So by high school, I had this kind of work ethic.

And I started working in the family business around that time.

And so I was working – we had a business –

that it was primarily a pilot car company.

And pilot cars are the ones that go in front of and behind of great big loads on a truck, whether it's logging equipment or a giant boat or whatever.

The truck needs help getting through traffic because it's too big.

So you drive a car and help them through traffic.

And we'd also do the lollipop girl thing, directing traffic on the road for road construction or a wreck scene.

If there was a truck that had an accident, you'd be out there directing traffic.

So my high school experience was doing school, but then also working in the family business.

So I felt pretty lucky.

And it was also a transition point because I went to school with the same kids from kindergarten through ninth grade.

But then going into high school in 10th grade, everything was new because the school I went to didn't have 10, 11, 12 grades.

So I was making new friends and all that as well.

Yeah.

Yes.

Well, it was a funny thing because my parents had a couple of rules.

OK, so when when it was like depression era, that was about all your entertainment.

People would have like a square dance in the barn or everyone would get together and dancing was free.

So when everyone would get together and dance, if someone was dancing with someone else and there was a little bit of conflict, oh my gosh, Henry was dancing with Lola and Lola's married to Bert.
