Message to the Young

Transcript
Interviewer: If you could speak to young people about duty and obligations, what would you say to them? Well, I say I've worked with kids quite a bit so, and I, you know I've encouraged them. I was pretty straightlaced old character myself and so I tried to go a little high on morality without being a pain. And, and responsibility and pointing out that in doing things and serving others, you serve yourself. My parents taught me that we were put on this earth to serve God and our fellow man and we better not forget it. And it went awfully good, and I think the only advice I ever gave my kids was that, my boys particularly, was when you go out with girls treat them like ladies. If they're ladies they'll expect it. If they're not ladies, they'll rather enjoy it, and if they're the kind that I really wish you wouldn't associate with, they'll dump you. Interviewer: Words of wisdom. Well, whatever, worked for me.
