And, and again, trying to take the play to and kind of form what I wanted to be along the way.

And I think, you know, it was getting to the point in the American league where I, I felt I had something that was working and that, that I started to trust it and the people around me started to trust it.

And that's hoping what I can implement here.

Oh, geez.

I mean, for me to start listing individuals, I mean, we might be here all day, so I won't.

Well, if I do and my phone is going to start buzzing and I know I've pissed off somebody.

So I'll just say, I mean, you guys know the regimes and the people and

Like I said, you learn from people doing some things really well.

You learn from people that made a mistake, and you just bank it, and you learn.

And that's one thing.

It's a skill that I've really appreciated is listening to people that you think highly of, you care about, or you admire.

I just knew there was a real respect to how we felt people should be treated.

I think they really enjoyed the environment that was built there in Abbotsford.

I could see it in the smiles on their faces when they got out there and how we operated.

So did I ever think or did we ever sit and have a beer and go like, hey, one day, you know, you guys be... No, not even... But...

I think we want to do good work.

We have mutual, I think, values, and we really care about the organization.
