June Foray: Woman of a Thousand Voices

Blank was the voice, most famously of Bugs Bunny, but he was also the voice of Daffy Duck Your co and Sylvester the Cat Rocket, both characters I could relate to because they also had trouble with says suffering sucotash Nope, I still can't say it and not sound like a cat. But that's not even close to the whole list. On the flint Stones, Mel Blank was both Fred neighbor Barney Come On Fred, and Fred's pet Dino. Fast forward a few thousand years and he was George Jetson's hot tempered

boss Cosmos Space Lee, What are You Toy? He was the original to Can Sam in commercials for fruit Loops Cereal, I wasn't allowed to eat and he poured on the sugar as peppy lapew You are Pino, I am you a Blank. There's a good reason why mel Blanc was known as the Man of a thousand voices. I mean there wasn't a voice he didn't do right, Oh, hockey smoke. I wouldn't agree with that. I stand corrected, bullwinkled J

Moose's best friend Rocket J Squirrel, I'm here. He wasn't voiced by Blank, Rocky's pot Sylvanian nemesis Natasha Fatale Dylink, I am here. Mel Blank didn't play her either. Blank didn't make the Grinch's heart grow three sizes as Cindy Luhu Candy car Why why are you taking our Christmas tree? Or keep Sylvester from snacking on Tweetie as Granny. If there's one little said, just one little feather hand of this bird, I'm going to sell you to the violin

string actory. Those are just a few of the characters voiced by a four ft eleven dynamo named June Fay. Why should we know the name June Fay. June Foray was the go to female voice artist Daddy Candy Daddy Caddy An. She was the voice of Chatty Cathy, the doll iconic doll. Oh my gosh, that my sister Mary Beth had really yeah, this was in the sixties, and how did you Chatty Cathy work? By the way, did

you pull a train string? And then she would say, good play, how how do you change my Later on The Twilight Zone, June showed off her dramatic chops, playing a sinister, murderous version of Chatty Cathy, Nickie Tina Can I'm beginning to hate you. Sometimes, June worked blue literally as the petite prankster Joki on The Smurfs were I'll throw in one. You may not even know because she was uncredited. She was the voice of Little Ricky's dog barking and I Love Lucy? Are you serious? Don't you

know what time it is? Among her many fans, legendary animator Chuck Jones. While many called June the female Mele Blank, Jones like to say that mel Blank was the male June Farrey. Why would you know June farre because she's part of your childhood. But even though most of us grew up with her characters, June Farrey isn't widely known today.

It turns out there's a bit of a story behind those Looney Tunes credits from CBS Sunday Morning and I heart I'm Morocca and this is mobituaries, this moment June Fay, July two thousand seventeen, The Woman of a thousand voices. You know, eat my shorts as a little rude and I threw it out as just an ad lib, eat my shorts And next thing, yes, it's on all these T shirts and it became a catchphrase. You probably wouldn't recognize Nancy Cartwright if you passed her on the street.

That's because Nancy isn't a famous face. She's a famous voice. Actually, like June far Ay, she's a lot of famous voices. For the past three decades, Nancy has played several young boys on The Simpsons, including Ralph Wigham Nelson Months and of course don't have a cow man Bart Simpson and I'm like this perennial ten year old boy, which is so awesome and best job for me because it's kind

of what I wanted to do, just like me. Nancy watched a lot of TV growing up, The Jetson's and the flint Stones, and then in the seventies it was Mary Tyler Moore. It was nothing was better. Yeah, I was inspired by Ruth Buzzy on laughing. You know, I'm saving it until after I'm married. On next Saturday Night, each Other comes another one of those under the radar famous people, Bob Bergen, b E. R G. And I am an actor and a pig, porky pig to be specific,

but that pretty impressive. Look. We have to do the same amount of work times ten that an on camera actor does, because it's just with the voice. It's true. Voice acting doesn't get the credit it deserves. A lot of cartoon characters aren't even human, but somehow voice actors are able to make them seem well like people. My friend Rucy Taylor was Huey, Dewey and Louis for Disney for years. Rats that was still going the stairs. CA's okay,

that's way I'm quicker at anyway. She used to perform it like this and people can't see what I'm doing. But I'm sort of like doing Mr spox vulcan thing with my fingers. Uh. And I said her, why are you doing the ducks like this? She goes webbed feet. I said, those aren't feats. She goes, they are when I'm performing. You know, it's whatever works for you. A lot of it is in my face. Bart is Bart's

pretty open. I don't think I change with him, but like Nelson months, I look at my lips like every kind of like talking out of the side of my mouth, you know. And when did I do rap for my eyebrows? Go really really hi? Hi mom? And to be clear, we're not editing this. She just did that back to back to back. Nancy's and Bob's voices make me laugh, but I wanted to talk to them about a voice

that originally terrified me. In the Looney Tunes episode Broomstick Bunny, Witch Hazel is a green faced tag with a single snaggle tooth. Her hair is a mess. She's a witch. But it wasn't so much what she looked like that scared me, but how she sounded. That cackle way too close to Margaret Hamilton's in The Wizard of Oz. You know her laugh for Witch Hazel. It's so quintessential, right, which it's funny, it's also terrifying when it was little. Yes,

I loved her. I loved almost as menacing as Witch Hazel's cackle was the song she sang while she was preparing her witches brewn a spider some glue. That devilish ditty ran in a loop through my head as a child. Freak you out. It freaked me out, and I had for years running through my mind a cup of tea spider, some glue. Yeah. In the cartoon, Witch Hazel gloats about being the ugliest witch of all until Bugs Bunny shows up. This trick of treating is a pretty nice rackon dressed

as an even uglier witch. I don't remember seeing her rigetti of the union meetings, and it's such a witty cartoon. It's hysterical. I'd forgotten that she feels so threatened cause she's no longer going to be the ugliest witch. That's I wore new dearie. I'm going to worm all of your ugly secrets out of you. Gear me now, Coan does your hair, which Hazel ends up chasing Bugs around with a butcher knife that shop enough to split a hair.

In the end, of course, Bugs outwit switch Hazel. He gets her to drink a potion that makes her pretty, and the pretty woman she turns into at the end of that short was modeled after the woman voicing her June for Ay. What was she like physically? Uh? Like four ft nothing really, yeah, a tiny little thing like a gymnast guy. Yeah, eight, like you wouldn't believe, and never gained weight. And she's like this turbo charged, a little spark plug in a tiny little body. Indeed, June

Foray had stamina. She lived until almost one hundred and worked nearly to the end. Her story. He began in Springfield, Massachusetts, where she was born in nineteen seventeen. Not long after June learned to talk. She was imitating animals, barking at neighborhood dogs, and doing the impressions for her mother's Bridge club of the theater actors who came through town. But June's mother wanted her to be a dancer, so we enrolled her in tap classes until about with pneumonia and

did June's dancing career before it ever began. So it was on to piano lessons, but June hated the piano. Lucky for her, one day, when she was playing baseball, she was hit by a pitch hey right on her finger. I was fortunate enough to break my finger playing baseball with my brother, so I didn't play piano anymore. That's June for Ay in the year two thousand talking about the pitch she called a gift from heaven. So I said,

whether I really wanted to be in actress? And so she and dad got the best drama teaches that there were. By the time she was fifteen, June was performing in dramas on local radio station w b z A, where she developed the granny voice she'd used throughout her career. Around this time, June's father lost his autoparts business, so the family moved across the country to Los Angeles. That was just fine. By June, she'd already written herself a

character called Lady Make Believe, a go get her. Even back then, June called every radio station in town until one of them agreed to put Lady Make Believe on the air. Here's the story about the Happa Doodle. This is from a recording June made decades later. Our little Happa Doodle, when you first looked at him, looked just like a pixie. He had a tiny face that's showed with merriment. I wrote them with a voice in mind, and they were gentle stories. There was no violence in

any of them. Fast forward to World War Two, and June, by now a young woman, was writing and performing on radio dramas, boosting the morale of an anxious public. Better hurry, here you are here. She is playing a nurse in episode of the Cavalcade of America. Yes, already, here's your alcohol scrubbing. Thanks. June's radio career would end up lasting well into the fifties. In one of my favorite bits she ever did, she played a sort of robot interplanetary

beauty queen on the Stan Freeburg Show. Some dope that turly an tennis at the girl got cube suction cups. I got shapely wheels. Yeah, they're they're pretty shapely at that. I see you I in them. One radio show turned out to be especially important to June. On Smiling Ed's bus dr Brown Gang, she met a writer director named Hobart Donovan. Several years later, they married and stayed married until his death in nineteen seventy six, It's time for

My Favorite Husband, starring Lucille Ball. Hello everybody now one big radio stars were making the transition into the brand new medium of TV. Lucille Balls hit radio show My favorite Husband. Now hurry and get me out of this type thing. I feel like a ten inch weenie in a five inch roll. Led to TV's I Love Lucy

that very same year I Want a Divorce. Dady White's radio appearances on shows like Family Theater, I Make the Salad Mrs McGee led to a legendary and legendarily long television career that included hosting Saturday Night Live in two thousand and ten. Many of you know that I'm I'm dy eight and a half years old. Well, it's going to be here for no reason. June occasionally went on camera. Here she is playing a housewife opposite Johnny Carson on The Johnny Carson Show in I'm going to be very

firm about this matter of an allowance. Well, I'm telling you're right now, you're not going to get one. But acting on TV didn't make use of June's real talent. Off camera and on Mike, she could become anyone. And with the Golden Age of animation in full swing, June Farrey was about to find her voice, come on and join us. We mentioned earlier how as a kid, June Farrey was doing voices for anyone who would listen. Well, Nancy Cartwright and Bob Bergen, Ak Bart Simpson and Porky

Pig started early two for them. The classroom was the preferred venue. There was one teacher that I kind of drove crazy because I would do I would do this thing, listeners, I'm I'm I'm plunking my cheek right now, I can do it under my chin and doing that, and he he would walk in the room and it would kind of drive him nuts. Mr Dwarkin, wherever you are, sir um, it would kind of and and he never did find out that that was me. Or if I wanted to get a drink of water, I would pretend like I

add the hiccups. And the trick to hiccups is you don't go You don't make it so obvious you just as you're talking, you just sort of pull back. I would answer questions in school like either the teacher or porky pig. When I when I was a kid and I got sent to the principal's office and the principal would say, okay, which teacher, I'd say, Mr Snyder, do him? And if I did him, well, I got to go back to class. If I did allow the impression, I

got detention. How serendipitous was that that you had a principal who was incentivizing you to get even better the voices. There you go. And I had also encouraged me not to do as well in school because I was like, oh, this is working for me. Did you dream of being porky peg even though there already was a porky bag since I was five? That was my goal in life, That's all. Folks don't believe him. This is Bob practicing

porky at home as a teenager. Gush. I don't know why I have to learn the older I plug leadens anyhow. Some kids want to be a baseball player, some kids want to be an astronaut, and they alternate back and forth whether it's Monday or Friday. This is what I

wanted in life. The porky Bob grew up with was voiced by mel Blank, didn't they say it will be would be a wonderful lester camping way out here in the middle of nowhere, who had been doing the pig's voice for almost forty years, since seven, not long after the start of what's known as the Golden Age of animation.

That era began with the introduction of cartoons with the sound Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse spoke his first words in ninety nine Meanwhile, Warner Brothers debuted Porky Pig, Jaffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, and of course Bugs Bunny, of cause you know this means war By the latter half of the century, production studios like Hannah Barbara created characters specifically for TV, the flint Stones, the Jetsons, Yogi Bear, and a personal favorite, snaggle Puss. The kid has class recognizes Tell him now.

June Farrey got into animation through a sort of side door. In the late nineteen forties, she went under contract with Capitol Records doing a range of voice of her work for kids and grown ups. Here she is once again with satirist Stan Freeburg, doing a parody of the police drama Dragnet. Ma'am, but I talked to me just a minute, ma'am. What about not much? Man, Just want to ask you a few questions. What's your name? Blue Riding Hood? Where you going to Graham House? What you got in the basket?

What are you trying to take up in the basket? Here? Soon enough, Disney, which pioneered feature length animation, came calling with a part in nineteen fifties Cinderella. Now. Cinderella is nominally about Cinderella, but a lot of the movie focuses on a devious cat named Lucifer, which was voiced by June Farrey. He was a mean old thing. He didn't

have any dialogue. But I was working for Disney. Cinderella was a big hit, and just a few years later, June was summoned by that other big player in town. My agent had called me and said, would you work for Chuck Jones at Warner Brothers? And I said, well, I'd love to work at Warner Brothers. But who is Chuck Jones? As June would discover, Chuck Jones was a genius. Time Magazine once wrote that he made movie goers laugh as often and as well as Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton.

He directed over two hundred fifty shorts for the studio, including one of the greatest cartoons of all time, What's Opera Doc The Webbit Killed the Webit, Killed the Webit Killed the Webbit. Under his direction, characters may have moved in exact dreated ways and had extreme facial expressions just to picture any of them getting hit with a frying pan. But like any good comedy, these characters tapped into the audience is very real wants and meads and anxieties. Here's

Chuck Jones in comedy is concerned with small things. That sort of thing that I am familiar with and you were familiar with. That is how to get something to eat, how to get someplace to sleep here, how to uh, how to get your girl, how to get the boy. All these things are very important. In June drove her Cadillac over to the Warner Brothers studios to meet him, and this gorgeous hunk of men shook hands with me

and he said, I'm Chuck. Well, it was just astounding that this effervescent, wonderful human being had wanted me to work for him. Their meeting kicked off a long term collaboration. June loved working with Chuck Jones. She performed in about forty of his shorts at Warner Brothers. He would give her just enough direction and she would deliver the characters

he was after, including Granny and Witch Hazel. Later, after he left Warner Brothers, Jones continued to hire her for projects like Tom and Jerry and How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Ricky Ticky Tavi, about a mongoose protecting a family of humans. Here's June as the villainous Cobra nagaina. If you move, I strike, and if you do not move, I strike, O fleeh Plea. Toward the end of his life, Jones fought for June to get a star on the

Hollywood Walk of Fame. She said, he told her, mel Blank has a star, You're gonna get one if I have anything to say about it. And in the year two thousand, June, for a finally got one. By this point you might be wondering, with all the characters June voiced, why didn't I know her name? Well, one reason is that voice actors didn't and still don't, get much recognition. The animators, the directors, the writers, everybody got credit, but

the actors didn't. I guess we weren't that important, except we were. But there is one actor who did become famous for his voice work in the forties, fifties, and sixties, Mel Blank. If you read the credits to Warner Brothers cartoons from this goldenest part of the Golden Age, he's almost always the only voice actor listed them. Bob Bergen explains Mel Blank had asked for a raise. I think in the forties and the studio said, no, we're not going to give you a raise. Instead, the studio gave

Mel blank soul screen credit. No matter how many other actors were in a cartoon, only his name appeared on screen. June's name nowhere to be seen. What a way to run a railroad. I asked her what I did that bother you? And she said it bothered everybody. Her ego I think was bruised. It wasn't the only disappointment June faced in the late nineteen fifties. June played Betty Rubble in a pilot for Hannah Barbera called The Flagstones Wilma,

When are We Going shown? But by the time The flint Stones went into production, Joe Barbara had replaced June with b Benadarrett Finney. We've got our very old baby, June said, missing out on that show broke her heart. That much was clear. A few months later, Joe called my agent said, we feel very bad about June. We'd like to hire it for something out And I said, you tell him to take a long walk off a short pier. And I didn't work for Bill and Joe

for a long time. But June, Foray was about to start a whole new chapter thanks to a maverick in the animation world named Jay Ward. Jay Ward had not planned on a career in animation. After graduating from Harvard Business School, he opened a real estate office, but on day one, a runaway lumber truck crashed into his office, apparently while Ward had been reciting a poem to his mailman and pinned Ward against a wall. While recovering from his injuries, he decided he wanted to work in cartoons.

His show Crusader Rabbit, which debuted in ninety, was the first animated series produced for television. Down in Texas, they're still talking about the little rabbit that had come down from the United States to wipe out the warld state of Texas. Obviously, the rabbit must have been Crusader Rabbit or grew else would have thought of such a wonderful idea. The drawings and movements may have been simpler and cheaper than the Warner Brothers artwork, but the humor was edgier,

more off kilter. June hadn't heard of Crusader Rabbit or Jay Ward when he came calling in the late fifties, but he was a fan and he had an idea for a show that would help define both their careers. So June tells me that she gets a call from Jay Ward to meet her for lunch. So I thought, oh boy, that's an you know, free lunch. And I met this jocular man with a walrus mustache and he orders martiniz and June although she could hold her own,

and she said, oh, Jay, I can't. I can't drink at lunch, and he goes, oh, come on, you'll love this. We started to talk and he gave me an idea of a most in the Squirrel, which seemed a little odd, but after the second Martini, I thought it was one hell of an idea. Here's Bob's impression of June calling her agent after that lunch from Member. She was four ft eleven and had had two Martini's dies. June, I

love this show. It's about a talking moose and a flag squirrel and it's a complete that tire of the Cold War, and they want me to play. No, I'm not that drunk. It's true. This is this show. The show was Rocky and his Friends. You might know it as Rocky and Bullwinkle, with June Foray as Rocky Rocket. Jay Squirrel was his full name. June also voiced the pots Albanian spy named Natasha Fatal. It managed to be

both smart and supremely silly from start to finish. I'm not sure if more puns have ever been packed into a half hour. But as You went to College, ten state, no state pen. It was a great show. It was a genius, genius show. The series made good use of June's acting range. They were segments like Dudley Dowright, which sent up old fashioned melodramas think Damsel in Distress tied to railroad tracks, and fractured fairy Tales, which put fresh

spins on classic stories. Just then a remarkable thing happened. Sleeping Beauty's eyes opened and she sat up. Don't worry, kids, I wasn't really asleep. Then, Why the big year at I just wanted to see if I could make it in show beers. But the stars were Bullwinkle, the moose, voiced by Bill Scott and June's Rocky Harry Bullwinkles. The show's about the start. The show premiered in nine and maybe people may not know this. It aired in prime

time since it was aimed at adults. Steven Spielberg still remembers watching his parents watch it, As he told The New York Times, it was the first time that I can recall my parents watching a cartoon show over my shoulder and laughing in places I couldn't comprehend. Oh, Minkle, this is terrible. What kind of game can you play with girls? Oh? It is really easy. Children should, isn't it.

Rocky and Bullwinkle ran for five years until nineteen sixty four, living on long afterward in syndication where I discovered it. It's satire, influencing generations of show creators. We offended nations, countries, politicians, school teachers, whether people, no matter what. And unlike her early work with Warner Brothers, June Farrey's name appears in the credits bequit Me, Booby, and your name will be in lights. By the nineteen eighties, June Farrey was kind

of a living legend. And I want companionship. I need to be served if they want to get stuck, I'm not that kind of Here she is returning to radio on The Howard Stern Show, reprising the role of Rocky with Howard as Bullwinkle. In an even more adult version of the original show. What could I go, Bruik, I've got a Woody that won't quit. Hey, I told you

she worked Blue sometimes. Now, when another Landmark animated series was just getting off the ground in the late eighties, naturally, June made an appearance those Simpsons, which a bunch of savages, especially the Big Eight Father. June was on The Simpsons one. She was that's Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson. Again. They brought her in because she's June for Ray and to have her come in and say, you know, the

baby bunky bumper babysitting servies Rocky and Bart. It turns out share something very special Rocky Squirrel in Bartholomy, Jay's Simpson. That j in there is for j Ward. Did you know that? I did not know that. So the genealogy these two great characters are linked. June was revered throughout the animation world. One reason was her talent. June was simply a master of her craft. I'm trying to think of her equivalent on camera. June was the who of

voice acting. You know what this is. It's a big hoo, but I'm gonna say Meryl Streep, oh oh gosh, was the Meryl Streep of voice actors, and she was a genius comedic actress. You know, there's there's certain things you can't learn no matter who you study. With pitch and timing,

you're born with that. How animated physically was she while she was doing her voice work, very um and and as we said earlier, I use a lot of facial expressions, so watching her do Rocky, I can't do Rocky, but she would do this with her lips because it added youth to the character Hoky Smoke. But we go, I can't do the falsetto, but she would do that with

that character Hoky Smoke. Look there and what we're talking Tina's She had a little smile on her face, which was kind of sinister because the k that the doll kills you super spooky twilight killing people who not really but I could hurt you, you know. I remember when we worked on I think it was Space Jam and watching her do Which Hazel and Granny for that she was standing as her arms were flailing all over the place when she was doing Which Hazel double double toil

and trouble, fire burn and cald and bubble. Not bad. So yeah, she totally physically took on every character. To hear Bob Bergan tell it, she was also just a pretty swell person. When is the first time that you work with her? My very first job doing Leoney Tuns, Yeah, it was. It was a cartoon called Tiny Toon Adventures, and I was doing Porky and Tweetie and terrified, you know, um.

And it was at a studio where they had these partition walls between the actors to block the sound, and June was right next to me, and I remember her grabbing my hand and holding my hand as we walked into the studio and she's doing Granny and I'm doing Tweetie and you never you know those feelings when he's like, I think someone's watching me. And I just felt someone watching me from above. And I looked up and June

was standing. She was tiny, She was standing on a chair looking below, and she said, oh, Bob, I swear it was Mel, which, by the way, it didn't sound a thing like Mel. But that was her way of just making me feel at home. Nancy Cartwright met June even later, but she had long felt a kinship. We had a few things in common. Height is one thing that we had in common. They were also two women

who famously voiced boy characters. Producers realized that, you know, you can't hire a real ten year old kid to do a ten year old voice. His pipes are going to be changing, and he's going to go through adolescence. And how many parts would we have now if they really would have stuck to that just as not economical at all. Nancy also gives June a lot of credit for fighting for animation to be treated as an art form.

June led the way to establish the Annie Award so that voice over actors could get acknowledged because at that time we weren't being acknowledged with the with an Emmy, which was wow, that's kind of not okay. And June was a leader and pushing the Motion Picture Academy to award an OSCAR for feature length animated movies, which they finally did in two thousand two. I'd like to think that Lucifer the Cat, the character she played in Cinderella

half a century before, was looking up that night. But just as animation was being taken more serious a sleep in the United States, the opportunities for voice actors began changing. It's no secret for a while now. The big roles, the kind that used to be played by voice actors like June, have been scooped up by actors with familiar faces. What we will never be those of us who aren't well known is uh buzz light Year. We won't be Woody in toy story, but we might be a green

army man. We're called utility players because when you see in the end of a feature movie I animated feature additional voices, that's us. This was a change that dismayed June. She hated it. She did not understand why are they going to people whose faces are known for a part that's recorded. But even June's like, even if they're good, there are people like you and me who can do this, and why are they going to celebrities. It doesn't make sense.

That really bothered her a lot, But even as the the street changed around her, it's veneration for June continued into her nineties. So at the end of her life, there was a Rocky and bullwinkled Geico commercial and from what I understand, they brought June in to record it, and they knew that she was up there in age just to see what happens, and she didn't have the energy. She didn't have she was just frail, so they hired another actress to do it. The other actress's voice ended

up in the ad. Come and I remember that the commercial was airing, and she called me. She goes. I don't know what they were complaining about. I sound great. I know very well the actress who did it. I won't mention names, but they swore her to keep your mouth shut out of respect for June, out of compassion. The industry respected and loved her enough to let her think it was her which and they paid her. I don't think it was a stretch to say to the

ad agency, please pay the queen of this industry. I love everything I do, with all of the parts that I do, because there's a little bit of me and all of them. So many of us really did grow up with June's voices, learning to be irreverent from Rocky and Bowlwinkle at Christmas time, listening to her pure innocence as Cindy lu Whu, or like me, being freaked out by her witch Hazel. Come on, it can't just be me.

But there's this one detail. Bob Bergin told me about June something I hadn't heard before that I find so telling about the care and love that she put into what she did, and it has nothing to do with her voice. She always dressed to the nines recording cartoons to show up for work. Yeah, like she was going over the evening and I would ask her why, and she said, because I respect what I do and I want to make a good impression. I'm going to work.

I always. I always used to think she had something to do after, but no, it was for the job. She had that much respect for what she was doing. I remember one time we did have a conversation she got a little deeper. She said, you know, I think it comes from my radio days, where we have a live audience and everybody in the audience is wearing you know, coat and tie and hats and gloves. The actors did too, So she just carried that over even though there was

no audience there. She dressed the part. She wasn't wearing pajama pants just because she wouldn't be seen listen. If she were still with us, I would say to her, so in your home studio with COVID, what are you wearing? Knowing Jewish you'd have the ear rings and the makeup of all the characters you've played. If one were to deliver a tribute to June for a which would it be? Alive? My little, my little edged you're a magnificently, your magnificent,

You're wonderful, the you're wonderful. They it will be all. I wish there was lets more. And that's all, folks. Well, it looks as if for a time it's just a bone run out.
