(Excerpt From) The Jaycees Speech

<br>When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. <br>I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I <br>was the hero in the movie.So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred <br>times. These gentlemen over there, these are the type who care, are dedicated. <br>You realize if it&amp;acute;s not possible that they might be building the kingdom, <br>it&amp;acute;s not far-fetched from reality. I&amp;acute;d like to say that I learned <br>very early in life that: <br>`Without a song the day would never end<br>Without a song a man ain&amp;acute;t got a friend<br>Without a song the road would never bend<br>Without a song...`<br>So I keep singing a song.<br>Good night.<br>Thank you.
