- 1 940.
- Very young looking for twenty-four.

:32:04
France had just fallen...
to Hitler.

:32:07
- But you never fell for a man.
- Paris; Paris; excuse me.

:32:10
France fell;
but Edie didn't fall.

:32:16
That was the thing.
See; I--

:32:19
They didn't tell us that
when we studied World War I,

:32:21
that everything was so awful
with the Versailles Treaty,

:32:25
that we were soon going to get into
something four years after I got out.

:32:29
If I'd only known it,
I would have just--

:32:32
just enjoyed every single minute,
just done everything.

:32:36
[ David ] It must've been tough
on people. I remember as a kid...

:32:39
so many loved ones being killed.
:32:41
But you were the dating age.
:32:44
A lot of my friends went
overseas and got married.

:32:46
They went in the Red Cross.
They went to India, Australia.

:32:49
They all got married.
:32:52
One of my best friends
went to Australia.

:32:55
If I'd have been able to go; she
might have persuaded me to go with her.

:33:00
And she met somebody
in the hospital.

:33:03
She was working for the Red Cross,
and she never came back to New York.

:33:08
But I never had a chance
to do anything like that...

:33:11
'cause Mother wasn't well
during the war.

:33:14
She had her eye operation.
:33:17
I missed out on everything.
:33:20
I missed out on the reunion
of my graduating class in Farmington...

:33:24
because that was the fall that
Jack Kennedy campaigned to get in...

:33:29
and I was stuck here with Mother,
the cats, the house and T. Logan...

:33:33
and I couldn't go.
:33:35
- No, you said you didn't want them
to know how old you were.
- The 25th reunion of my class.

:33:40
- No; I think--
- ''Well, I didn't want them
to know my age,'' says Edie.

:33:43
No; I would have enjoyed that; Mother;
becauseJack Kennedy campaigned
to get in and won.

:33:48
Get in the Farmington School ?
That'd be a good place for him.

:33:52
I don't know. I think
it would have been a lot of fun.

:33:55
Yeah, everything's good
that you didn't do.

:33:58
At the time,
you didn't want it.
