Are you going to your 20 year reunion? Yes. Is it here in town? Martinsville, I think. Okay. I graduated
Martinsville. That's right. You did. I sure did. That's exciting.
However, this time it's, I'm really excited about it, Kimmy. So, also, in the next upcoming, when you
come back on the Let it Be's show on a new episode, we're doing a dance skit. Oh, I'm looking forward
to that. So, look forward to that. And also, my mom teach me how to dance when I was 18 years old. Oh,
so for the next show you can teach me how to dance. I will do that.
Okay, that would be great. I've done it for, I've done it before for 18 years. After your mom taught

with Denise and Peggy and yeah. So yeah, still working behind the scenes. I'm not coaching special Olympics
right now, but I'm still helping and volunteering doing other things.
Right. So, uh, Kim, are you going to do special Olympics next year? You think? Um, I'm, we'll see. So

Kimmy, I have five dance skits I'm gonna, we'll be doing when you come back on the Leonard Beasley show.
So, my favorites. And also, we'll be wearing heels on that show. Boy dance? Yes. So, anyway, I'll be

it's going to be great. Uh, I will show you how

break, it was scheduled next videotaping session during the commercial break. That makes sense. However,
we'll be having jeans and heels. Jeans and heels sounds like a plan.
All of the two of us are doing a get dance get. Okay. So I'm sure you have it at home, right? I'm sure
I can find it. So, and, um, yeah. Crack you up while with a Steven Rentschler. Yes. You ask Lee rabbit.

in 72? 72. Maybe 71. I forget. 71 or 72. That'd be 42, 41 years. Long time.
Well, long marriage, so that's really long marriage of 40 some years. And never married. Never married.
You never been married at all. Nope, that's true. Zero marriage. Yes, that is true. So me too. So, yep,

So, yep, I really, I know a couple people who used to work at Bloomington Harbor. I know one of them,
it's Jason. Jason Ziegler, so. Have I, I don't think I've met Jason. Has he been to your, has he been

to 11th Street Church.
Do you know of someone else named Jason? Jason. Is there a Jason that works here at the library? Raggy.
Okay. That's the name I know, I think. Yep. The Jason Ziegler used to work at Bloomington Hardware.
The baldhead guy. Okay. And you're still there and at McDonald's and here. I'm still there. Yep.
You're very, very busy. Yes, absolutely indeed.
So indeed, indeed, Kimmy. So I'm really excited. And I'm, so your dad is still greatly missed. Very,
very missed. Yes. Very, very missing. He was young. He was very young. He was 62. I think 62. Yes.
He was 62. And, um, he, uh, once his birthday, June 29th, uh, he died in March and he was 62. He would
have been 63.
That's right. Would have been 63, so. Still very young. Yeah, very, still very young. So, he's not even,
he was not a senior citizen. No, that's true. So, he won't be again. He won't, he never will, so. No,
he's in heaven now. He is. So, there will be no senior citizen. Not for him. Not for him. That's true. So, yep.
So, your mom is, right? She is now. She's sixty-six. Wow. She is now, so... Maybe I shouldn't have said
that on TV. Oops. She won't care. Right. That's okay. It's okay. So, apparently, she's... How is Nicole,
your sister? She's great. She just recently got a new job, and she lives in Indianapolis. Wow. She's
wonderful. She's one of my very favorite people.
Yes, and you and your sister, that's it, right? Unless you count my mom's dog. Yep. His name's Zach.
Zach. Oh yeah. He's kind of like another child, but he's a dog. Yep. However, that was great. So Nicole
never been married, right? Wow. You and Nicole never been married. That's true. Wow.
something, isn't it? So, yes, indeed. So, I'm glad you're doing well in training, volunteering track
and field. Yeah. Is that right? Yeah, volunteering. Well, and just helping with all the volunteers.
Right, all the volunteers. For all the sports. Yes, absolutely. Indeed. So, and then, of course, IU,
right? And, of course, Special Olympics.
However, this time, I'm so glad to see you. And before the taping, I'm glad you noticed. I hope you'll
get well soon. Thank you. So I heard that you wasn't feeling well before the taping, during the commercial
break, before we came back on the show. That's true. But it was important for me to be here.
So it's important for you to be here tonight on The Leonard Beasley Show. So I already am having a great
time. And of course, I've done taping sessions with Tim and Amber Mestre. Amber Mestre works at the
library and one of my announcers of The Leonard Beasley Show. And she's been doing it for three years.
Amber is. And then Tim Thompson joined the team. That's great.
And we lost a couple announcers, two announcers. One of them's taking a break. So it's Jared Cheek.
He's taking a break. He's covering in all the positions at the library because people left the library,
no longer work there. And the other one, Jane Cronkite, no call, no show, double whammy.
And then the second time is also double whammy. That means a total quadruple whammy when she's out.
I'm glad you have a new team then. That's exciting. So she's Jane Cronkite is no longer as announcer.
She got terminated. So now you have Amber and Tim. Amber's already still there. Amber's still there,
but Amber still hanging on. She's been doing this for three years.
And we just got Burrow, new announcer for 2018, and Nyorina, also announcer for 2018. And now we just
had introducing Tim Thompson as an announcer. The announcer team is growing right now, yes. So to fill
in, so we're also looking for at least three more.
Five more would be great. So, five more would be absolutely great, Kimmy. So, and of course, I absolutely
would love to have you as an announcer one day. Yeah, maybe one time. I don't think I can join the team,
but. Yep, so. I'm happy to help out one time. All right, so. Well, I'll help you with, I'll do the scripts
and then all you do is read it, so.
So, um, that's all there is to it. So, and of course I already, uh, having a two tag team, um, which
means two announcers on the Leonard Beasley show will announce in each episode. I think, uh, we're starting
out, we're starting doing a tag team in each new episode of Leonard Beasley show. I think we got four
13 or I think it's 13 announcers. I'm, I'm maybe.
Wrong, but either 12 or 13 announcers. That's a lot, either way. Either way, but since we have a lot
of announcers growing team, however, I think it's a good idea to do a tag announcing in each new episode.
So I think it's looking that way so far. So apparently the rest of the season, however, in season five,
Sounds like you have a plan. I think it's gonna be a good plan so far. All of this is the finalization,
so that's it. However, at this time, Kimmy, so what do you think of being on the show tonight? Well,
I'm happy to be here. Yes, you are absolutely happy to be here tonight on the show. And of course, are
you looking forward to coming back and doing a
A dance skit? It'll be nice to have you teach me how to dance like your mom taught you. That'll be nice.
That'd be absolutely wonderful. You're absolutely right, Cami. I absolutely will love to teach you how
to dance. I've done this before. I've done this for 18 years now. So you have experience. Yes,
I sure do. Absolutely. From my mom. However, and that means it's really awesome, isn't it? Yeah, it is.
It's nice to have those memories and to have that skill. Yes. On the next Let It Be Easy show for you
or your appearance, there will be a dance skit. Okay. At least we're going to do at least three songs,
favorite songs. Maybe four or five. I'm going to put it in planning centers. Okay. Let It Be Easy show
planning center in my laptop.
So anyway, I'm delighted to have you on the Land of Easy Show. I appreciate you having me here. So,
