Millions of "cabunas"
everywhere.

1:33:08
"Moishe's"?
1:33:10
"Moishe's"
1:33:13
No, that's in Montreal.
1:33:16
But, they have the
same thing in Edminton.

1:33:18
Plus, I'll tell you what...
1:33:20
soon as you get out of the hospital,
I'll take you for a big steak dinner.

1:33:24
Alright?
1:33:26
Mushrooms...
potatoes and onions...

1:33:43
I didn't know Charlie Holladay
for very long...

1:33:47
but I do know he
was a good pilot...

1:33:51
and a good friend.
1:34:03
We are gathered here today
because he was taken from us.

1:34:07
Much too soon.
1:34:10
Words are cold comfort when
a young life is cut so short.

1:34:19
But I thought I might read
from a poem I found,

1:34:24
written by a young Canadian flight lieutenant
named John McGee during the war

1:34:30
and found in his locker
after he was shot down.

1:34:34
"Oh, I have slipped the
surly bonds of Earth,

1:34:40
and danced the skies
on laughter-silvered wings.

1:34:45
Sunward I've climbed,
1:34:47
and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds --

1:34:52
and done a hundred things
you have not dreamed of --

1:34:56
wheeled and soared and swung
high in the sunlit silence.
