And Doug...
Not only did I meet him in high school and have the luck of having him as a teammate and a mentor, for me, he is what Wright looked like.

Yeah, she definitely just different, different driven, way smarter, way more, you know, it's obviously not one-to-one for men and women, but way more successful by gradient standards.
She's in the Navy Hall of Fame.
She was Patriot League swimming champ.
She was on junior national triathlon team when she was 20, I think.

Really talented in every regard.
Ninth in our class, I think.
First female graduate, number one female graduate, our class.
I don't even know exactly how the grading.
First of all, her grades, her academic success is just remarkable.
And then you get a military grade and you get a physical grade, not for your athletics, I don't think, but it's like your PRT scores, which is your physical readiness test, all this military stuff you do.
You get this other cluster of a grade that goes along with your academic grades.
And she was number nine in the class and the first female graduate based on that cluster of grading.
