You could tell me a lot of things right now and I'd say, oh, yeah, I guess assumed all that stuff was kind of happening.

But I didn't know it at the time in the early 70s or late 60s when we got into this thing.

It was actually 70s.

No, I didn't know that part.

The funny thing is I had decided to get out of that plan, right?

And I'd gone down to see my own people, my accountant, my attorney in Oakland and told them I just want out of this thing.

I don't like the idea that

Whenever I want some money, like an allowance, you got to call up some bank account somewhere over there.

And it takes some time, some few days before I actually receive my money.

And it was starting to smell.

It was starting to smell.

Now, we're talking 1975, 76.

Yeah.

And so I actually had the meeting and I said, I want to be out of this plan.

I don't want, oh, I said, one of the things I said to the meeting of professionals, look, take a shoebox.

put all the money I've ever earned into the shoebox, and now hand me the shoebox so I can see how much money have I earned.

Because I didn't know.

It was just going straight into this fund, right, into this Castle Bank.

But they couldn't tell me.

So I leave.
