  So
• 0:57
  we've
• 0:57
  had
• 0:57
  a
• 0:57
  major
• 0:58
  winter
• 0:58
  storm
• 0:59
  across
• 0:59
  most
• 0:59
  of
• 0:59
  the
• 1:00
  country
• 1:00
  here
• 1:00
  this
• 1:00
  past
• 1:01
  weekend.
• 1:01
  And
• 1:02
  like
• 1:02
  all
• 1:03
  school
• 1:03
  children
• 1:04
  and
• 1:04
  many
• 1:04
  adults
• 1:05
  too,
• 1:06
  hoping
• 1:06
  that
• 1:06
  the
• 1:06
  storm
• 1:07
  was
• 1:07
  enough
• 1:07
  to
• 1:07
  maybe
• 1:08
  miss
• 1:08
  school
• 1:08
  or
• 1:08
  miss
• 1:09
  work
• 1:09
  and
• 1:10
  at
• 1:10
  home.
• 1:10
  Here
• 1:10
  we
• 1:11
  have,
• 1:11
  our
• 1:11
  youngest
• 1:11
  is
• 1:12
  in
• 1:12
  a
• 1:12
  junior
• 1:12
  in
• 1:13
  college
• 1:13
  and
• 1:14
  she
• 1:14
  was
• 1:14
  hoping
• 1:14
  that
• 1:15
  her
• 1:15
  classes
• 1:16
  for
• 1:16
  Monday
• 1:17
  would
• 1:17
  be
• 1:18
  canceled
• 1:19
  because
• 1:19
  of
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  weather
• 1:20
  and
• 1:20
  the
• 1:20
  extreme
• 1:20
  cold.
• 1:21
  And
• 1:21
  they.
• 1:21
  Eventually
• 1:22
  they
• 1:22
  were.
• 1:23
  She
• 1:23
  told
• 1:24
  us
• 1:24
  that
• 1:25
  she
• 1:25
  was
• 1:25
  getting
• 1:25
  ready
• 1:25
  because
• 1:26
  she
• 1:26
  wanted
• 1:26
  to
• 1:26
  finish
• 1:27
  reading
• 1:27

  Johnny

  up
• 4:35
  at
• 4:36
  Princeton
• 4:36
  and
• 4:37
  played

  in
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  seasons
• 4:38
  of

  top

  for

• 4:43
  you
• 4:44
  know,
• 4:44
  those
• 4:44
  years.
• 4:45
  So
• 4:45
  obviously,
• 4:45
  you
• 4:45
  know,
• 4:47
  spent
• 4:47
  a
• 4:47
  lot
• 4:47
  of
• 4:48
  time
• 4:48
  on
• 4:48
  the
• 4:48
  field,
• 4:48
  was
• 4:48
  a
• 4:49
  prominent
• 4:49
  player,
• 4:50
  but
• 4:50
  he
• 4:51
  apparently
• 4:51
  wasn't
• 4:51
  much
• 4:51
  of
• 4:52
  a
• 4:52
  student.
• 4:52
  So
• 4:53
  he
• 4:53
  dropped
• 4:54
  out
• 4:54
  of
• 4:54
  school
• 4:55
  shortly
• 4:55
  after
• 4:55
  his
• 4:57
  sophomore
• 4:57
  season
• 4:58
  and
• 4:58
  never,
• 4:59
  you
• 4:59
  know,
• 4:59
  return.
• 5:00
  Now
• 5:00
  he
• 5:00
  returned
• 5:01
  to,
• 5:01
  as
• 5:02
  guys
• 5:02
  did
• 5:03
  back
• 5:03
  then,
• 5:03
  return
• 5:04
  to
• 5:04
  coach
• 5:04
  in
• 5:05
  the
• 5:05
  fall.
• 5:06
  You
• 5:06
  know,
• 5:06
  they'd
• 5:06
  kind
• 5:06
  of
• 5:07
  show
• 5:07
  up
• 5:07
  and
• 5:07
  hang
• 5:07
  out
• 5:07
  for
• 5:08
  a
• 5:08
  couple
• 5:08
  weeks
• 5:08
  and
• 5:08
  coach
• 5:08
  and
• 5:09
  whatever.
• 5:10
  But
• 5:10
  he
• 5:10
  also,
• 5:11
  when
• 5:11
  he
• 5:11
  first
• 5:11
  left
• 5:11
  school,
• 5:12
  he
• 5:12
  coached
• 5:12
  for
• 5:13
  two
• 5:13
  years.
• 5:13
  He
• 5:13
  was
• 5:13
  a
• 5:13
  head
• 5:13
  coach
• 5:14
  at
• 5:14
  Virginia
• 5:15
  and
• 5:15
  then
• 5:15
  he
• 5:15
  was
• 5:15
  the
• 5:16
  coach
• 5:16
  at
• 5:16
  Navy
• 5:17
  for
• 5:17
  a
• 5:17
  year.
• 5:19
  But,
• 5:19
  you
• 5:19
  know,
• 5:19
  he
• 5:20
  just,
• 5:20
  he
• 5:21
  wasn't
• 5:21
  looking
• 5:22
  for
• 5:22
  that,
• 5:23
  the
• 5:23
  kind
• 5:23
  of,
• 5:24
  you
• 5:24
  know,
• 5:24
  business
• 5:26
  sort
• 5:26
  of
• 5:26
  life,
• 5:27
  you
• 5:27
  know,
• 5:27
  and
• 5:27
  I,
• 5:28
  I
• 5:28
  can't
• 5:28
  explain
• 5:28
  why.
• 5:29
  I
• 5:29
  don't,
• 5:29
  you
• 5:29
  know,
• 5:29
  wasn't
• 5:30
  able
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  really
• 5:30
  get
• 5:30
  into
• 5:31
  that.
• 5:31
  But
• 5:33
  so
• 5:33
  instead
• 5:33
  what
• 5:34
  he
• 5:34
  ended
• 5:34
  up
• 5:34
  doing,
• 5:34
  like,
• 5:35
  for
• 5:35
  him,
• 5:36
  he
• 5:36
  ends
• 5:36
  up
• 5:37
  like,
• 5:37
  doing
• 5:37
  stuff
• 5:38
  like
• 5:38
  going
• 5:38
  out
• 5:38
  and,
• 5:39
  you
• 5:39
  know,
• 5:39
  mining
• 5:40
  in
• 5:40
  New
• 5:40
  Mexico
• 5:41
  and
• 5:41
  he'd,
• 5:42
  you
• 5:42
  know,
• 5:42
  work
• 5:43
  as
• 5:43
  a
• 5:43
  cowboy.
• 5:44
  You
• 5:44
  know,
• 5:44
  he
• 5:45
  did
• 5:45
  all
• 5:45
  kinds
• 5:45
  of,
• 5:46
  like,
• 5:47
  kind
• 5:47
  of
• 5:47
  rough
• 5:47
  and
• 5:48
  tumble
• 5:48
  kind
• 5:49
  of
• 5:49
  lifestyle
• 5:49
  things.
• 5:49
  I
• 5:50
  think
• 5:50
  he
• 5:50
  was
• 5:50
  in
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  Yukon,
• 5:51
  you
• 5:51
  know,
• 5:51
  mining
• 5:51
  for
• 5:52
  a
• 5:52
  while.
• 5:54
  But
• 5:54
  then,
• 5:54
  you
• 5:55
  know,
• 5:55
  he
• 5:55
  kind
• 5:55
  of
• 5:57
  found
• 5:57
  his,
• 5:57
  his
• 5:58
  calling.
• 5:58
  I
• 5:59
  guess
• 5:59
  at
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  start
• 6:00
  of
• 6:02
  Spanish
• 6:02
  American
• 6:03
  War,
• 6:03
  he
• 6:03
  enlists
• 6:04
  in
• 6:04
  the
• 6:05
  Maryland
• 6:05
  militia,
• 6:06
  thinking
• 6:06
  he's
• 6:07
  going
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  go
• 6:07
  see
• 6:07
  action.
• 6:08
  And
• 6:08
  then,
• 6:09
  you
• 6:09
  know,
• 6:09
  they
• 6:09
  never
• 6:09
  end
• 6:10
  up
• 6:10
  leaving
• 6:10
  Florida.
• 6:11
  So
• 6:11
  he,
• 6:11
  you
• 6:11
  know,
• 6:11
  he
• 6:11
  never
• 6:11
  saw
• 6:12
  action.
• 6:13
  So
• 6:13
  then
• 6:13
  he,
• 6:15
  he
• 6:15
  joins
• 6:15
  the
• 6:15
  army
• 6:16
  because
• 6:16
  then
• 6:17
  we're,
• 6:17
  you
• 6:17
  know,
• 6:18
  fighting
• 6:19
  some
• 6:19
  rebels
• 6:20
  or
• 6:20
  whatever
• 6:21
  in
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  Philippines.
• 6:22
  He
• 6:22
  goes
• 6:22
  there,
• 6:23
  still
• 6:23
  no
• 6:23
  action.
• 6:24
  He
• 6:24
  was
• 6:24
  some
• 6:24
  kind
• 6:24
  of
• 6:24
  adjutant
• 6:25
  to
• 6:25
  some
• 6:25
  general.
• 6:28
  Then
• 6:28
  he
• 6:28
  joins
• 6:28
  the
• 6:29
  Marines
• 6:29
  because
• 6:29
  they're
• 6:30
  fighting
• 6:30
  in
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  Panamanian
• 6:31
  Revolution.
• 6:33
  Still
• 6:33
  no
• 6:33
  action.
• 6:34
  Then
• 6:35
  he
• 6:35
  joins
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  Honduran
• 6:36
  army
• 6:36
  and
• 6:36
  he
• 6:36
  finally
• 6:37
  sees
• 6:37
  action.
• 6:37
  So
• 6:38
  he's
• 6:38
  like,
• 6:38
  now
• 6:38
  he's
• 6:39
  a
• 6:39
  happy
• 6:39
  boy.
• 6:41
  So
• 6:41
  then
• 6:41
  he's
• 6:41
  doing,
• 6:41
  you
• 6:42
  know,
• 6:42
  whatever
• 6:42
  living
• 6:42
  life.
• 6:43
  And
• 6:43
  then
• 6:44
  World
• 6:44
  War
• 6:44
  I
• 6:44
  starts.
• 6:45
  So
• 6:45
  then
• 6:45
  the
• 6:45
  guy
• 6:46
  joins
• 6:47
  the
• 6:48
  British
• 6:48
  military,
• 6:48
  British
• 6:49
  army.
• 6:50
  And
• 6:50
  he's
• 6:50
  like
• 6:50
  an
• 6:50
  artillery,
• 6:52
  artilleryman.
• 6:53
  So
• 6:53
  he's
• 6:54
  back
• 6:54
  further
• 6:54
  behind
• 6:55
  the
• 6:55
  lines.
• 6:55
  He's
• 6:55
  not
• 6:55
  seeing
• 6:56
  direct
• 6:56
  action.
• 6:56
  He's
• 6:57
  like,
• 6:57
  you
• 6:58
  know,
• 6:58
  I
• 6:58
  need
• 6:58
  to
• 6:58
  go,
• 6:58
  you
• 6:59
  know,
• 6:59
  I,
• 6:59
  I
• 6:59
  want
• 6:59
  to
• 6:59
  be
• 7:00
  in,
• 7:00
  in
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  middle
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  it.
• 7:01
  So
• 7:01
  he
• 7:01
  joins
• 7:02
  the
• 7:02
  Black
• 7:02
  Watch,
• 7:03
  which
• 7:03
  is,
• 7:03
  you
• 7:03
  know,
• 7:04
  famous
• 7:04
  Scottish
• 7:04
  Highlander,
• 7:05
  you
• 7:05
  know,
• 7:05
  regiment
• 7:06
  or,
• 7:06
  you
• 7:06
  know,
• 7:07
  grouping
• 7:07
  within
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  British
• 7:08
  army,
• 7:09
  and
• 7:09
  he's
• 7:10
  with
• 7:10
  them
• 7:10
  and
• 7:10
  you
• 7:11
  know,
• 7:11
  during
• 7:12
  a
• 7:12
  particular
• 7:13
  battle
• 7:13
  in
• 7:14
  near
• 7:16
  IPRA,
• 7:16
  you
• 7:17
  know,
• 7:17
  famous
• 7:17
  World
• 7:18
  War
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  site
• 7:19
  in,
• 7:19
  you
• 7:19
  know,
• 7:19
  Flanders,
• 7:21
  he
• 7:22
  ends
• 7:22
  up
• 7:22
  being
• 7:23
  killed
• 7:23
  in
• 7:23
  action,
• 7:23
  you
• 7:24
  know,
• 7:24
  and
• 7:25
  you
• 7:26
  shot
• 7:26
  in
• 7:26
  the
• 7:26
  stomach
• 7:26
  and.
• 7:27
  And
• 7:27
  died.
• 7:27
  And
• 7:28
  then
• 7:29
  just
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  nature
• 7:30
  of
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  conflict,
• 7:31
  you
• 7:31
  know,
• 7:31
  they
• 7:31
  couldn't.
• 7:31
  They
• 7:31
  couldn't
• 7:32
  find
• 7:32
  his
• 7:32
  body
• 7:32
  afterwards.
• 7:33
  You
• 7:33
  know,
• 7:33
  so
• 7:33
  he's
• 7:34
  still
• 7:34
  out
• 7:35
  there
• 7:35
  somewhere.
• 7:36
  But
• 7:38
  so,
• 7:38
  you
• 7:38
  know,
• 7:38
  he's
• 7:38
  just
• 7:38
  kind
• 7:39
  of
• 7:39
  a
• 7:39
  guy
• 7:39
  who
• 7:40
  it.
• 7:40
  He's.
• 7:41
  It's
• 7:41
  funny
• 7:41
  because
• 7:42
  on
• 7:42
  the
• 7:42
  one
• 7:43
  hand
• 7:43
  he
• 7:43
  ran
• 7:44
  so
• 7:44
  counter
• 7:45
  to
• 7:45
  what
• 7:45
  most
• 7:46
  people
• 7:47
  in
• 7:47
  his
• 7:47
  situation
• 7:48
  did.
• 7:49
  So
• 7:49
  I
• 7:49
  mean,
• 7:50
  it
• 7:50
  wasn't
• 7:50
  unusual
• 7:51
  for
• 7:51
  people
• 7:51
  to
• 7:52
  join
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  military,
• 7:53
  but
• 7:53
  they
• 7:53
  just,
• 7:54
  you
• 7:54
  know,
• 7:54
  if
• 7:54
  you
• 7:54
  were
• 7:54
  a
• 7:54
  Princeton
• 7:55
  guy,
• 7:55
  you
• 7:55
  didn't
• 7:55
  join
• 7:56
  as
• 7:56
  a
• 7:56
  private,
• 7:56
  you
• 7:57
  know,
• 7:57
  you
• 7:57
  didn't
• 7:57
  join
• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  Honduran
• 7:58
  army,
• 7:59
  you
• 7:59
  know.
• 8:00
  You
• 8:01
  know,
• 8:01
  and
• 8:01
  if
• 8:01
  you
• 8:01
  went
• 8:01
  to
• 8:02
  Britain
• 8:03
  a
• 8:03
  lot,
• 8:03
  you
• 8:03
  know,
• 8:03
  a
• 8:03
  lot
• 8:03
  of
• 8:03
  those
• 8:04
  guys
• 8:04
  did
• 8:04
  were
• 8:04
  like
• 8:05
  medical
• 8:05
  or
• 8:05
  ambulance
• 8:06
  cars
• 8:06
  or
• 8:06
  something
• 8:07
  like
• 8:07
  that.
• 8:07
  So
• 8:08
  anyways,
• 8:09
  obviously
• 8:09
  he
• 8:09
  was
• 8:09
  a
• 8:09
  different
• 8:10
  kind
• 8:10
  of
• 8:10
  fella
• 8:11
  and.
• 8:11
  But
• 8:12
  when
• 8:12
  he
• 8:13
  was
• 8:13
  killed,
• 8:14
  and
• 8:14
  this
• 8:14
  IS
• 8:14
  before
• 8:15
  the
• 8:15
  U.S.
• 8:16
  joined
• 8:16
  in,
• 8:17
  you
• 8:17
  know,
• 8:17
  entered
• 8:17
  World
• 8:18
  War
• 8:18
  I,
• 8:19
  they
• 8:20
  decided
• 8:20
  to
• 8:20
  name
• 8:20
  their.
• 8:21
  Princeton's
• 8:22
  Top
• 8:22
  Football
• 8:23
  Player
• 8:23
  Award
• 8:24
  after
• 8:24
  him.
• 8:25
  So
• 8:26
  it's,
• 8:26
  you
• 8:26
  know,
• 8:27
  the
• 8:28
  John
• 8:28
  Po.
• 8:29
  It
• 8:30
  was
• 8:30
  a
• 8:30
  John
• 8:30
  Po
• 8:31
  Award
• 8:31
  or
• 8:31
  whatever.
• 8:32
  And
• 8:33
  then
• 8:33
  later,
• 8:33
  after
• 8:34
  Dick
• 8:34
  Kasmire
• 8:34
  won
• 8:35
  the.
• 8:35
  The
• 8:35
  Heisman,
• 8:36
  they've.
• 8:37
  They've
• 8:37
  made
• 8:37
  it
• 8:38
  the
• 8:38
  Po.
• 8:38
  Kasmire
• 8:39
  Award.
• 8:40
  So
• 8:40
  his
• 8:40
  name's
• 8:40
  still
• 8:40
  out
• 8:41
  there.
• 8:41
  You
• 8:41
  know,
• 8:41
  whoever
• 8:42
  the
• 8:42
  best
• 8:42
  football
• 8:42
  player
• 8:43
  is
• 8:43
  for
• 8:43
  Princeton
• 8:44
  each
• 8:44
  year,
• 8:45
  you
• 8:45
  know,
• 8:45
  still
• 8:45
  gets
• 8:45
  an
• 8:46
  award
• 8:46
  named
• 8:47
  in
• 8:47
  Johnny
• 8:47
  Po's
• 8:48
  honor.
• 8:50
  So,
• 8:50
  you
• 8:50
  know,
• 8:50
  just
• 8:50
  kind
• 8:50
  of
• 8:51
  a.
• 8:52
  You
• 8:52
  know,
• 8:52
  obviously
• 8:53
  this
• 8:53
  was
• 8:53
  a
• 8:53
  story
• 8:54
  for
• 8:54
  that
• 8:55
  I
• 8:55
  published
• 8:55
  on
• 8:55
  Veterans
• 8:56

• 8:56
  So
• 8:57
  it's

  a.
• 8:57
  It's
• 8:57
  a.
• 8:58
  You

  had
• 8:59
  an
• 8:59
  unusual
• 9:00
  life
• 9:00
  and
• 9:00
  so
• 9:01
  it
• 9:01
  results
• 9:01
  in
• 9:01
  an
• 9:02
  unusual
• 9:02
  story.
• 9:04
  And
• 9:04
  especially
• 9:04
  as
• 9:05
  a
• 9:05
  member
• 9:05
  of,
• 9:05

• 9:05
  such
• 9:06
  prominent
• 9:06
  family,
• 9:06
  I
• 9:07

• 9:08
  Yeah.

• 9:08
  mean,

• 9:09
  great
• 9:10
  honor
• 9:10
  to,
• 9:10
  you
• 9:11
  know,
• 9:11
  125
• 9:12
  some
• 9:12
  years
• 9:13
  after
• 9:13

• 9:14
  a

  team,
• 9:14
  you're

  That's
• 9:18
  pretty

  cool.
• 9:19
  And

  I

  He's.

  everything
• 9:30
  that
• 9:30
  he's
• 9:30
  fighting
• 9:31
  it
• 9:31
  just.
• 9:32
  Or
• 9:32
  trying

  fight.
• 9:33
  Yeah,

  just.
• 9:35
  Just.
• 9:35
  What
• 9:35
  a

  testament
• 9:36
  to

  a
• 9:37
  truly
• 9:37
  brave

  person.

  I
• 9:40
  mean,
• 9:40
  you

• 9:41
  you

  could
• 9:41
  use
• 9:42
  some
• 9:42
  other
• 9:43
  adjectives
• 9:43
  as
• 9:44
  well.
• 9:44
  You
• 9:44
  know,
• 9:44
  just
• 9:45
  depending
• 9:46
  on
• 9:46
  your
• 9:46
  perspective,
• 9:47
  whether
• 9:47
  he's
• 9:47
  brave
• 9:48
  or
• 9:48
  just
• 9:48
  nuts
• 9:49
  or,
• 9:49
  you
• 9:49
  know,
• 9:49
  whatever.
• 9:49
  But,
• 9:50
  you
• 9:50
  know,
• 9:50
  obviously
• 9:50
  he
• 9:50
  was,
• 9:51
  you
• 9:51
  know,
• 9:51
  I
• 9:52
  mean,
• 9:52
  people.
• 9:53
  It
• 9:53
  wasn't
• 9:53
  like
• 9:53
  he
• 9:54
  was
• 9:54
  some
• 9:54
  kind
• 9:54
  of
• 9:54
  lunatic,
• 9:55
  right?
• 9:55
  I
• 9:55
  mean,
• 9:55
  people
• 9:56
  respected
• 9:56
  him.
• 9:58
  And

  he,
• 9:58
  you
• 9:59
  know,
• 9:59
  like
• 9:59
  I
• 9:59
  said,
• 9:59
  you
• 10:00
  know,
• 10:00
  he'd
• 10:00
  come
• 10:00

  and
• 10:01
  coach
• 10:02

  on

  the
• 10:15
  practice
• 10:15
  field
• 10:15
  because
