to why this fitting tribute, a tribute fit for a queen, would be that, that is taking place today for aretha franklin. fred, who put together the program for today, the celebration of life for this truly amazing american woman? it was a collaborative effort, but her niece apparently has been instrumental in hand picking and designing the program for today. wolf, we got a copy of the program here. it s a beautiful piece of memorabilia here. beautiful photographs of her spanning so many different portions of her life. then this two-page biography of her life, spanning the beginning, then you move on to her musical career. fred, hold on for one moment. members of aretha franklin s family have now walked up to the stage. we re going to hear from them. this could be an emotional moment. i want to listen. hello, how are you?
