A. says as we are particularly honored to not only have Canadian sistern and brethren but we have their progeny. First speech is from Clint. Clint brilliantly says nothing, passes to Sammy (son-in-law of Anna). Sammy says he had to talk for an hour and a half to get a plate of spaghetti than he makes a nice speech which is well received. Gladys ( Anna's daughter) says she is happy to be here and hopes we all come to see her in Canada but not please not all at the same time. Clint, now called on again, says they al said what he wanted to say in the first place.
