00:00:01.020 --> 00:00:03.780 align:middle line:84%
I'm sure it will be hard for
you to believe that I only

00:00:03.780 --> 00:00:07.740 align:middle line:84%
have one announcement
and that is

00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:11.460 align:middle line:84%
that the final reading
for this semester

00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:17.100 align:middle line:84%

yesterday that it

00:00:23.790 --> 00:00:29.466 align:middle line:84%

[LAUGHTER]

00:00:32.189 --> 00:00:35.880 align:middle line:84%
I know that it rained
on April 14 in 1970

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:40.260 align:middle line:84%
because I had planned
an outdoor reception.

00:00:40.260 --> 00:00:44.850 align:middle line:84%
And we have planned an outdoor
reception this evening.

00:00:44.850 --> 00:00:48.390 align:middle line:84%
So we've moved half
the cookies outside

00:00:48.390 --> 00:00:50.670 align:middle line:90%
and half the cookies inside.

00:00:50.670 --> 00:00:53.910 align:middle line:84%
I hope you can come
to the Poetry Center,

00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:57.420 align:middle line:84%

Mrs. Stegner following

00:00:57.420 --> 00:00:58.620 align:middle line:90%

00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:03.600 align:middle line:90%
I especially hope you can come.

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:09.660 align:middle line:84%
We're two blocks directly North

00:01:09.660 --> 00:01:14.820 align:middle line:90%
and Highland, 1086 Highland.

00:01:14.820 --> 00:01:18.720 align:middle line:84%
And we got lots of
cookies so come on over.

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:23.550 align:middle line:84%
It's taken us three years to
schedule tonight's reading.

00:01:23.550 --> 00:01:26.880 align:middle line:84%
And I am so happy that
Dr. Stegner finally

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:30.030 align:middle line:90%
consented to come.

00:01:30.030 --> 00:01:32.250 align:middle line:84%
I know that David
Laird was great help

00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:36.435 align:middle line:84%
in having Dr. Stegner come for
the dedication of the library.

00:01:36.435 --> 00:01:39.580 align:middle line:90%


00:01:39.580 --> 00:01:44.200 align:middle line:84%
By the way, several people asked
me about the library dedication

00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:45.130 align:middle line:90%
speech.

00:01:45.130 --> 00:01:49.600 align:middle line:84%
That was printed up and copies
are available from the library.

00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:51.700 align:middle line:84%
If you weren't able
to hear it yesterday

00:01:51.700 --> 00:01:55.000 align:middle line:84%
I hope you can receive
a copy from Mr Laird.

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.870 align:middle line:90%


00:01:58.870 --> 00:02:07.000 align:middle line:84%
