Her fire station was our fire station.

Her public library was our public library.

I mean, I've ridden my bike past there all, you know, many, many, many, many years ago.

It was, you know, and also, you know, that part of Montgomery County, you know, it hasn't changed that much.

It was just me and my parents back then.

My brother hadn't been born yet.

I mean, or as my dad referred to it, the good old days, but it was an interesting place to live.

And then later, later, now that we're talking about that, I became a reporter at the local ABC station, WGLA Channel 7.

And so then I also covered Montgomery County, which is where I met the guy who's now the state's attorney, but at the time was a line prosecutor, John McCarthy.

And it was great to be a reporter in the same area that I'd grown up in because I knew my way around.

Sure.

Right.

And then what happens?

Yeah, but then he gets together with the girl he left behind.

Doesn't that happen?

Because that didn't happen on this one.

We did.

We read it.

Really?

Very purple prosy, let me just say.
