Get rid of the nutso letters.

124

Then we'll do excerpts. The paper

125

00:

Bigger than

the mayor and the teacher.

-Negative, l think.

-Listen.

130

00:
12:02,346 -- 00:12:04,706

''lf only more men would have

the sensitivity. . .

131

00:
12:05,055 -- 00:12:07,525

. . .to talk about how they feel,

instead of. . .

132

00:
12:07,888 -- 00:12:09,878

. . .hiding behind

the Sports Channel--''

133

00:
12:10,221 -- 00:12:12,341

''My niece sent it to me.

134

00:
12:12,679 -- 00:12:14,719

lt might be from the same person.

135

00:
12:15,054 -- 00:12:17,014

So l'm enclosing it here. ''

136

00:
12:19,304 -- 00:12:20,104

What?

137

00:
12:21,721 -- 00:12:22,841

138

00:
12:24,012 -- 00:12:24,972

''Dear Catherine. ''

139

00:
12:25,471 -- 00:12:27,861

No. Are you kidding? Really?

140

00:
12:28,220 -- 00:12:30,210

Out loud. Read it out loud.

141

00:
12:33,220 -- 00:12:36,740

''Dear Catherine:

There isn't an hour without you in it.

142

00:
12:37,179 -- 00:12:39,089

l mend the boats, test them. . .

143

00:
12:39,428 -- 00:12:42,548

. . .and all the while

the memories come in like the tide.

144

00:
12:43,970 -- 00:12:45,960

l thought today

of when we were young. . .

145

00:
12:46,303 -- 00:12:48,973

. . .and you left our world

for a bigger world.

146

00:
12:49,345 -- 00:12:52,225

l was a lot more scared

than l would admit.

147

00:
12:52,803 -- 00:12:54,313

l fought my fear. . .

148

00:
12:54,636 -- 00:12:57,276

. . .by telling myself

you'd come back someday. . .

149

00:
12:57,636 -- 00:13:01,426

. . .and trying to think of the first

thing l'd say when l saw you again.

150

00:
13:01,844 -- 00:13:04,914

l must have tried out

1 00 possibilities.

151

00:
13:05,636 -- 00:13:07,546

What did l finally say?

152

00:
13:07,886 -- 00:13:09,036

Not much.

153

00:
13:09,344 -- 00:13:12,464

My mouth wouldn't work,

except to kiss you.

154

00:
13:13,677 -- 00:13:15,717

When you said, 'l'm here to stay' . . .

155

00:
13:16,052 -- 00:13:17,692

. . .that said it all.

156

00:
13:18,719 -- 00:13:20,309

Well, l'm doing it again.
