Transcription Notes:
---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-26 08:41:16 to change name to NANCY (see next film where it's written more clearly). Also, put an apostrophe in "col'd"... so that researchers can find it as (abbreviation for colored) instead of the word "cold" (not hot). We've run that past SI in the past and it's been approved.
