreed that that sounded just all just so anyway and then in the next breath she said to me that they had both thought that it was there any particular New Zealand dessert that was traditional that I could make Well I just about curled up when I told Beverly and Marshall what I'm in immediately with all that sugar naturally the New Zealand to have la and of course Kiwi fruit in here at the moment at 59 cents. 89 of some places. And so I just laughed I said to Vicky well it's just no way that Aliison could pala in a mouth it's solid sugar. So this the day before Thanksgiving I was talking to Aliison and she gave me the recipe for the apple pie without the sugar which I had been going to buy a couple of pie crust I couldn't be bother making them mum was working right up to the day and then she made the comment that she wasn't regret good at making pie crust though would I and asked oh hell I can't buy them I'll make them so I made the vampire crust and then she told me that she always leave the skin on the. of course, everybody can really turn their nose up a bit picking out. but it' ci good from bit tea. And then you have to exchange the sugar for honey. So I had to do that. Well, I, and then of course she also asked me about this traditional New Zealand dessert it knowing it was stirs and said that I didn't think that she would be able to put a spoonful of it on her mouth. And she said, why, And I said, well, it's just light the sugar there Aliceison And she said, oh well, never mind, she said, substitute the sugar. Well Mara barely just thought that was the biggest tea. I mean, what would you got left if you substitutes sugar and a pa over. Anyway, so she said finally she obviously thought it sounded quite nice when she heard about the kiwi fruit it and everythingca she quite likes them and she said oh well you know the children don't need to have it, they have the apple pie and I thought well poor our kids are missing out well naturally you can imagine what happened the kids didn't one on you this apple pie and they all wanted the pe over. So it really was quite funny so we went around there on the Thursday at about four or five in the afternoon and we really had a nice time. Vicky had a date there and Allson and Stan were there there you know a couple and Allison has two little girls and Vicky has a child also so we had all the kids and they had a little table of their own and she had all the silver and crystalry and everything out and we really had a nice time it was really very nice and on the Friday John went to work for Roy Johnson just sort of privately you know the lab was closed but he worked at his house and in his office etc. And I was supposed to get to week, but Bob was spaced out or something and didn't, you know kind of show or whatever so I didn't end up going in. And he said that, you know, could I come out and week on Sunday, well, I got I decided I'd just pop out I and he wasn't there in the morning and then I went out. And he was had a friend dance the door, and he was spaced out on the couch. So I gave that a must and just went to work on Monday as normal. So we really had Friday often, Becky came over. And as I say, John at worked. So we. got the kids and went to see Sleeping Bea which they really enjoyed, they just sat and true Americans now we have to have a box of popcorn to go to the movies with Melforded Batter on and that's real good popcorn I must have met. And they sat there absolutely enthralled, they really thoroughly enjoyed it so did Viy and I actually. And. Well, then on Saturday, what happened on the Saturday. It think we did. Great yeah, I've been writing my diary up regularly enough and it's really starting to bug me because I get to the point I'm telling you things on the tape and I haven't even got them down in my diary, which is very annoying when I can't think about them later. And. I don't know what the w is at Saturday. I'm going to hit the play. Well. I we still trying of think, I guess we didn't do too very much that said it kind have been that interesting, right? Guess I'd remember. However, I do remember what happened the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. And that was I went back to the good doctor to have my teeth attended to again. another I got there at 230. And I finally could close my mouth and get out of the chair at 530 it was three hours. Of having my mouth wide open with all kinds of equipment on it and that good doctor for asking me questions which I found impossible to answer with the position that I was in. However, what he did was remove the five temparies from the bottom tees and replace them mostly the new crowns, which are very beautiful. And it gave me instant relief from the constant sort of pain that I'd had from them, they just sort of an a really, the nerves aren't covered quite properly when you have the temp reason because they're kind of rough you know, they make them in a few minutes. And. One I, the mono put the grounds on the, you know, the whole thing just there was I could eat again and so on. But I didn't realize he was going to prep my top teaies at the same time. And he did two bat teeth four bat teeth at the top. And my front tooth. Well I couldn't resist it when I'd had that front tooth carved off. I knew I'd been working on it. And I said to Gail on earth, can I have the mirror. You should sure Well I nearly die. boy, I talk about Halloween. anyway, Finally in came Don the guy that he's just around us to will make you know, makes the actual final crown for you, and they do an incredible job. They stain them the right colour and really make a. It's very detailed work to get it exactly right. Well, he came and hum and young Don that works out there a little young cha with kill here. they came them with dead pan faces as straight as one thing. And they as though they were come to a normal patient and said, yes, you know, open, please and all that. And as soon as I hoped my mouth, they both went to gillds and he carry on. And I just felt so awful, I could hit them over the head drew my hand up over my mouth and wasn't going to let them look on again. And I. Jonathan, I do that to location, Roy Johnson wouldn't have anybody going back because boy, do you feel gross and it mustt be awful and people had three and four teeth down at the front because it really looks funny. Anyway, so that took an awful long time to do all that. And then you put the temporaries and well I'm just amazed you know the back one's fine, you know they're going to be brilliant and stuff but it doesn't really, really show that your front teeth I'm very conscious of that and it's just incrediblecr, I can't believe how good the temporary is naturally the permanent one will be 100% on this. So far so good now that's what that's 1110 teeth he's done so far and he told John I think that he's got about another four or five he wants to do so they should look pretty good when they're finished so that was the Wednesday I was you having them on because I said I wasn't going to be able to eat my Thanksgiving turkey dinner but as it turned out I was much more comfortable than I had been when the bottom teeth had been prepped only I didn't think I would be with you both top and bottom. F is because I've been eating like a rubber for about a week. But it really wasn't quite as bad as all there, I guess there's not as much pressure on the top naturally, and it just doesn't seem quite so painful. Well, I don't know whether actually told you in last week's they've gone up, but the car finally turned up in a physical shape and all silver and looking very nice. And Frank Crane, the guy that we're dealing with in Australian chat whom, by the way, thank you for the clipping. We're going to take them to him tomorrow on Sean because he's a little Australianbleer and. Anyway, he had it all jet up we could probably have picked it up last week, Bob had one ordered too but he turns his down and took a masterzda which is more expensive, it's a pretty nice open car and it's more than Bob can afford and I don't know whether he's going to be to meet the payment, but in mind that's his problem. th he keeps my salary coming in I'm not worry Me anyway so we sort of didn't worry too much about it last week because of the holiday period and so on and then this week we've been looking around for insurance because there's so many different areas that you can get insurance from here you know really wide range and the price varies so much but it turns out really that we come to the a lot of companies won't us at all because we haven't proven on Georgia for two years we don't have Georgia to driver us licenses and of course then that's the accident but. Anyway, we finally. Most of the companies that will ensure you put you into the category of under 25 and all that stuff so you know that makes it really high and it looked like at one point being $1000 of the year but John managed to you know he ran around a prim more place and we managed to get that down considerably so you know we're much happier today that. We've got a reasonable amount of insurance is awfully expensive and a lot more expensive than home. on much less expensive cars, but it's very high so you know we were reasonably happy and the bank came through with the money we picked that up. The other day and we think now that he finally got the insurance policy tonight, you can't remove the car from the lot of course when you've got a loan on it without insurance its all you can't anywhere a new car because it's the law here that it must be insured. We shall pick it up tomorrow and. Enjoy it, but we'd had a letter and that sort of brings me to Christmas time we had a letter from Ruth Ann inviting us for Christmas again and we had decided that we wouldn't go because we were going to be moving into the Olss about the 15th and on that. Fcially and all the rest of it, we just felt that we couldn't, but then when we sorted it all out and't now that we've got the car and know where we are, et andnda moving into the oceans really two weeks earlier. We've just decided tonight that we will probably go through to St. Louis for Christmas because we did enjoy it last year it was really nice and they went to a terrific amount of travel. So Miss Ol actually called yesterday and said that the. The house would be available on Sunday, the people are moving out on Saturday and when I discovered that we wouldn't have to pay extra rent here, we decided that we'd move we had thought we'd been the week cleaning it up, but we'll do it while we're in there for nothing rather than paying rent here So we're on the move on Sunday eight yet again on Saturday we've got meetland Dey Townend you know remember you I think I explained you before kill the coach the state legislator, his wife called to say that they were having a little party for the boys at the Howard Johnson you know the. And they have sodas and they present trophies and certificates if you please and goodness knows what and they get out the soccer photos and she just thinks make one's gorgeous and she said that we will be so thrilled with the photograph it's just gorgeous so I can't wait to see it and I send went off to you as soon as I get them. Anyway. Mr.. Oh yeah, so we be going to the party at the Howard Johnsons on Saturday then. Oh I've got to go to the church on Saturday they we're selling point statue which of course are Christmas potplan flower or whatever here, and I decided to get them for barely and Ruy and Masha so and pick them up and deliver all my Christmas point sat. You can get them in three different colors here there's red. Pink and one they call marble, which is green and white. And but I stuck to the red because it's the most Christmasy looking colorss, I think I'm about to. Run out of tape, so I may well. I wonder, we just have a look. Now I'm up to 360 at Mu go to 400. And. Anyway, so I'll do a lot of those men on Sunday will'll move into the cottage. I actually went to the bill today and got the telephone. And we've had the power transferred over. And. The bell people have given us a number but there is one complication I've been holding my Christmas letter mailing because of it and there's one complication that apparently when you go to use the phone the number may not be. compatible with the computer in which case they have to give you another number so there's that slight chance and you don't know that until the very day that it's put on and you start to use it so I'll try and get my Christmas mail away on Tuesday but it'll be nice we'll be able to get our Christmas tree up on Monday that kids they'll enjoy there and Ruthy and Georgia are going to come around again next Wednesday and see the other house it seems to be weekly event of guided tours for them. Rucy had a good time at Thanksgiving, they all went up to North Carolina to her sister's place. There of course, took Elot, who apparently did not s one win the whole truck and jumped all over Ruthy and obviously drove Ruthy and saying. Just about more of the she can handle. And Magji is a real live wire of a child. And. Anyway, what else has been happening? Beverly's got a rotary exchange student staying with them at the moment from New Zealand she is actually I think the daughter of some friends of their whom she hasn't seen in 20 years and the kid of course has got photographs of her parents with her and Bverly's you quite thrilled to have her there. Andash has been. Busly as usual, I don't know what she's doing, but she's been busy. And. What else has there hit me? The. I can't think of anything Annienie's on here at the moment from those chorus line two big Broadway shows actually I think I might take if I can still pretty much the seats are pretty much sold out but it's so expensive anyway they're 15 that I might just take Rachel and we may cause all the choirs going and she sort of feels you know they obviously a bit older and make one lot and she would probably enjoy it I think so her and I just might go to your matinee one day because we can sit up in the gods for about $6 I think if we can get in at the last summer up because we won't be able to go this weekend. And I guess it would be well worth seeing the sham show. And. Oh, we. It think we've been doing a hell of a lot else, really. What's been happening on the murder scene here, anything particularly interesting we've had oh well you know that, or did you know that Thes was found guilty on nearly every count that they had him up on and so was the girl that, Was involved as secretary, whatever and another guy. So he was kicking up Boby down. of course, there'll be 20 years of appeals and goodness nice work because he really got a pretty stuff sentence too. I hadn't been keeping track of the. tririal day by day John had been reading and so had Jimmy and both of them felt that he may well get off because he had a pretty good case whether it was the truth or not, he had a pretty good case, but of course Ruth and I who hadn't been keeping track of the trial felt that you know he was. Would get a guilty sentence purely because the guys obviously crooking. But. He was guilty and John Jimmy were surprised. I were a lot of people, really. I mean, he had the best lawyers in the countrys got on the money that he requires to pay for it on. And. So it's the end of so far. But I guess you'll probably find a way out of it all. And. Potically here, the other candidates are sort of standing back of it right now because Carter has got the limelight pretty much with this Iranian deal. He certainly has got the limelight all the candidates had started doing their publicity stunts and of course they're absolutely quashed by all us they really can't say very much you know as they normally would, the Iyatollola the Shah and Carterter and Kisinger have got the limelight and. The others really haven't, you know, they've got to support the president at this time. And even the newspapers are supporting the prison, difficultiess getting behind Uncle Sam, you know, it can only do Carda good and he's had to cancel a hill of a lot of. traraveling that he would normally have done at this time, but Rosin's doing it for him and you've probably been reading how she's getting a really good rating as the first lady and so she's very well received all over the country and she's a very powerful little lady. So Carter's getting sort of really good. Publicity because he's sort of holding off, I think everybody has the feeling they want to get on in there and shoot a up or something and get those hostages out. But at the same time you know you're dealing with. ly religious nuts and. Working with them, we know what that's fine. It's that all I can do to hold off and try and keep the peace for a while, and it sounds today like the show might be leaving. I'm about to run out so we'll see on the other side. I'm going to bed also it's well after midnight at this point, I'll try and get a little bit kids on the tape tomorrow my morning. By all. Oh deal, right, side too, it's now Thursday, the must be the 29th of November. And I've just run on to work because his battery is flat on his motorbike. No he'd bring that thing inside it night't but a blanket either the don't think if he could, but he's having trouble with this bad, I gather something to do with coming over on the. Being freighted over here the crowd in California I think had charged the battery or something and it was. Something you shouldn't do and so they're about to get a replacement so he's going to run that in today and picking up the prelude today, so we'll drop him off at the same time. Anyhow, well we were up at 5 AM this morning because we were dying to get the morning paper which we have delivered by the way every day now because we haven't had television since we moved and it's wonderful we read the paper from cover to cover and you know that's like here but I've even taken to doing the crosswords mother but I need your help because even the dictionary that I have resort to my Oxford dictionary with regular and every time I resort to my dictionary I hear not supposed to use the dictionary but I often when I think that remember her using one from time to time but mum certainly would get a lot of the things but I don't know because she's done them for so long I might start sending you some of these American ones anyway we were up real early because we were dying to get the paper and see what the story was and you know we're just so upset about this air crash it's go across this morning's paper splash is the fourth worst air accident in the world, which really is pretty bad for a country the size of New Zealand. Point out, so I guess he's probably lost somebody else. U. Anyway, you know, I hope. God, I hope that there's nobody that we young. Particularly. Not very well at all, but you know, 200 people throughout the country were bound to have somebody that we know you know wanting to hear, of course they've listed the Americans, they won't ever list the rest of the people, so you'll have to let us know. Well, I can just hear that there are two little Perry surfacing and so perhaps we can have a nice message for dad to get well in hospital real fast and be home for Christmas because he's got to be there to see all the things from Father Christmas opened. I told you taking John to week this morning it's room niy out there last week we had unusually warm weather it was into the 80s and this week it's dropped down suddenly into the 30s and the 50s during the day you know it's always pretty cool at night now but it really warms up nicely during the day and this week we've got a really cool lump. Bll of weather, I must have admit it's quite nice to have these, I'd rather have sudden. old patches and then warming up again and just cold all the time and you know it still can rise up into the 70s and 80s. Without any trouble, it'll just be a couple of days and then we'll be back into warm and weather again. Anyway? Well, it was meatland that had surfaced and he's just come out here with all his clothes and he's about to talk to Greendad and make him feel better, you want to say something bad? Come and say something, he's just woken up. He said, hellello, Grand, hello, I want to talk properly so that he can hear you hello, hello. What are you about to tell him that's something interesting, how about you tell him about Brian and what Brian wears and what you would like? Talk up here, sorry because you can't hear you if you don't talk into the microphone. What's fine God? He's got a. Big rhstone jacket. A rhstone jacket. And is it real nice and would you like one boy What are you going to tell Rnda about you want to tell them about Rachel? And. You want to tell him about the grease lightning? Already wants to know that Bri lightning, are you going to tell them? Well, I don't know that we can get much out of Maitland right now as as he's not going to do, thank you boy. They just no from carrying on. You've got nothing you really want to stay at all, Be. Well goodness me I think I' go and get Na's later and see if there's anything on that I' better tell her about oh hell yes the smashed onescreen well that was fun I hope you didn't get too big a f that you didn't run off the road and praying the car or anything because it can be very dangerous doing things like that. And you know, I really don't think other families do have quite such a dramas as we seem to anyway, by now the carpets will bempmp and dot will have helped you move the furniture. I'm sure she'll be a big help with the plants and plants too, and I can just imagine dad lying in the hospital worrying about all these trees and plants and who's looking after them and who's watering and spraying and carrying on, but I'm sure that they will all survive if they're healthy and Dorothy can take care of them I'm sure she's got seems to have more green fingers than anybody else in the family. Nice to know that you've met Terry's. Girlfriend, that sounds nice and fancy taking dead brainy snaps in hospital you were getting to travel it reminds me of when you all bought me stuff in Palmerston and you weren't supposed to. What else have we got here Yes Tony and Alaine well welcome home Tony and Aileine and I just hope that you like it and youve picked the time of course of the year to come home all for the summer get away from that cold Vancouver weather. And. I hope you settle down okay and that everything's well with you. I imagine that you have neither of you have got jobs unless you arranged something before you came, so I went home again, so I hope that that's no big deal we haven't heard. Her hard work is to get at home. Lately. . You haven't had time to write to Joanard, but I wouldn't worry, she won't be worrying and you must just keep yourself all together. tryry and get on, no I laughed about you going off to the theatre and David getting all emotion or way the hex mum and't do things like that. Just shows you that you never want to be too sure. And. Now this Norman Guston sounds lucky he's a real screen the photographs made of them said to me is he trying to smile in those photographs that just showed he's one of those people a funny way out saying oh when you mentioned Marvin. Having interviewed Lee Marvin and I noticed that the lawyer that was in his defense, I mean in his divorce case was or whatever it was with his little friend is also handling Nickick Jaggers and Banca's divorce and he's now also got an Arabian. Pntnce who married a British girl 18 years ago who changed the name and became a Muslims and she's after just a mere $22 billion and the Marvinson or whatever his name is or the Marl man who's the lawyer, said that we're dealing here with a man who's got a lot of matney and the eyebrows were raised at the amount he wanted but the guy is worth at least $44 billion and he'd bought his little girlfriend from Paris, a yacht for $20 million and his own yacht was worth $40 million so I guess that he has got a few barb. Mett Ratter do you mean that he's going independent he's not running for a Maori seat he'll be completely independent I wonder how much chance he will have you know just as that but I guess he'll get the Maori vote away from the Maori. See if he's going independent of them. We hadn't actually seen that movie with Eleanorder, we'd seen the one and I can't think what the name of it was now but it was about Washington and he was running for President or Senatenate seat or something and it was quite good but I preferred him, it was more of a serious part, he made the odd pun, but it really was more of a serious part. He played and I really prefer him as the comedian that he is a mash and I don't know whether you've heard that it is gossip up here that he may be taking over the Johnny Carson show when he retires next year. And could be quite good, I would thank you J and you everybody likes some. And so you know it could be quite a good please don't worry about getting too much away for Christmas because we really don't need it in the sweaters or when they come we be just fantastic you've really got onto those so quickly and I'm real grateful about there and we looking forward to getting them. Oh Golly Marsh, did I tell you about Mar in cards I think I'm invited that she posted them off by sea and they all to ride see you dad yours too, so you were part of the they must have gone by Emma. Oh Maitland's just asked me to move so that he can do his jigsaw puzzle just okay, Maitland. Happy now, you can do your Star War js or puzzle. . Now when you mention unless later, the finance is a holy innocence. Well you I think I told you about that in the last tape but they finally got to me they said that they were going to have a follow up I think I told you were a contact person and so I finally thought well I'll get them with a small donation before they had to contact me and even if it's small they can't really bring you after that so I sent off $50 to them we just sort of felt that we had to send something. So that's better than nothing that doesn't compare with obviously what the rest of the congregations. But never mind, we have to give from the heart, don't we? Anyway, I hope everything's okay mum don't worry and you've got all the family there now and it's you know, it must be nicer to have. A few more people around June to help you on Carls Day, etc. I hope that, you know I was thrilled I just said to John last night I'm so pleased you put that little cassette tape and I don't know why I started suddenly deciding that it was quicker to make a take than to send than to write letters it's just kind of easy you didn don't have to sit down and start writing and I'm pleased I did that because at least you can take them into the hospital for that to listen to and he can listen to them over and over if he doesn't get too bored with my dull voice going on and on but. So that little cassette thing will be fun and I guess he could take you can take in those cassettes that he bought over here that he can listen to as well so anyway I'll finish now and try and get Rachel out of bed and see if she'll come and say something to you on this time that final. 257 people on a sightseeing tour to Antarctica, harsh conditions of the terrain and weather have kept helicopters from the U base at McMurdo Sound from landing there.
