And there was a very big moment, actually.

My grandmother, who was an extraordinarily tough and resilient woman, she had widowed with seven children at the age of 29.

Wow.

And she was a tough lady in that part of the world for her to run a farm, a ranch.

As a woman with seven children, you had to be extremely tough.

And she was.

She was very well known as a resilient and tough lady who happened.

My grandmother happened to be friends with a union leader in our town.

And the developer that was building a facility, a manufacturing plant, he needed permits, like job permits.

And you have to get those job permits from the union.

And so I asked my grandma, I said, Grandma, you're friends with this union leader, right?

And she said, oh, yeah, that man has been in love with me since I was 15 years old.

And and so I said, well, can you set up an appointment for me?

So, of course, I showed up at this union leader's office and it was like out of a Godfather movie.

I mean, dark room.

He was fidgeting with a gun.

I mean, it was it was it was and I was 14 or 15 years old.

Pretty much.

We say it all the time.

Exactly.
