| 0003 | 01:01:59:00/01:01:06:12 | a film by Ann Fessler |
| 0004 | 01:01:04:28/01:01:08:06 | I was 15 that summer. |
| 0005 | 01:01:06:23/01:01:09:00 | You know, we went out. I don't even remember what we did. |
| 0006 | 01:01:09:05/ 01:01:13:06 | Probably drove around in his car. He had a baby blue 57 Chevy. |
| 0007 | 01:01:13:14/ 01:01:18:05 | And riding in that car, I felt really important. Wow, this is what dating is like. |
| 0008 | 01:01:25:00/01:01:27:25 | I was in High School, my senior year. |
| 0009 | 01:01:28:00/01:01:31:08 | and there was a guy that moved to town that |
| 0010 | 01:01:32:06/01:01:36:26 | all the girls just thought was so cute, and so cool, |
| 0011 | 01:01:37:05/01:01:41:15 | and talked about and whispered, "Weren't his blue eyes so pretty." |
| 0012 | 01:01:42:03/ 01:01:45:15 | And he drove a really hot car, which was real important at the time, |
| 0013 | 01:01:45:21/ 01:01:49:10 | beautiful, fast, noisy ... because noisy was important too. |
| 0014 | 01:01:50:28/01:01:56:01 | He was very cool. And I was cool because I was going out with this cool guy. |
| 0015 | 01:01:59:10/01:02:04:01 | Right after I graduated from high school, things were getting bad in Vietnam. |
| 0016 | 01:02:04:05/01:02:07:14 | So I thought I could help the Army and our country, |
| 0017 | 01:02:07:16/01:02:09:27 | and I could also get a good education. |
| 0018 | 01:02:10:15/01:02:12:05 | So I joined the Army. |
| 0019 | 01:02:12:13/ 01:02:16:16 | There at Fort Sam Houston I met a soldier that had been injured. |
| 0020 | 01:02:16:25/01:02:20:06 | I fell in love with him instantly. He looked like Dean Martin. |
| 0021 | 01:02:22:27/01:02:24:15 | I was a junior in high school |
| 0022 | 01:02:25:03/01:02:30:13 | and I had been going with Stan for a little bit over two years. |
| 0023 | 01:02:30:20/01:02:34:00 | We'd been having relations for a while. |
| 0024 | 01:02:34:18/01:02:36:14 | We went to the junior prom, I can remember, |
| 0025 | 01:02:36:25/01:02:38:15 | and I'm sure that was "the night". |
| 0026 | 01:02:40:19/01:02:42:22 | We had a really strong romance going on
|
| 0027 | 01:02:42:24/01:02:45:23 | and it was really difficult because he's white and I'm black. |
| 0028 | 01:02:46:13/01:02:49:18 | I got pregnant coming up for the weekend, to spend with him, |
| 0029 | 01:02:50:04/01:02:53:04 | and he took me to see Dionne Warwick. |
| 0030 | 01:02:58:22/01:03:02:06 | Things began to get fairly physical between us, |
| 0031 | 01:03:02:08/01:03:05:20 | and I had never entertained the idea of sex before |
| 0032 | 01:03:05:21/01:03:10:03 | because it just wasn't done in our family. |
| 0033 | 01:03:10:04/01:03:11:11 | We never even were aloud to say the word pregnant, we had to say "expecting". |
| 0034 | 01:03:17:04/01:03:20:25 | I was between my junior and senior year in college when I got pregnant. |
| 0035 | 01:03:21:00/01:03:25:21 | You know, I was really stupid, OK? Very stupid. |
| 0036 | 01:03:26:13/01:03:30:20 | He said, "Well, lets just get some bread and cheese and wine |
| 0037 | 01:03:30:22/01:03:32:23 | and I'll show you where I live." |
| 0038 | 01:03:41:06/01:03:46:01 | Marriage and Family Living Series HOW MUCH AFFECTION? |
| 0039 | 01:03:56:00/01:04:0108 | "Mary, Mary, Mary ... Mary wait! I'm sorry Mary." |
| 0040 | 01:04:04:13/01:04:06:00 | "Did you have a nice time dear?" |
| 0041 | 01:04:07:27/01:04:11:26 | "Well, you don't look much like a girl who's been out having a wonderful evening. |
| 0042 | 01:04:12:18/01:04:14:06 | "Oh Mom." |
| 0043 | 01:04:14:09/01:04:18:18 | "Now here, what's the matter dear?" |
| 0044 | 01:04:19:22/01:04:22:11 | "Do you remember when you told me that I might ... |
| 0045 | 01:04:23:00/01:04:25:04 | I might have such strong feelings about a boy |
| 0046 | 01:04:25:06/01:04:27:21 | that it might be hard for me to decide what's right to do?" |
| 0047 | 01:04:28:08/01:04:32:00 | "Well, yes, I remember. Why?" |
| 0048 | 01:04:32:20/01:04:35:00 | "Well, it was something like that tonight with Jeff. |
| 0049 | 01:04:36:18/01:04:38:24 | On our way home we stopped and parked. |
| 0050 | 01:04:40:22/01:04:44:20 | And then things seemed to happen, until we nearly.... " |
| 0051 | 01:04:47:00/01:04:48:10 | "Well, it was so close." |
| 0052 | 01:04:49:14/01:04:51:22 | "Suddenly I realized what we were about to do. |
| 0053 | 01:04:53:03/01:04:54:27 | I asked Jeff to take me home. |
| 0054 | 01:04:56:14/01:04:58:14 | I guess he felt ashamed too. |
| 0055 | 01:04:29:08/01:05:01:10 | He said he was sorry, that it was his fault." |
| 0056 | 01:05:02:04/01:05:04:13 | "Do you think it was his fault?" |
| 0057 | 01:05:16:04/01:05:17:10 | "All things considered, |
| 0058 | 01:05:18:17/01:05:21:25 | it's the girl who sets the level of conduct on a date. |
| 0059 | 01:05:28:13/01:05:33:15 | You create or prevent situations of sexual arousal and demands." |
| 0060 | 01:05:35:06/01:05:36:22 | I mean, things were a lot different then. |
| 0061 | 01:05:37:14/01:05:41:03 | And no one talked about sex. There was no sex education in school. |
| 0062 | 01:05:47:17/01:05:50:27 | Sex was never discussed in those days. |
| 0063 | 01:05:51:06/01:05:53:14 | I can see my mother sitting there knitting. |
| 0064 | 01:05:53:15/01:05:57:05 | She would knit, knit, knit, knit, knit, to avoid conversation. |
| 0065 | 01:05:57:16/01:06:02:11 | And I remember her knitting away there, and all of a sudden I said to her |
| 0066 | 01:06:02:23/01:06:04:21 | "What is sexual intercourse?" |
| 0067 | 01:06:04:25/01:06:09:02 | And she looked me right in the eye and said, "Don't bother me I'm counting." |
| 0068 | 01:06:10:05/01:06:15:10 | In 6th grade we watched a film. I didn't understand it. |
| 0069 | 01:06:15:25/01:06:21:20 | I mean it was just. the man has the sperm and the woman has the egg, or whatever, |
| 0070 | 01:06:21:22/01:06:25:12 | and somehow or another they make a baby but they didn't tell you, you know, |
| 0071 | 01:06:25:14/01:06:27:05 | how it was really done. |
| 0072 | 01:06:28:10/01:06:32:27 | I had older parents that were scared to death to talk about sex, |
| 0073 | 01:06:33:05/01:06:35:11 | scared to death to talk about anything. |
| 0074 | 01:06:36:25/01:06:41:18 | I never had the sex talk with my mother. I don't know that she ever said the word sex. |
| 0075 | 01:06:44:14/01:06:47:29 | We lived a very puritanical, you know, Beaver Cleaver lifestyle. |
| 0076 | 01:06:48:01:/01:06:20:29 | and it just wasn't anything that was ever discussed. |
| 0077 | 01:06:52:08/01:06:56:18 | "Jeannie, when do you think I'll start having periods too?" |
| 0078 | 01:06:57:01:/01:06:59:26 | "Oh, I don't know, pretty soon I suppose. |
| 0079 | 01:07:01::06/01:07:03:03 | I was thirteen when I started. |
| 0080 | 01:07:03:19/01:07:07:04 | I think I was in the 5th or 6th grade and I went to the bathroom |
| 0081 | 01:07:07:08/01:07:10:17 | and I pulled my panties down and they had blood on them. |
| 0082 | 01:07:10:18/01:07:13:10 | I started screaming because I didn't know what was going on.
|
| 0083 | 01:07:13:26/01:07:16:03 | "Many of you girls haven't started to menstruate yet, |
| 0084 | 01:07:16:10/01:07:20:14 | but when you do you will want to use a sanitary napkin to absorb the flow." |
| 0085 | 01:07:20:15/01:07:22:29 | They called my mother; she came and picked me up from school. |
| 0086 | 01:07:23:04/01:07:26:04 | She handed me a bag and told me to go in the bathroom and put it on. |
| 0087 | 01:07:26:11/01:07:31:06 | I sat in that bathroom, probably an hour, trying to figure out how all this mess worked. |
| 0088 | 01:07:31:08/01:07:35:23 | There was a stretchy belt and it had these two clamps on it, and then these pads, |
| 0089 | 01:07:35:28/01:07:37:19 | it scared me to death. |
| 0090 | 01:07:38:01:/01:07:41:12 | I'm mean, certainly we knew that, you know, if you had sex you could get pregnant. |
| 0091 | 01:07:41:13/01:07:42:23 | I wasn't that naïve. |
| 0092 | 01:07:43:24/01:07:46:22 | "Soon, Molly will be a young woman, having dates, |
| 0093 | 01:07:47:18/01:07:50:09 | going to dances in lovely romantic dresses, |
| 0094 | 01:07:50:28/01:07:53:06 | and making new and important friends." |
| 0095 | 01:07:53:24/01:07:57:29 | "There are so many wonderful things to look forward to." |
| 0096 | 01:08:03:26/01:08:07:22 | "Growing up, it's an exciting time." |
| 0097 | 01:08:17:29/01:08:20:16 | I could tell that he knew a little bit more, |
| 0098 | 01:08:20:17/01:08:25:23 | and as ridiculous as it sounds, I was learning from him. |
| 0099 | 01:08:30:00/01:08:32:28 | There was no birth control, except abstinence. |
| 0100 | 01:08:33:12/01:08:34:13 | Good luck with that one. |
| 0101: | 01:08:35:06/01:08:39:21 | Condoms were kept behind the counters in drug stores, |
| 0102 | 01:08:39:19/01:08:43:23 | and boys were embarrassed to have to ask the Druggist, |
| 0103 | 01:08:43:28/01:08:48:10 | let alone girls going in and asking for them, would be totally unheard of. |
| 0104 | 01:08:49:13/01:08:53:01: | He knew all about the rhythm method so he asked me when I last had my period. |
| 0105 | 01:08:53:02/01:08:56:07 | So that's why it was OK to have sex without any condom. |
| 0106 | 01:08:56:09/01:08:58:09 | Because what else was there in 1963? |
| 0107 | 01:08:58:22/01:09:00:12 | I guess there was a diaphragm but who knew? |
| 0108 | 01:09:01:;23/01:09:04:15 | You know, the birth control pill was on the market, |
| 0109 | 01:09:04:28/01:09:07:27 | but in those days, you really had to be married.
|
| 0110 | 01:09:09:06/01:09:13:22 | I started gaining weight, and I missed my second period, |
| 0111 | 01:09:14:24/01:09:16:19 | and I still tried to deny it. |
| 0112 | 01:09:17:22/01:09:22:29 | I was using safety pins in the back of my skirt to accommodate my expanding waist. |
| 0113 | 01:09:23:06/01:09:27:27 | So I started off with safety pins, and then bigger and bigger, and then diaper pins. |
| 0114 | 01:09:27:21/01:09:32:00 | And the biggest pin I got to was ... at that time kilts were very popular. |
| 0115 | 01:09:32:10/01:09:36:06 | Remember those plaid pleated kilts and they had the giant pin? |
| 0116 | 01:09:36:27/01:09:39:16 | That was the last frontier, was the Kilt pin. |
| 0117 | 01:09:40:17/01:09:44:14 | And I told my boyfriend that I missed a period. |
| 0118 | 01:09:44:15/01:09:49:04 | And you could tell, right away, that he didn't really want to be bothered. |
| 0119 | 01:09:50:08/01:09:53:10 | "Oh Jeff, isn't it a wonderful night?" |
| 0120 | 01:09:54:27/01:9:58:03 | We went out and we ordered wedding rings. |
| 0121 | 01:9:59:02/01:10:01::22 | And we were having them engraved... |
| 0122
| 01:10:02:08/01:10:04:28 | and I don't believe those rings were ever picked up. |
| 0123 | 01:10:04:29/01:10:07:15 | "You know, we've been going out f or quite a while now, haven't we?" |
| 0124 | 01:10:07:21/01:10:10:21 | I very much remember him in the living room of my grandparent's |
| 0125 | 01:10:10:22/01:10:13:25 | saying to me "Sue, I'll marry you, I will marry you." |
| 0126 | 01:10:13:26/01:10:15:07 | What, are you out of your mind? |
| 0127 | 01:10:15:08/01:10:18:14 | You know you're 18, I wasn't even 17, I was 16. |
| 0128 | 01:10:18:24/01:10:20:28 | And it was then that he told me, |
| 0129 | 01:10:21:04/01:10:24:22 | that the year before he had gotten another girl pregnant. |
| 0130 | 01:10:24:29/01:10:28:14 | That baby had been surrendered the year before at the same agency. |
| 0131 | 01:10:30:23/01:10:35:28 | My parents were not happy about it. My parents are Holocaust survivors. |
| 0132 | 01:10:36:02/01:10:40:17 | I was raised very strictly. My daddy called me a whore. |
| 0133 | 01:10:41:00/01:10:44:12 | I don't remember my father finding out. I do remember him coming up stairs. |
| 0134 | 01:10:44:13/01:10:47:04 | My father was very Catholic. He didn't use birth control... |
| 0135 | 01:10:47:08/01:10:50:23 | He said, "Is it too late for us to do something about this?" |
| 0136 | 01:10:52:21/01:10:56:16 | My dad had been commuting back and forth from Ft. Worth to Dallas... |
| 0137 | 01:10:57:08/ 01:11:00:13 | My parents made the decision that this would be a good time |
| 0138 | 01:11:01:14/01:11:03:16 | for them to go ahead and move, so that nobody would know. |
| 0139 | 01:11:10:01:/01:11:13:08 | My Mother had me go to the bathroom. |
| 0140 | 01:11:13:21/01:11:19:00 | She administered to me a douche that was very painful. |
| 0141 | 01:11:19:21/01:11:24:14 | Found out later what she had used was Lysol in the brown bottle... |
| 0142 | 01:11:25:16/ 01:11:30:09 | and I blocked that out of my mind, for twenty-something years. |
| 0143 | 01:11:30:25/01:11:32:22 | One day my husband was cleaning |
| 0144 | 01:11:33:03/01:11:36:23 | and I smelled the Lysol in the brown bottle and it took me back. |
| 0145 | 01:11:46:07/01:11:52:09 | Ours is rich and variant land. We are a prospering people. |
| 0146 | 01:11:52:26/01:11:56:13 | Wherever we live, or earn our livelihood ... |
| 0147 | 01:11:56:26/01:12:01::14 | we have bounties beyond those known the people of any other day. |
| 0148 | 01:12:02:17/01:12:06:29 | And as responsible as anyone else for the care of these bounties, |
| 0149 | 01:12:07:16/01:12:11:09 | is the woman in the American home." |
| 0150 | 01:12:13:18/01:12:19:10 | "Meeting the unexpected happenings that any family has always to expect." |
| 0151 | 01:12:23:05/01:12:28:19 | "There are times when she feels lonely in this responsibility to her family. |
| 0152 | 01:12:29:15/01:12:34:21 | Yet she carries it in ways that are varied, in ways that are many." |
| 0153 | 01:12:35:11/01:12:38:21 | I love my mother, but I think it was more important to her, |
| 0154 | 01:12:38:25/01:12:42:00 | perhaps at the time, that the neighbors didn't think we were bad people, |
| 0155 | 01:12:42:09/01:12:43:22 | or that she was a bad mother. |
| 0156 | 01:12:44:26/01:12:49:18 | My mom treated it like it was her personal tragedy. |
| 0157 | 01:12:50:10/01:12:54:03 | My mother actually said, it's a cliché but she actually said, |
| 0158 | 01:12:54:05/01:12:56:12 | "What am I going to tell the neighbors?" |
| 0159 | 01:12:57:01:/01:12:59:29 | My parent's generation, that "greatest generation" ... |
| 0160 | 01:13:01:05/01:13:03:00 | that's what they thought ... It didn't happen to nice girls. |
| 0161 | 01:13:03:01:/01:13:04:17 | But nice girls do get pregnant. |
| 0162 | 01:13:05:22/01:13:09:28 | My mother and my father both came from very poor families. |
| 0163 | 01:13:10:05/01:13:14:13 | But, by the time I was in high school they were very affluent. |
| 0164 | 01:13:14:14/01:13:16:26 | They went on nice vacations and they had a nice life |
| 0165 | 01:13:169:27/01:13:20:04 | and we had drapes that somebody designed for our house ... |
| 0166 | 01:13:20:05/01:13:23:04 | you know, things like that, that in my town were quite hoity-toity. |
| 0167 | 01:13:23:09/01:13:26:06 | When I got pregnant it was like slipping back a generation. |
| 0168 | 01:13:26:07/01:13:27:26 | The climbing that they had done, |
| 0169 | 01:13:28:06/01:13:30:28 | and their aspirations were suddenly under threat. |
| 0170 | 01:13:31:05/01:13:34:19 | They were going to be those people they looked down on. |
| 0171 | 01:13:37:08/01:13:40:09 | "New drapes, new rugs, oh this is fun. |
| 0172 | 01:13:43:02/01:13:49:09 | It's nice to have a telephone to blend with my new drapes and rug, |
| 0173 | 01:13:49:10/01:13:53:06 | a living room that's all our own. |
| 0174 | 01:14:23:09/01:14:28:14 | The bedroom should be changed completely too. |
| 0175 | 01:14:29:21/01:14:35:01: | Perhaps a color scheme of gold and blue." |
| 0176 | 01:14:35:19/01:14:38:17 | There was a clear social category for unwed mothers |
| 0177 | 01:14:39:03/01:14:41:08 | and that was the slut category. |
| 0178 | 01:14:41:09/01:14:44:08 | That was the "you must not come from a very good home category". |
| 01:79 | 01:14:45:15/01:14:49:20 | I think it was impossible for my parents to get past those feelings |
| 0180 | 01:14:50:00/01:14:52:24 | and to see me as somebody who needed some help from them. |
| 0181 | 01:14:54:11/01:14:58:23 | I just, I knew from that time on that probably my life, and Tony's life, |
| 0182 | 01:14:58:24/01:15:03:16 | would never, ever be the same. An innocent time was over for us. |
| 0183 | 01:15:03:29/01:15:03:22 | When we told my mom and dad we had something to tell them |
| 0184 | 01:15:06:23/01:15:09:17 | and I think they kind of knew... they were not happy, |
| 0185 | 01:15:09:25/01:15:12:04 | you know, "How could their daughter, how could their little girl, |
| 0186 | 01:15:12:05/01:15:14:11 | how could this happen to them?" |
| 0187 | 01:15:15:27/01:15:19:03 | The decision was made that I would be sent away |
| 0188 | 01:15:19:04/01:15:23:02 | and that our baby would be put up for adoption. |
| 0189 | 01:15:23:05/01:15:25:23 | I just felt like I had done this horrific thing, |
| 0190 | 01:15:25:24/01:15:29:28 | and I was not in any position to protest or say what I wanted. |
| 0191 | 01:15:30:03/01:15:32:24 | Certainly, I wasn't in any position to say, |
| 0192 | 01:15:33:04/01:15:37:19 | "Is there any way that my baby wouldn't have to be taken?" |
| 0193 | 01:15:37:20/01:15:39:20 | I decide to go see my priest |
| 0194 | 01:15:39:21/01:15:42:22 | and he said, "I wouldn't advise you to marry." And I asked him why. |
| 0195 | 01:15:42:29/01:15:47:08 | And he said, "If you don't marry a Catholic man, there is only one other option, |
| 0196 | 01:15:47:09/01:15:50:12 | or your baby is going to stay in Purgatory when she dies." |
| 01:97 | 01:15:50:15/01:15:53:28 | And I said, "You mean adoption?" And he said, "Yes". |
| 0198 | 01:15:53:25/01:15:56:13 | N.Y. FOUNDLING HOSPITAL |
| 0199 | 01:15:54:01:/01:15:58:25 | It was very apparent to me that whatever was going to happen, |
| 0200 | 01:15:58:26/01:16:01::29 | that the worst possible thing that could happen would be |
| 0201 | 01:16:02:04/01:16:05:22 | if my child ended up with me. |
| 0202 | 01:16:09:05/01:16:10:24 | They called the doctor and the doctor said, |
| 0203 | 01:16:10:25/01:16:14:03 | "Well, you sent her away to a home for unwed mothers, |
| 0204 | 01:16:14:04/01:16:17:16 | and she gives the child up, and it will all blow over. |
| 0205 | 01:16:19:25/01:16:21:06 | It had to be secret. |
| 0206 | 01:16:21:24/01:16:25:06 | It's like, you have no idea what things were like in the 60s. |
| 0207 | 01:16:25:09/01:16:29:00 | It just brought terrible shame on anybody who knew you, |
| 0208 | 01:16:29:01:/01:16:32:15 | and particularly your family or anybody who was related to you. |
| 0209 | 01:16:35:29/01:16:38:06 | You either got married or you went into hiding. |
| 0210 | 01:16:38:18/01:16:42:27 | You couldn't go back to school if you were married or had a baby. It was over for you. |
| 0211 | 01:16:43:12/01:16:46:29 | Your reputation is ruined. You're out of school. You're locked up. |
| 0212 | 01:16:47:21/01:16:51:23 | I'd been this girl that ... I didn't smoke, didn't drink, didn't do anything wrong, |
| 0213 | 01:16:51:25/01:16:53:21 | took care of her kid brothers and sisters and ... |
| 0214 | 01:16:53:22/01:16:58:12 | everybody's parents wanted their daughters to be with me. |
| 0215 | 01:16:58:13/01:17:03:02 | And now when I walked down the street |
| 0216 | 01:17:01:27/01:17:03:17 | all the parents made their daughters cross the street. |
| 0217 | 01:17:03:18/01:17:05:19 | They couldn't walk on the same side of the street. |
| 0218 | 01:17:19:05/01:17:22:02 | You know, having a child out of wedlock at that time |
| 0219 | 01:17:22:03/01:17:28:04 | was just not an OK thing to do. You were not an OK person if you did that. |
| 0220 | 01:17:29:11/01:17:32:06 | To have a baby out of wedlock, |
| 0221 | 01:17:32:14/01:17:35:08 | well, no good man is ever going to look at her again. |
| 0222 | O0:17:50:14/01:17:55:04 | The social structure at that time was so rigid. |
| 0223 | 01:17:56:07/01:18:00:13 | And I just thought those were terrible, women, terrible, terrible women. |
| 0224 | 01:18:01::25/01:18:05:10 | I couldn't acknowledge my pregnancy. |
| 0225 | 01:18:06:06/01:18:09:13 | Had nothing to do with me because I never had a child. |
| 0226 | 01:18:10:02/01:18:11:20 | I never had a child. |
| 0227 | 01:18:27:10/01:18:31:06 | When I was about four months pregnant they loaded me up in the car, |
| 0228 | 01:18:31:09/01:18:34:24 | and they drove me on the longest drive of my whole life, |
| 0229 | 01:18:35:00/01:18:39:09 | to this home for unwed mothers. I remember crying all the way |
| 0230 | 01:18:39:15/01:18:43:26 | and still not understanding why I had to go away. |
| 0231 | 01:18:44:24/01:18:48:01: | You're going to be taken care of but you're going to have that baby, |
| 0232 | 01:18:48:02/01:18:50:24 | and you are going to do the only thing that is right. |
| 0233 | 01:18:50:25/01:18:55:00 | And that is, you're going to give this baby to good people, decent people, |
| 0234 | 01:18:55:01:/01:18:59:19 | because you are so bad and so flawed for just having this happen, |
| 0235 | 01:18:59:20/01:19:03:24 | there's no way you could possibly provide what a child would need. |
| 0236 | 01:19:06:26/01:19:11:18 | I knew my days in the Army were short. I was about to be kicked out of there. |
| 0237 | 01:19:11:24/01:19:17:26 | My mother came and got me and let me stay at home for a few weeks. |
| 0238 | 01:19:18:01:/01:19:22:25 | I was three months pregnant and she said, "You don't look it now, but you will soon, |
| 0239 | 01:19:22:26/01:19:24:20 | And so I want you out of this house." |
| 0240 | 01:19:25:01:/01:19:29:04 | And she said, "If you keep your baby, never come back." |
| 0241 | 01:19:31:11/01:19:34:14 | I had a lot of sermons from my commanding officer. |
| 0242 | 01:19:34:15/01:19:40:00 | I was crying and I wasn't acting like a trained combat soldier, I tell you that. |
| 0243 | 01:19:40:02/01:19:44:11 | I was sobbing and apologizing and I had to write something on it. |
| 0244 | 01:19:44:12/01:19:47:21 | And I wrote how sorry I was that I dishonored the Army. |
| 0245 | 01:19:49:18/01:19:55:20 | He was discharged from the service, because of his injury, and he got this huge pension. |
| 0246 | 01:19:55:22/01:19:59:01: | I received 89 dollars and 5O cents. |
| 0247 | 01:19:59:02/01:20:03:24 | and then I had to give that to
