00:00It was interesting when he was in, I think, first grade.

00:04One of the neighborhood ladies across the street said to him,

00:07you will be the first American pope.

00:09She knew that, she sensed that at six years old.

00:12How she did that, who knows.

00:16I got the phone call that there was white smoke coming out of the chimney in Rome,

00:20so I went downstairs, turned on the television,

00:23and watched the proceedings going on.

00:27I called my niece to let her know there was white smoke coming out,

00:31and we watched together, and then we saw the curtains move,

00:34and then we saw the cardinal come out and announce who the pope was.

00:38She started screaming because it was her uncle,

00:42and I was in the moment of disbelief that this cannot be possible

00:57And I guess a sense of tremendous pride came over me,
