Up until May 27th, 2010, you had no complaints or problems with Mrs. Deen, did you?
No.
She had never indicated any discriminatory bias or prejudice, did she?
Yes. One remark she made at Bubba’s wedding planning.
Were you there –
Yes.
– at the planning? Now, you tell me, when did that occur and where?
On her back porch.
Which house, Dogwood?
Dogwood. We were sitting on the back porch and we asked about the uniforms. And she made a remark about how she wanted them dressed.
Who was there?
It was Bubba, and me, and Paula.
Bubba, you, and who?
Paula.
Okay. What did she say about how she wanted them dressed?
Like they used to dress in the Shirley Temple days with the long white shirts and the shorts. And I remember thinking when she said it that I thought about Dora. And I thought, I know she loves – I know you love Dora, and it was like how could – you know, how could she say something like that. Then a fan rode by on a boat, and she said, well, we know we can’t do that because the media would be on us.
And I just – at that moment thought – it was disappointing, but I still had respect for the position she had offered me and that I was doing there.
And, but was her comment was that she wanted a wedding back in the Shirley Temple days with blacks wearing what?
White shirts.
White shirts?
And black pants or black shorts.
And that’s the sum total of the conversation about that; is that correct?
Uh-huh, correct.
