Transcript
00:00If you're gonna cross the river we're to Roka. In January on the 20th day you'll
00:08find eight lasses gathered for a luncheon and seven are wondering where he's gonna pay.
00:14Five of us had schooling at St Cuthie's. Four of us worked at the
00:21Art Town Hall. Six have lived about three quarters of a century. But all eight of us
00:28chose Saria to have a ball. Five of us chose motherhood as I will call and three of us
00:36took a different path, it's true. Of the five-o kids who call them mother. Sister
00:43Frances, well I'd better not be you. We're all son and lasses, that is one
00:50connection. But you have more in common as you see. You've all endured the
00:57extreme humiliation of being embarrassed in a public place by me.
