Johnny Dollar.

Hi, Johnny.

This is Steve Kilmer, Providential Life and Casualty. Steve, it's been a couple of years. Yeah, I know. Listen, Johnny, how'd you like to attend a wedding? Well, why not as long as it isn't mine? Yeah, I know what you mean. Oh, you're a bachelor, too, huh? Well, I would be if it weren't for a wife, poor kids, and a couple of grandchildren. Whoops. Johnny, do you by any chance remember Martha Mayfield, Merriman? The old gal down in New York who owns Consolidated Tire and Rubber Company? Yeah, and a half a dozen other companies. Well, sure, one of my old sweethearts. Don't you remember back in 57 when I cleared up that false report of her death? I thought she rigged out herself in order to make a killing in the stock market. Well, of course she did.

But Steve, she must be $73.00. when I cleared up that false report of her death? I thought she rigged out herself in order to make a killing in the stock market.

Well, of course she did.

But Steve, she must be 73 or 4 years old.

Seventy-four.

Well, don't tell me she's getting married again.

No, it's her son, Edgar.

Oh.

But she insists that you be among those present at the ceremony.
