"On one hand - there were five sons and one daughter that was the only [mistake in your very] excellent and accurate listing of my background." Here I'm blowing the kiss - a metaphor - probably giving his approval

"The wonderful thing is that, mother who [met my father] when he was at Brown where he went to college and they became devoted and were as you mentioned happily married for 56 years." Love found them - a congruent reversal

"I felt that, and so did Henry Kissinger and [knowing the work] with me on this, we worked together, we felt that at the very least he should be invited to find refuge in the United States." Grow marijuana - this reversal on first glance appears to have no relationship to the forward dialogue - maybe an isolated reversal hinting at involvement in the drug trade.

"Of course nearly 50 years and I think had almost no return on the [setting]. That's the other side of the story but of course then we sold it to the Japanese." Hear lesson - incomprehensible forwards with a clear reversal - maybe lessons he learned from this deal.

"And Horace [Albright who later became] the head of the National Parks System, he was then the superintendent of Yellowstone." Make the deal with your wars - another reversal that appears to have no context with the forward dialogue - is this another way he is making money? - from warfare?

"And now it belongs to another company but the history of the [center was a fascinating] one." Men suffer for souls are with us - yet another reversal with no seeming connection to the forward dialogue.

"..the land, buying it in small bits. And then gave it to the government but I don't think he's ever given [anything for which] during the process of putting it together he was more criticized for." Shewolf, you feel it - a significant and very powerful metaphor - Shewolf is one of the most powerful metaphors of all and is usually found on confident, successful people. It is also the metaphor of manifestation - to attract to us that which we want.

"This is another aspect of the story. I felt that it was very [foolish for them to sell it]." The lessons of Shewolf - here Shewolf is referenced again. This may be one of David Rockefeller's structural metaphors.

"This was the appraised [value of the center] at that time ex the debt because there was a very heavy debt on it also." This is what we have - a congruent reversal
