Chapter 13. I try again. I was getting nowhere since the presidential election. There was no response or even acknowledgement that my many letters had been received. I had to try something else to attract

the president's attention. I called Bob Gray in Washington. He suggested that I send the correspondence

to the attention of the president's executive secretary, Helen von Dam, who was with him when he

served two terms as governor of California. It was she who, when

Reagan was governor, assembled his letters into a revealing book as to his true character,

entitled simply, sincerely, Ronald Reagan. Bob told me that I would be receiving a letter of

appreciation for my efforts on the campaign from the president personally, as soon as all the commotion died down. And after, he said, he was a letter of appreciation for my efforts on the campaign from the president personally

as soon as all the commotion died down and after his economic program had passed Congress.

I was still waiting to hear from my old friend, but it wasn't thank yous or gratitude that I was

looking for. I have always considered it a privilege to serve my country. What I was looking for was

action that would get the country back on track again. A selection, friends, from Reagan, B, actor,

A president by Edward Schofield. Now we turn our attention to the week's news. My name is Kidmite as the

original wave writer. And I'm joined on the line by Long John Silverway down south of North

Carolina. Hey. John, why don't you tell everyone the name of our fun podcast that we do?

Election profit maker. Some people refer to it as EPM. And what's our deal?

Well, we talk about politics. We sometimes bet on political outcomes using the website Predictit.org.

And, you know, sometimes we don't talk about any of that stuff. Sometimes we talk about fish weirs and college basketball. And what's your favorite thing about the podcast in one area where you could see the podcast needing improvement?

Oh, my favorite thing about the podcast. Just seeing you every week, man. Oh.

In terms of improvement, I don't know, man.

I think we're pretty good.

Wow.

All right.
