Tom, your thoughts.

So I don't need to say more about Bill Gates.

There used to be publications in Silicon Valley, Valley Wagon, others.

And you'd be able to go to like Buck's Diner and places that were in Silicon Valley.

And let me explain why that's relevant.

There was always these rumors that Gates had this other side of him.

And the phrase people used to use, you know, there's another side to Bill Gates.

You know that, right?

um there's this guy who appears on the big screen and and actually helped apple at steve jobs request with some financing um did that and that was good and then there was the other the other side the other the other bill and so i don't want to say more about that other than to say there's where there's smoke there's fire and a lot of people talking about this and rumors and now we have the guy confessing with the the russian girls and other things it's just gooey

But I'll tell you who I want to praise.

I want to praise the poise of Melinda French Gates.

Melinda French Gates, as you know, Pat and I lived in Dallas for about eight years before moving to Florida.

And she graduated from Ursuline Academy, which is a wonderful school, private school that is in Dallas.

She gave money to the school to create a science center.

And interestingly enough, you'll find this interesting, Adam, it was named the French Family Science Center.

at Ursuline.

And she also gave them the largest grant they ever had in history, like in 2005, 2006.

There have been supplemental grants, also a center for professional career development.

And so she's been pouring into these girls there.

So when we're sitting in Dallas, we could read news stories and talk to people.
