My name is Dave Frohnmeyer, and I want to thank the Keese family for the invitation, which is an honor and a privilege, to speak these memorial words. With the news of Ken's passing last Saturday so much before his time, came my own empty feeling that he would not yet have received the note that I had dashed off to him late last week when I learned that his medical condition had worsened. And so this occasion for me, my friends, is redemptive, as perhaps it is to you, to speak in a place full of Ken Kesey's spirit about the greatness of his life and my own great admiration for him. I was invited because, as his son Jay put it so aptly, we just lost our best keynote speaker. So how do we remember and salute this justly famous man? His death was marked by a front page notice in Monday's Wall Street Journal, hardly the publication one would have expected in 1964. And as I recall, Ken was still not widely known for his daily following of the NASDAQ or the Dow Jones. Sunday's Oregonian carried these words in its lead editorial. The charismatic, gifted author and 60s icon was among the most famous Oregonians of the 20th century.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=427.2,524.94"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 3:\u003c/strong\u003e Family and friends including a replica of his old bus further gathered here in downtown Eugene today at McDonald's theater to remember Ken Kesey legendary author truly a colorful character.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=527.19,538.97"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 4:\u003c/strong\u003e In Tom Wolfe's book, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.

The box was from Ken. Each was engraved artistically with his own signature in what's known as psychedelic dip. Sailor song for Dave and Lynn. The last go-round for Kirsten. I reread it Sunday night, looking perhaps for some secret message. Because after all, when he and his class helped to compose a novel, they wrote it as OU Levant. That is to say, U of O novel. But there wasn't any secret message. The message was open above and above. It was kin. It was just an act of incredible empathy and kindness, giving something you have created to someone else as an act outreach. When Jed's monument on Mount Pisgah was damaged by vandals, Lynn and I wrote to Ken and Fay of our concern and sent a small contribution to help with the reconstruction, because we always look for that monument as we climb that mountain, a mountain named after the one in biblical terms from which Moses viewed the promised land. Well, we stop now by that reconstructed memorial. And I think Ken was grateful to know how much Judd's life and that monument meant to other people with its glorious outlook over farms, his own farm, valleys, rivers, and the Cascade Peaks, his promised land of Oregon. I know Ken, of course, through his role at the University of Oregon, an energized undergraduate, a champion wrestler who attended matches long after he graduated, an avid duck football fan who wrote of attending the first Rose Bowl in our memory, that is to say of 1957 when he was a senior with his entire family, who then wrote about that over an email message before last year's civil war that ended with a treaty. Any kind heart to help a worn out duck get two tickets. He got his two tickets. Ken Kesey, University of Oregon student recruiter. I know students and other people on the faculty know students who attend quote, because Ken Kasey went here. A master teacher, a person whose lecturers were always standing room only. A stern disciplinarian actually in his creative writing classes, always attended by the best and the brightest, taught by the the best that there is. His awards. The Distinguished Service Award given by the University of Oregon faculty only after careful consideration each year in 1978. In 1984, the Distinguish Alumni Award given the University Of Oregon Alumni Association. The Webfoot Society Award in 1984 by the Athletic Department. The Pioneer Award in 1986 by the university president and the University Oregon Foundation. That bespoke of his deep allegiance and the university's deep appreciation in return of Ken Kesey's monumental contributions and life. Did I know him through his merry pranks? Not well. But I do think of an analog, actually, from a North German town in which I lived once briefly, where Till Eulenspiegel is buried. Till Eullenspiegal, an earlier incarnation of the merry prankster, a person who in medieval times carried with him a mirror and did pranks. And the point of it was to hold a mirror up to other people so that they could see themselves. The notion that humor can illuminate a deeper truth about ourselves that sometimes can be done in no other way. Ken's humor was illuminating, never malicious, never that of ridicule. He had fun and he was. He was a good man and a great man, but frankly he would be less worried about being a great man than a good. He would have wanted to be called that and is justly called that at this hour. His passion for life and intellectual curiosity that was unbounded. His daughter Shannon told me that even in his hospital bed he still took notes or asked others to take notes for him to put in his books. So that he had the raw material of human experience and interaction with which to work. His love of his family, deep, profound. Decency, his influence on us. I would call him authentic in the sense of that word that its Greek root implies—authentic, yourself. He wrote for others, but what he wrote in his own self was extraordinary. I asked his family members if he regarded any particular of his works as autobiographical, and they said no. Ken is in everything that he wrote. His character and presence in so many ways. He said once, I'd rather be a lightning rod than a seismograph, or on magic, some of which we'll see this afternoon. Magic is seeing something that extends beyond the visible. His eyes, amazing because they saw farther. His ears, astonishing because they heard more acutely. His imagination, so grand because it comprehended so completely the complexities of the human soul and experience. I asked a friend of mine who also was a prize-winning novelist what his thoughts might be on this occasion, and among the many that he shared with me, he said these things, and I share them with you. Kesey decided early to be himself and he's a shining example of making that work. He changed American culture and though these changes are somewhat unfashionable now, they were in many ways important, positive, and lasting. He had fun. He then concludes, I only met him once, and alas, until halfway through the conversation, I thought he was wavy gravy. But he gave off such a sense of well-being and generalized benevolence that I will treasure the memory as long as I live. I think we will treasure his memory as we live. I will treasure it in two ways and celebrate it. One is, of course, because of the spirit now in this room and every single time that I and my family hike up Mount Pisgah, stand by that memorial. At the glorious Oregon that he loved, and of which he was such a shining example. To put it in the Latin epitaph, and then to translate it, si monumentum requiet circum If you seek his monument, look around you.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=586.32,1081.41"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 5:\u003c/strong\u003e My name is Sterling Lord, and I've known Ken Kesey since the early 60s and I had the privilege and pleasure of working with him as his literary agent since that time. And almost from the beginning, sort of the tone of Kese, and working with Kese was set. And it happened when the famous bus trip terminated in New York, and the minute they got their keys, he called me, and... Not knowing quite how to classify the trip or how to ask an intelligent question, I said simply, Ken, how was it? And in what came to be a typical Ken Kesey response, he said, Sterling, when we hit New York, the city just rolled over on its back and purred. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you very much. So there was, as I suggested, there was always a lot of fun in working with Ken and a lot of surprises and something new all the time because, of course, his ideas were interesting and new. They were always interesting and new, not only the total concepts but the way he executed them. And it was just very, very exciting to work with him. But the things that I will remember about him, the thing I remember most... Is his generosity. He was giving, he was always giving. This last Sunday when I got out here, I called my daughter in Florida, she's 36, and she had met Ken three times. She met him when he was five, when she was five. She met when she 12, and then the two of us were in, met Ken in Toronto again in about 12 years ago. And uh... And my daughter was a little weepy. And she said, you know Dad, she said I always felt safe and loved when I was with Ken. It was as if his heart was reaching out and touching my heart. And that was one of Ken's gifts, and it's a gift that I'll always remember him for, and I know my daughter will too, as will many others. I'd like to finish just by reading the last two paragraphs of an extremely interesting article in today's Register Guard by a man named John Darling. I'm reading this without his permission. And he says, I want my grandchildren and to live in an America. Where they name a school or a mountain after Keesee. Yes, yes, yeah. Yes, psychedelia underlay much of it, and it's not politically or morally correct to give that credit for anything. So we'll keep saying that was a movement in American, sorry, that was non-event in American cultural history. Kesey didn't do the things he did to get merit badges and invitations to speak at the Rotary Club. Somewhere back there, Kese saw the face of the beast, the dark side. Of a free society that works to snuff out freedom. And he spent his life not giving evil for evil, but pranking its pants off.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=1108.7,1327.33"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/10","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 6:\u003c/strong\u003e Along the western slopes of the Oregon coastal range. Come look, the hysterical crashing of tributaries as they merge into the Wakanda Agar River. The first little washes flashing like thick rushing winds through sheep's sorrel and clover, ghost fern and nettle, shearing, cutting, forming branches. Then through bearberry and salmonberry, Blueberry and blackberry, the branches crashing into creeks, into streams. Finally, in the foothills, through Tamarack and Sugar Pine, Shidembark and Silver Spruce, and the green and blue mosaic of Douglas Fir, the actual river falls 500 feet. Opens out upon the fields. Metallic at first, seen from the highway down through the trees, like an aluminum rainbow, like a slice of alloy moon. Closer, becoming organic, a vast smile of water with broken and rotting pilings jagged along both gums, foam clinging to the lips. Closer still, it flattens into a river, flat as a street, Cement gray with a texture of rain. Flat as a rain-textured street, even during flood season, because of a channel so deep and a bed so smooth, no shallows to set up buckwater rapids, no rocks to rile the surface, nothing to indicate movement except the swirling clots of yellow foam skimming seaward with the wind and the thrusting groves of flooded bam bent, taut, and trembling by the pool of silent, dark momentum. A river smooth and seeming calm hiding the cruel file edge of its current beneath a smooth and calm seeming surface. The highway follows its northern bank. The ridges follow its southern. No bridges span its first 10 miles. And yet, across on that southern shore, an ancient two-story wood frame house rests on a structure of tangled steel, of wood and earth and sacks of sand, like a two-storey bird with split-shake feathers. Sitting fierce in its tangled nest. Rain drifts about the windows. Rain filters through a haze of yellow smoke, issuing from a mossy stone chimney into slanting sky. The sky runs gray, the smoke wet yellow. Behind the house, up in the shaggy hem of mountainside, these colors mix in windy distance, making the hillside itself run a muddy green. On the naked bank between the yard and Humming River's A pack of hounds pads back and forth, whimpering with cold and brute frustration, whimpering and barking at an object that dangles out of their reach over the water, twisting and untwisting, swaying stiffly at the end of a line tied to the tip of a large fur pole, jetting out of a top story window, twisting and stopping, slowly untwisting in the gusting rain Eight or 10 feet above the flood's current, a human arm tied at the wrist. Just the arm, look. Disappearing downward at the frayed shoulder where an invisible dancer performs twisting pirouettes for an enthralled audience. Just the arms turning there above the water. For the dogs on the bank, for the blinking rain, for the smoke, the house, the trees. And the crowd calling angrily from across the river, Stamper! Hey, god damn you anyhow, Hank, stamper! And for anyone else who might care to look.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=1355.95,1608.99"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/11","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 7:\u003c/strong\u003e Well, Ken and I did about two dozen shows together over the years.

And so I thought that I would sing a song from the river show. In the river shows, Ken was a town crier, and he was a hell of a...

Which he was good at. And I was lucky enough that we spent a lot of time together. I was saying the other night when I was helping dig a grave, I would dig a shovel full for every year I knew him. So I dug 42, and then I woke up in the middle of the night last night and went, oh my god, it's been 43. So I still owe him one. So I was 43 years ago at Stanford University in the writing class that we met. Along with a bunch of other guys that Bob Stone, Wendell Barry, Ed McClanahan, Larry McMurtry, Ernie Gaines, that was singular and a sinecure of moments to praise and apprise and even try to squeeze out of your mouth if you could only find the words. In that, the whole class, instead of getting into a bitter, acrimonious scene with one other. Competitive. Who's the best rider? Critical of each other's attempts, everybody backed each other fully. And from that moment on, and we've known each other ever since, very closely, all the guys in that class have been one man's success, has been every man's successful.

Which one? I had to go in the Marine car, well I chose to go into the Marine Car, Kesey had the separated shoulder from wrestling so he was 4F. So he went to the Nut House instead, I mean to work. And so all the time I was gone, we would exchange letters, and I'd get together with him on leaves and stuff. So we stayed in real good contact and knew that we had a lot of other things we were going to do together. So fortunately, I came home OK and got out of the helicopter and onto the bus. At that time, we were both ready to put writing behind us. And the reason was is because the act of writing is such a slow, tedious thing. And we were into a sped up, instantaneous, creative world in which you went right now with whatever you could come up with and let it all just go. So we would lie on the floor at his house, and each of us have a microphone and turn out all the lights. And we would make up a novel from beginning to end and play all the parts and do all the dialog. And we said, now that's writing. Where are those books, sir? And it was just the slightest step forward to, well, we were, you know, Keezy, I'm gonna spend a lot of time here today, I hope you don't mind, setting things straight. You read all this stuff and, by the way, if anybody wants to get up and go to the bathroom or take a break, just go ahead, I don't mine. Steve over here, he'll take notes on who it is. Where was I? Oh, yes. I was back in 1921 when Krauts were coming over the hills. It was only a step from writing and doing the thing on the floor, wrapping the novels, into acting out the parts and filming the parts, because that's the thing about Kesey. He did not graduate from the U of O in English. And he did not graduated in journalism, although at that time... Uh... They didn't have a degree and dramatic arts because drama was his thing so he had to take the degree and uh... Journalism uh... In uh... What was it chuck i can't remember Ready on television, that's what it was. So we got the cameras. George Walker bought a little Bull X keys. He got a 16 millimeter camera, a big air flex. And we started filming everything we did. And then when the time came that he was going to go back to New York in 64 for the coming out party of sometimes a great notion, we were into it full swing. By then, the merry band of pranksters had formed. The core group was there all day, every day, doing the work, getting things ready. Hassler, and Hagen, and Sandy, and Roy, and well, all the rest of them. All the rest are the crazy people, working hard. And we said that this was a mission fraught with danger, that you had to be in your best shape, physically and mentally. And it was at the same time, Sputnik and all that stuff. We were and still are the astronauts of inner space. Go where no man has gone before. And bring the women and kids along too. So our plan was to head out on that bus, go to New York, and do the whole book thing in New York and everything. But along the way, film and tape our interaction with the American people. And that the plot and the storyline would be whatever developed in front of us. That with our acute knowledge and sensory alertness, we would rise to the occasion and join in on the drama and take it to lovely areas that would make for a great movie. And this was in 1964, as you know, so we'll get to the 80s here in an hour or so. But it all came true. And one of the best things that Kesey did on that bus trip was sending Hassler down to this bookstore, where Cassidy was down there, messing around, looking through some books or something. At this time, Neil Cassidy, you all know who he is, the hero of On the Road, Dean Moriarty, best friends with Jack Kerouac. But by then, he had had to do two years in San Quentin for two joints. He, his wife divorced him. He had a job recapping tires in a place in San Jose. And Keese says to Hasser, go down and get him. And Hasser brings him up there. And Kease's talking to Cassidy, trying to convince him to make this trip. And Cassidy says, what? He says, you mean we make movies all day? He says and afterwards we edit them and put them out. And he says, after that? And Keas says, well, he says that's just the beginning. It'll lead to other things. And Neil said... You mean I'm going to be a movie star in my declining years? And Kesey said, there's nothing I would rather do for you. Well, you've all read all the articles about the name Further. And you've seen all the spellings of the word Further. And people write on email to the office all the time is, what's the story on this? We see the bus with this, that, and everything. And I said, well, should I put a thing on a website explaining what the name is and everything? And he says, are you kidding me? He says, that's one of the best things about it. He says it's that nobody knows. He says let's just keep it that way. He says for some people it's one way. For another people, it's another way. And of all the people who was most adamant about it was Stanley Owsley, known as the Bear, one of the great men of Kentucky, the other being Ed McClanahan, and Wendell Berry of course. So what? So Owsley was adamant that it had to be f-u-r-t-h-u r because it was original and it implied this that and the other thing you know inside He went back to all the reason why it wasn't and all this new thing. He just had a fit So let's just keep that one going, huh? That's a good idea. So anyway, to bring us up another couple of months. After we got back from the bus trip, we went to work on the movie. But what we didn't realize was the job we had set up for ourselves with just one big bear of a task, because we were shooting the film with 16 millimeter, but we were doing the sound on the tape recorder, reel-to-reel Sony tape recorder on the bus, Sandy running it. And the power was coming from the generator in the back of the bus. And sometimes the generator would run too fast, So he'd play the tape back, and he's going... And other times it would be going too slow and you play the tape back.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=2806.63,3271.26"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/26","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 8:\u003c/strong\u003e Hey, buddy, what you going to do with him?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=3271.57,3272.75"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/27","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 10:\u003c/strong\u003e And so we had to say, hey, wait a minute. We got to match that picture with that sound? So we really tried. We were back in La Hondo, all of us there working, cutting, and editing every day. And we finally decided, listen, this may never happen again. We're going to take all 28 hours of the movie and the tapes. We're gonna end it, and we're going to watch it straight through. And we did. We started like on a Saturday night and we played that thing all the way through from beginning to end. And I think that's the only time that's ever happened. And the thing that happened that stopped the whole thing was we got arrested. And so when anybody asked, he'd say, well, why didn't you put that film and tape together when you guys back in the 64? He says, well we tried, but we got arrested, if you think about it. Yeah, we were stopped short. But we persevered. And we were there still at Lahanda, still putting together. And we would put together a little bit. And we'd show it on Saturday nights. And pretty soon, from all over the Bay Area, people were just pouring in there to La Honda and spending Saturday night and making the biggest mess in the world, leaving poor Faye every Sunday morning, getting up and having to face that mess. And so we decided, well, let's get it out of the house. So this is how the acid tests were born. And Bobby Weir and Bill Kreutzman and Jerry Garcia and Pig Pen and Phil Esch were around. And they started coming to the shows and playing together and The whole thing just took off like crazy, like we never expected in the world to ever happen in the showbiz angle of things. And of course, we all know what happened with the Grateful Dead. I think they went to Kokomo, Indiana, or somewhere like that and disbanded. Just kidding. But the thing that Keesey said when Jerry died, which was great, was that of. He says, well, what is this all about? He says when one person dies, the whole thing stops and ends. He says that is not a real movement. He says it's a real moment when the movement goes on no matter what. Thank you. So when Sterling read that thing about that guy, John Darling, in the paper, and he said that was a non-event, well, I gave him credit for trying to be sarcastic or funny, but that was not a non event. The 60s were not a not an event. Psychedelic is not a nonevent. I mean, it's still going on. It's a psychedelic world. I'll never forget the time I was driving up the Mackenzie Highway with my 80-year-old mother in the car, and I was trying to tell her, Mom, I said, it's a psychedelic world. Because she said, why are you doing all these things? Why are you like this? Where'd you come from anyway? And I said, mom, it's a psychedelic world. I said when meatball hit, it hit the rocks. It hit the trees. It hit to cows. It hit clouds. It hit everything. It's a psychidelic world, and she's, oh, I'll never believe that for a minute. And just then, a bug hit the windshield. And out on the other side was this frog with this big tongue, lapped it up like that, and a bird came down, snatched that frog and went flying off. And I say, see, mom? I said that's psychedelic.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=3274.56,3478.5"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/28","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 11:\u003c/strong\u003e And she says, oh, fiddlesticks.

As Kesey said, many have tried to climb that mountain, but all have failed. And so you read a lot of things about people who only want Keezy to be a writer. They don't want him to be anything but a writer, like Bob Dylan. They don't want him be anything but a folk singer. And so they think Keezie's never written, but I'll tell you, I know personally, he's written stuff every day of his life and has amassed a pile of stuff that big that we're going to be able to share for a long, long time. And all during the 70s, we had settled in Pleasant Hill, he and his family and me and my family, so all our kids could go to Pleasant High School. And we always liked that, because out in Pleasant Hill, we're Pleasant hillbillies. We're not mean, harassable or anything like that. We're Pleasent hillbilly. It's always been our thing. So during that 70s. One of the things that we learned from the bus was that, oh, and this is true for all of you here and everybody in the world. If you want to be a painter, you want to be poet, you wanna be a musician, anything like that, you want do, just go ahead and do it. Because the sign of success is not going to an art gallery or to a publisher or to big hall where you play. The sign of successful is doing it, expressing yourself creatively. And don't ever let. All those things of failure, of not making it to the big time, be a reason to quit. And I would like to stand up in front of you today with my trombone and play it, Except Steve told me if I did, he'd wrap it around my neck. So when we were there in the 70s in Pleasant Hill, holding down the home fort, we were still very busy. At the same spirit as that, we decided to take over the publishing industry, at least from our end of it. And we started publishing a little magazine called Spit in the Ocean. And in that, Keesey was writing a chapter, every issue, called Seven Prayers for Grandma Whittier. And we managed to do six of them. And when he was working on the seventh, it was Grandma Smith, who was the inspiration. Died and he never had the heart to go ahead and finish it. And so everybody's saying, oh God, what about spitting the ocean number seven, now we're never gonna see it. But guess what? It is written. It's somewhere in that pile of stuff. I've seen it. And he might not have liked it then, but I think we'll take a look at it and see if we'll like it now. Let's get spit seven out. Another great thing he did here with a group he formed called It's Art and Trip and Trip Society for Artistic Revolutionary Training. A real currency that we deal with is the spirit. He says that's the true currency, he says and if you want to be rich, you must be rich in spirit and when you're wealthy you can share spirit and you can be totally liberal with the gifts of the spirit and let everybody have richness of spirit. So that was a good example of that. And so when the Thurston tragedy happened, and he was really shook up about that, he wanted to come up with something, but couldn't get the right thing, he came up with the whole ban the bullet thing. Because I think it was Kate told him, Grandpa, if guns are legal and protected by the Constitution, what about the bullets? He said, the bullets. Hey, the bullet. Nobody's protected the bullets, let's, everybody can have guns, let just ban the bullets! So he made up t-shirts, we still have them, and sell them, ban the bullet. But on the other hand, this peace-loving guy, gentleman, grew up hunting and around guns. And we went hunting a few times. We all gave it up. But this one time down there at the farm, some people broke into their house. That he says that When things come to a pinnacle and one person sits at the top and then that person goes and everything falls like this, the person himself isn't gone, his spirit isn't gone, it just spreads out over more and more people who then carry the load. And a good example of that is The Grateful Dead when Jerry died. Look at how many great, great bands there are now going around. Bob and Mickey and Billy and Phil and everybody. Keeping it alive. And then these other bands like Fish and String Cheese Incident. Then that one was here the other night, the Dark Star Orchestra. And Dave Nelson. Don't forget him either. So that it's all still alive. It isn't dead. The The flesh may be gone, but the work continues. The thing goes. He tells a story about back in the Middle Ages when Urgot had gotten into the wheat, and everybody was going crazy, and the king called the Baal Shem Tov. And he says, what are we going to do, Baal shem? And Baal Shim says, I'll tell you what we'll do. He says, we'll put an X on our foreheads. That way, and then we'll eat. But that way, we'll know that we chose to go crazy. And it's been proven in many an insane situation. The only way you can keep your sanity is to act crazy. So all of us, and everybody that loves Keesey, we all have the X on our foreheads. We all know each other. But as he also says, we will always be in the minority. He says we can't expect the majority to follow our way right now. But when we go out and continue to be nice to people, kind to people. Show mercy to people, love people, spread that goodness. That's the work that will continue on and will change the world. Because he said, he still says, our job is nothing else than saving the world. So Faye called me at five in the morning. I'd been down to the hospital and saw him and then went home. And she called me five to say that he had passed away. So I jumped in the car and ran or drove straight to the hospital and went up to the room. And the place was empty, deserted. I mean, and it had been packed with people. And when in the room where he was, it was completely empty. I thought, what's going on here? And so I said, well, she must be home. I'll go drive over to Keezie's farm. I drove down there. Fog went over everything. The light was just coming on the land and there was this huge swarm of birds. Okay, I'll get through this. And right in front of Keezie's driveway, where I was turning in, and they were all in that field across the street. I mean, there were millions of them. And by tomorrow, there are gonna be billions of them! As I came up there, I was thinking, you know, one of the signs of a really gentle person is the number of birds around their place. And there have always just been every kind of bird you can imagine around that place. And as I'm thinking that and looking. They all fly away. That was his spirit.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=3493.17,4011.049"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/30","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 8:\u003c/strong\u003e Thanks a lot.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=4026.42,4026.9"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/31","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 9:\u003c/strong\u003e If you are able, would you please stand and help me sing this hymn?

So I don't want to go around and talk, you know, being a governor for 15 years, I'm going to talk for hours and that would not give me the opportunity to interact with you and find out what's on your mind and find how we can do a better job as an administration and how I can personally do a good job representing you. And representing this great senator and do the job necessary to improve the quality of lives of all of our citizens. And that's what the Department of Health and Human Services is all about. We're the one department that interacts with each of you, every man, woman, child, every single day. We're not the only department. And we're the department that can define what compassionate conservatism really is. You know, we're regulating the food between... Medicines that you take, the hospitals you move, and the medical system, and it's a tremendous responsibility. It's very humbling for me to be in this role. So, ladies and gentlemen, I'm just delighted to be here on behalf of Senator Smith. I thank you very much for this invitation, and I really appreciate this tremendous amount of turnout this morning. And hopefully we can get into some good questions and answers, and hopefully I'll be able to respond to some of your needs.

And I know they, and you'll hear from people today, they always get it through our labs, we just don't have, we don't the equipment, we don't t have the personnel. Is there anything that you're looking at doing that would in fact help the states beef up their local health departments, which are really the first behind the defense. That's question number one.

That is a vaccine that there's not a lot of improvement been made in that over the last several years because we wiped out smallpox.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=4612.98,4669.889"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/39","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 8:\u003c/strong\u003e Guys, let me just start off by thanking you. Thank you for your dedication and your public service. It's wonderful to be here with you on this program, with you and Senator Speck, and I wish you nothing but the best. Your questions, you know, speak for themselves. There's no question in America, we have, we have just let our public health systems just sort of It needs a lot of new resources. What we're talking about in the administration, firstly, we're going to purchase new drugs. We're going purchase the necessary vaccine for smallpox. And then we're going to put money into planning for expanded hospital beds. For search capacity factors is a need for additional hospital beds in a particular community. And I've also made arrangements with the Department of Defense to be able to bring in some of the mobile hospitals if in fact we need them. Fourth, we want to be able to get a better education system. And what we're talking about there, we have the Health Alert Network, which is set up with about 65% of the counties in America. I want to able to expand that. In which we will be able to, through CDC, be able to hook up to every local health department in America and be able give you up-to-date information, be able get you the kind of information you're requesting, you know, that you can call in the CDC and find out about this infectious disease and be a little bit finer on how to diagnose it and how to cure it and what sort of therapies and treatments, and that needs to be done. We need to be able to set up a situation so we have epidemiologists that are training in the land. And every state health department, paid by the federal government, you need more than one, you need several, in order to be able to put out into the local community city. Oregon's a large state. You've got to be in the east and the west, and you've got different problems on each side. And you've gotta be able to have these epidemiologists go out and put on training programs for the emergency hospitals. Laboratories, there's just no question. You know, we have a hookup with 81 labs in America, It's called a lab network. And they're overworked. And every time you have a situation like anthrax, you get a lot of people you know that are getting petrified. We've had situations where people brought in powdered donuts into a factory, and the people ate the donuts but left the powder on the plates. And somebody came in afterwards and called the 911 and came in and wanted to know what's anthraxx. And this is the kind of problems we're having all over America. And most don't come up negative, but you don't know. And so I can assure you, our proposal is $1.6 billion. Senators Kennedy and Fritz and Smith are putting together another proposal that's closer to $3 billion. And I think that is more in line with what we need in order to really improve the quality and strengthen our laboratories, our health departments, both at the state and local level. In regards to smallpox, I want to tell you that the $15.4 million we have is very important. And we have tested it for efficacy and safety and also for its stability. And NIH is doing a study right now comparing slitting at 5 to 1, 10 to 1 and 100 to 1. And we've found by slitting 10 to one we would be able to, at that point still, after being produced in the 60s and 70s. That it would still cover 70% of the people. But that's not good enough for us. And 5 to 1, we're testing right now, we think there would probably be an effective rate of about 90% to 95%. We think that is where, if we did have a smallpox break out, that that's what we would do in order to get more people inoculated. We do not think that there's going to be a smallpox epidemic, but we want to be prepared. There are only two countries that allegedly have the virus, the United States and Russia. There are some discussions that North Korea and Iran also got some of the virus from Russia. We have not been able to confirm that, but there's a high degree of suspicion that they have it. But so far, our intelligence that we're briefed on every has not picked up any place where we've had any kind of outbreak of smallpox. Any place in the world. And we're watching it very closely. But the new smallpox, we're negotiating. Last week, for the last four weeks, we've been negotiating with the large pharmaceutical companies to produce vaccine, Congresswoman. And last week we sent out a request for information. We sent out to seven companies, and we were shocked to find out that ten companies sent back. And we then had a scientific panel look at it, and they got it down to four. We sent our request for proposal on Friday afternoon, and the companies had to get their proposals into the department, into my department, by nine o'clock this morning, Washington time, so they had to work all weekend. And we are fairly comfortable that we will be able to have a brand new vaccine that's better and does not cause as many side effects as the original one. The side effects of the original is somewhat difficult, but there are some dramatic side effects. And so we think it's going to be vastly improved. It's not going to be from a live cow, which the original one was, this was going to be a virus that has to be grown in the laboratory. And we feel that we will actually be able to start production sometime this year on the new vaccine. Thank you very much.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=4673.6,5047.18"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/40","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 4:\u003c/strong\u003e She's Mark Roker with the World Police Department. Thank you very much. Yeah. We have a little bit of a concern I wanted to pass along to you, particularly it's a concern that arose in Toronto recently as I met with the nation's major city chiefs. And that is a concern, that we are focused a little now on what we have seen happen and our responses to the future based on what has happened. For example, airplanes in the buildings or anthrax dispersed in the way that it has been. When we are thinking that what is next in the way could be something very much more sinister, for example, a blast dispersion of chemicals or a blast of biological agents and so forth. And when that moment comes, should it come, God forbid, that the first responders are going to be the ones who will save the day or make the outcome that we would vote for witness New York in first response there at World Trade Center, for And so my question, I guess, is one that arises out of frustration, myself included, with these other Chiefs of Police who are asking a question. With all the discussion that is happening now with the federal family of agencies and the carving out of budgets and technology and planning, Where is the role for local law enforcement and emergency providers there? What is being done to make sure that everyone... Their budgets are considered and the fact that their response in the end could be the difference between massive loss of life or massive saving of life.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=5047.62,5160.8"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/41","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 8:\u003c/strong\u003e Chief, thank you so very much. First, let me just thank you for the great job that you do and all the people associated with the first responders and the fire departments in place here. One, there's always some way that it comes out of a plan to be like we were this past September 11th. And one of the good things that I have noticed is a higher appreciation of law enforcement I would just like to say on behalf of the President and all Americans, thank you for a job that all of you did. In regards to that, it's absolutely ill-tilled and imperative that we work with them. We can't do this without you. Without the local responders and the local police department being involved in setting policy and getting protected and protecting them in the first instance, we're going to lose lots of people. And the thing that happened in the anthrax, We need to be able to respond quickly so that more people do not die, more people than that get sick. Usually in relation to that is when you lose about 80% of the people. Any time you lose somebody, you know, as the police officer and I do as well, somebody at the public services, it's going to be a loss. But in this case, we only lost 40 percent, and that's because our health departments were there quickly. The reason that we didn't lose more people in New York City, the collapse of the towers, was because of the first three commodities in the environment and they're getting people out. We have to do that. And we have some chemical spills. We have do a better job in the future planning for emergencies. I think we've done an AYK job in the past, but we have to now recognize that America is not as safe as we thought it was all this time. We're going to have to spend more time with the local police, local chiefs, the first responders, the fire departments across America, developing emergency plans. And that's what part of this emergency planning is all about. And a lot of the extra resources that's going to be going through Congress on the emergency planning is going to need for just what you're talking about and getting us prepared. And so I think your message is getting out there loud and clear, and I think you're going to see a good response with Congress finding itself a proposal. That's going to be good, but it's really an education, regardless of the health side. I have been speaking all over America on the needs for a strength of public health system. At the same time, CDC and I are holding weekly teleconferences with state public health officers. Last week, I talked to a state public officer via teleconference, also the state laboratory leaders, and we've been also talking to local public health officer, and we need to keep doing that. We met with the emergency AMA, the American Hospital Association. Last week we had a teleconference with doctors. We had 70,000 doctors on the telephone listening to how to better diagnose. We need to do that, not only in Portland, it's one of those categories, but I think that it is, and we need to strengthen that. I would like to be able to put extra money. We have more than 122 cities involved in that. And then develop coalitions of those types across America. But your message is being heard and we're responding.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=5162.95,5383.61"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/42","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 12:\u003c/strong\u003e The next question is from Dr. Grant, thinking about the Oregon's public health officer.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397#t=5385.36,5388.559"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71444/file/157397/transcript/89884/annotation/43","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 4:\u003c/strong\u003e Health terrorism is really being fought on the front lines at the local level.
