If you were called in 2013 somehow I was nominated for 13 00:01:07,00 --> 00:01:13,71 the Hall now I think Mr Hurd did I did teach but I didn't write got 14 00:01:13,72 --> 00:01:18,70 anywhere near the rest of the people that nominated but that time I said it the 15 00:01:18,71 --> 00:01:25,00 person that needed to be recognized was my dad. And I was ordered to scratch. 16 00:01:26,36 --> 00:01:33,31 The nomination and just maybe. I would be very good with that 2 years later I also 17 00:01:33,32 --> 00:01:34,03 said it probably 18 00:01:34,04 --> 00:01:40,89 a 3 siblings. And Susie had been one of the 19 00:01:40,90 --> 00:01:45,47 nominated one of the siblings because she was a classroom teacher for years 20 00:01:46,40 --> 00:01:48,43 a lot of people asked and teachers not really 21 00:01:48,44 --> 00:01:55,23 a blast and the media really didn't want to be very sure of it enough to draw. I'm 22 00:01:55,24 --> 00:02:00,34 happy to listen. To both of us these days and then shoot one. 23 00:02:02,59 --> 00:02:07,75 Of the From. This very bunch to the right as the movie is. 24 00:02:09,82 --> 00:02:16,40 You know Connelly it's appropriate that we're honored they added onto the stage 25 00:02:17,03 --> 00:02:21,12 and which he mentions and they had envisioned for have been long hospital and it 26 00:02:21,16 --> 00:02:26,82 was you know the high school. So I just threw the ball and. 27 00:02:28,13 --> 00:02:34,71 You know I asked. Why I didn't want. This job in these programs and he told 28 00:02:34,72 --> 00:02:38,07 me he said I feel younger than everybody else. 29 00:02:45,08 --> 00:02:50,33 And I get behaviors longer lives being in being in the legislature and he's not of 30 00:02:50,34 --> 00:02:55,75 Congress Water state legislature but I heard this one time about it was pretty 31 00:02:55,76 --> 00:03:01,11 clear you know we. Good service slow the aging process we had to work its way 32 00:03:01,12 --> 00:03:07,90 through Congress was. Look at your posts that have 33 00:03:07,91 --> 00:03:08,30 attended 34 00:03:08,31 --> 00:03:15,08 a law is not easy for us here. Reminds me of 4 stages while the 1st stage 35 00:03:15,09 --> 00:03:21,87 is you believes in it was the 2nd spared if you don't know it was in. The 3rd 36 00:03:22,87 --> 00:03:29,07 you are saying it was. You What was it was. 37 00:03:31,73 --> 00:03:36,37 My response was the very paper it will talk about their biggest band is 38 00:03:36,38 --> 00:03:43,16 a war. With. 39 00:03:44,65 --> 00:03:50,76 On the whole this is the civilians and the daughter and I was charged with maybe 40 00:03:50,77 --> 00:03:56,03 even the way or the other to do I would say in what way. 41 00:03:58,89 --> 00:04:05,69 If there were here each year I want to recognize the person all this is 42 00:04:05,80 --> 00:04:09,65 that. He. Were 43 00:04:09,66 --> 00:04:16,12 a partnership or he was who over 6 feet tall she 44 00:04:16,13 --> 00:04:23,11 was under the fall. And he described himself as 45 00:04:23,12 --> 00:04:29,76 a country boy. She was and suddenly. There were many 46 00:04:29,77 --> 00:04:36,69 ways there is. One man in each other and you need to know about how it 47 00:04:36,70 --> 00:04:43,25 will spring when no one's. Mom was it who made 48 00:04:43,26 --> 00:04:49,11 it big in. Me. And is. 49 00:04:50,38 --> 00:04:55,87 This you who even looked under 8 and this people as much as she it. 50 00:04:57,19 --> 00:04:59,40 I believe our inspiration was 51 00:04:59,41 --> 00:05:04,94 a factor. In this fashion which is will all of us. 52 00:05:11,60 --> 00:05:17,36 Working in this hour is to enrich education Walkmans in the 53 00:05:18,20 --> 00:05:24,09 wraps kept in the wall.

He's here he asked 62 00:06:12,82 --> 00:06:16,09 not to speak so what I've done is I have 63 00:06:16,10 --> 00:06:22,99 a letter that he wrote almost 30 years ago this one. I think it gives us out in the 64 00:06:23,00 --> 00:06:29,94 end maybe somebody you don't know and I work with are with this one. The. 65 00:06:31,25 --> 00:06:37,02 A hero 3 weeks ago most of you didn't know him as he has not recently been to the 66 00:06:37,03 --> 00:06:38,58 news or on t.v. 67 00:06:39,02 --> 00:06:45,99 He was my favorite teacher.

The oarsmen would love to 77 00:07:26,23 --> 00:07:31,64 hunt and fish he was very badly and supported the local college teams right. 78 00:07:32,95 --> 00:07:38,25 Throughout his adult life he was physical but his spirit was never broke if you 79 00:07:38,26 --> 00:07:44,21 realize the extent of this. Between the age of 3342 saw the numerous intestinal 80 00:07:44,22 --> 00:07:49,90 problems was. As nonspecific way to. 81 00:07:51,42 --> 00:07:55,32 Not racially before me spent several ones in different hospitals with the condition 82 00:07:55,33 --> 00:08:00,59 us considered serious. After his retirement the physical problems never seemed to 83 00:08:00,60 --> 00:08:02,03 lead there was 84 00:08:02,04 --> 00:08:09,00 a prostate operation. And both an operation performed on an aneurism closest 85 00:08:09,44 --> 00:08:12,22 to others and this just.

In that rather delicate operation this 91 00:08:37,94 --> 00:08:44,61 it just wasn't what was expected to be through with really. A series of problems 92 00:08:45,30 --> 00:08:52,28 in that area it was just. The neurosurgeon discovered needed to be chipped away 93 00:08:52,32 --> 00:08:55,65 with more than most healthy individuals. Or 94 00:08:55,66 --> 00:09:00,36 a few days here all had gone well let's see the weakness returned it was much more 95 00:09:00,37 --> 00:09:07,36 severe he left the hospital several weeks later as.

The rest of. 97 00:09:15,57 --> 00:09:22,16 It you know after months of rehabilitation and much of what it began walking in 98 00:09:23,04 --> 00:09:23,49 he was never 99 00:09:23,50 --> 00:09:31,39 a wall.

With his deep religious 111 00:10:38,46 --> 00:10:43,52 faith he did not fear that is why the 3 children never ceased to be amazed that 112 00:10:43,53 --> 00:10:43,87 this was 113 00:10:43,88 --> 00:10:50,15 a. Really good annoyance during his last days the family the sons of his bed with 114 00:10:50,16 --> 00:10:55,72 the expectation he would not make it through the night only to see him once more he 115 00:10:55,73 --> 00:11:02,63 would occasionally say I'm doing about. 33 hours.
