00:00:00.590 --> 00:00:03.370
<v ->Ellen and I started to first grade together.</v>

2
00:00:03.370 --> 00:00:05.493
We walked home every day holding hands.

3
00:00:06.490 --> 00:00:10.200
We got to be pretty good friends in that six years.

4
00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:13.870
<v ->And that was what, 1950?</v>

5
00:00:13.870 --> 00:00:16.700
And that was the last time we saw each other.

6
00:00:16.700 --> 00:00:21.567
My nextdoor neighbor here at Brookdale came over and said,

7
00:00:21.567 --> 00:00:23.364
"Where did you grow up?"

8
00:00:23.364 --> 00:00:25.220
And I said, "in Wharton."

9
00:00:25.220 --> 00:00:27.340
And she screamed.

10
00:00:27.340 --> 00:00:31.200
She said, "My dear friend's from Wharton."

11
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:32.740
And I said, "Well, who is that?"

12
00:00:32.740 --> 00:00:35.290
And, of course, she said, "Jean."

13
00:00:35.290 --> 00:00:40.280
Then I screamed because I had found my long lost friend.

14
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.490
So that's how it happened.

15
00:00:43.490 --> 00:00:45.560
Sometimes you lose track of people

16
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.630
that you don't wanna lose track of.

17
00:00:48.630 --> 00:00:50.860
<v Jean>I don't have many friends</v>

18
00:00:50.860 --> 00:00:52.593
that I've had as long as Ellen.

19
00:00:53.710 --> 00:00:55.410
<v ->You mean you don't have as many friends</v>

20
00:00:55.410 --> 00:00:56.950
that are as old as I am.

21
00:00:56.950 --> 00:00:58.331
<v ->No, I don't mean that.</v>

22
00:00:58.331 --> 00:00:59.759
(Ellen laughs)
