John: So how do you see the future of Joan De Arc Avenue? Are the best years still to come?
Helen: Well I don't know, it's certainly changed.
Bill: There was a time when it was going downhill there. There were a few rentals around. But now we've got some nice homes. People are fixing them up pretty well...
Helen: Most of them aren't rentals now, are they?...
Bill: No, most of them are homeowners. Who's that gal down the street we ran into? Sarah...? 
Helen: Dusenberry.
Bill: Dusenberry. Remember the Dusenberrys?
John: Absolutely. Tony and uh... Kelly...
Helen: Kelly. I thought they had moved years ago, 'cause I hadn't seen her in twenty years.
Bill: Yeah, at least.
Helen: And Bill was in the garage one day, and she came up...
Bill: Came by walking a tiny little dog, about cat size, and she says, "Hi Bill, how you doin'?" And oh my, I had no idea who she was. And then (Helen) came out the door, and then she said "I'm Sarah Dusenberry," and I just couldn't believe it. She'd been here this whole time.
John: She's still there?
Bill: She's still there.
Helen: She's still there, all by herself.
John: She was always a rather... unusual lady.
Bill: Oh, she was quite strange. Still is, I think.
Helen: Well she said she'd been teaching, I can't remember where, one of the schools here in town. She's divorced. Let's see, what did she say. Kelly is in California someplace. Tony, I don't remember what she said about him. But what a shock. There's a little bit of gossip, John.
John: Yep, that's a good one.
Helen: I'd forgotten all about that.
John: Her name is Sarah? I would have never remembered that in a million years.
Bill: What was his name?
Helen: Ray.
Bill: Ray. He was doing like janitorial work, or something like that.
Helen: She has her degree, though.
Bill: She has her degree.
John: Is there anything else you folks would like our readers to know?
Bill and Helen: (Laughs)
Helen: Well... It doesn't seem like we've been here 41 years.
John: 41 years in July, right?
Bill: Yes, in July.
John: Time flies when you're having fun, eh?
Bill: Yep.
John: Well thank you, Mr. and Mrs. M. It's been a true pleasure.
Helen: Well, it's good to see you. God, we never see you. We haven't seen you since... No, I take that back, since your grandfather died.
John: Well, we should do this more often.
Bill: Yes. By all means.
