(laughs) Do you gentleman have anything else you would like to add?
Unknown male: I have a question about the Rose Bowl, Mr. Trippi. I understand that January of ‘42, was a month after Pearl Harbor and there was some anxiety about Japanese attacking the West Coast. Did that ever play into the Rose Bowl ?
I think in 1941, it happened more than in ‘42. As you know in 1941, they played it in Durham, North Carolina, the Rose Bowl game. People don’t realize that, because of the danger when the war started. They were afraid they might attack.
Cause Pearl Harbor was December 7, 1941, wasn’t it?
Yeah
So that is was within a month.
Yeah, so they changed that game to Durham, and, of course, the following year things kind of eased up a little and we played it in California.
Anything else ?
No
Charley, we have loved having you.
I enjoyed it. I am waiting for Claude to come up with something.
