I'm his niece Penny Greg Nelson I

apologize for sitting down on a private

strip but I just pulled into Grover

yesterday and I didn't have a car in

town to drive out here in that's not a

bad looking taxi cab you got there

that's not a bad looking anr you've got

isn't she great I only wish you were

mine but at least I get to fly her in

the races Saturday that's what I came to

see Mr King about I'm here for the air

me oh you

are I feel kind of sorry for you flying

against my uncle Sky I can take care of

myself in the clinches I wouldn't be too

sure well I guess there isn't any reason

why you can't come in the house and wait

for Uncle Sky he's out marking a fence

line I don't think it'll be too

long all right get ready to throw out

another Chuck okay

boss

it sure as a lazy man's way of marking a

post line if beat trudging across these

Hills with the theod light and chain get

ready to drop another all right

now hey what if a wind comes up boss

take a mighty strong wind to disl that

slacked line when you take that ground

crew out tomorrow you won't have any

trouble running the fence

line could figure out a way to lay the

wire from here sure would save a lot of

walking I've been working on it there's

the section marker in the end of the

line toss out another we'll head for

home

[Music]

so that's the famous grer trophy Uncle

Sky won it twice in a row yeah it's like

impression on Penny for her to concede

been a little curious well I've been

flying for quite a few years now but I

to get in that Grover race yeah they

tell me you need two members of the

association to sponsor your application
