They showed part of the speech but mentioned that it went for almost an hour. The campers were totally transfixed on him the entire time. It was one of the most sincere, heartfelt speeches I ever saw. I can remember it vividly. In fact, I saw my old roommate not long ago and he asked me if I still remembered that speech.  |
Exactly the type of thing I was referring to above.
