WEBVTT

00:00:00.230 --> 00:00:04.407
 testing levels, are we OK now? Um, so can I ask you how old you were when

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:06.936
you got married?

00:00:06.969 --> 00:00:14.236
18. 18. Mhm. And that was in 47.

00:00:14.269 --> 00:00:22.269
And um And I was married 5 years
before we had any. Children And um.

00:00:24.629 --> 00:00:31.326
It seems like I, I'll swear I carried
my son 10 months because I kept

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:39.256
going back to the doctor and saying,
why, why? Well, that, uh, October day

00:00:39.289 --> 00:00:44.936
we walked, everybody walked, nobody
had a car, you know, and uh I was

00:00:44.969 --> 00:00:50.656
downtown to the doctor and he told me
to go buy a 2 ounce bottle of castor

00:00:50.689 --> 00:00:58.689
oil. And gobble it down. And it
worked. It worked to induce labor. And uh

00:01:02.189 --> 00:01:10.189
I didn't have any problems with my.
Um, So Um But 2 years later, my

00:01:12.448 --> 00:01:18.846
daughter, I had more problems with
her. It seemed like my. Belly didn't go

00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:23.406
back, you know, it was drooping over
and it was so forth, and my back was

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:30.936
killing me. And I have some Polish
ants and they gave me this corset.

00:01:30.969 --> 00:01:36.486
It was a big, you know, about this big
strings like the, like you see in

00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.525
the movies, you know, string you pull
the strings and, and you tighten the

00:01:40.558 --> 00:01:46.897
belt and so forth and it was a uh a
blessing to wear this corset during

00:01:46.930 --> 00:01:53.016
pregnancy. And if, if it, if you got
too much here, you know, you could

00:01:53.049 --> 00:02:00.906
loosen it there and just by adjusting
the strings or the straps. And um

00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:07.697
Then the night that um the day that uh
he, she, he was born, she was born

00:02:07.730 --> 00:02:15.730
, my second child was a girl. Um my uh
husband got a call from uh Oklahoma

00:02:17.270 --> 00:02:23.255
that his father had just passed away.
And uh I, he didn't want to go

00:02:23.288 --> 00:02:29.517
because I was late already for
delivery, but I said no go because of the

00:02:29.550 --> 00:02:34.536
fact that You will see your child. We,
we didn't know if it was a boy or

00:02:34.569 --> 00:02:41.166
girl. Nobody knew nothing about that.
Uh. But you won't see your father

00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:46.495
again. So he went there and sure
enough that night. My mother came. We

00:02:46.528 --> 00:02:52.896
lived away from town. My mother came
and my two cousins, which were twins.

00:02:52.929 --> 00:02:57.177
And one of them happened to have a
car. Cause we're miles from the

00:02:57.210 --> 00:03:05.210
hospital. One hospital in this town.
And um 11 could stay with my boy. And

00:03:07.588 --> 00:03:12.196
one could drive my mother and I to the
hospital and and my cousins, that's

00:03:12.229 --> 00:03:18.805
what happened to it because my husband
was already out of town. So, but I

00:03:18.838 --> 00:03:25.047
had known. I didn't realize it at the
time until later. I told my mother I

00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:32.457
said something wrong with my corset.
Um, I could, the drop, the child had

00:03:32.490 --> 00:03:39.217
dropped. And it was loose. Where,
wherever it was, I don't know. It was

00:03:39.250 --> 00:03:44.666
loose and I said tighten these straps
up, you know, and then I realized,

00:03:44.699 --> 00:03:52.699
oh, it's because of the droppage of
the child. But um He um She was a she

00:03:55.139 --> 00:04:00.936
the second time. Uh, I don't remember
much about because I told you that

00:04:00.969 --> 00:04:05.255
they knock us out, you know, at those
days they knock you out. Remember

00:04:05.288 --> 00:04:13.288
being in the bed and hurting like
heck. But uh I don't remember.

00:04:13.528 --> 00:04:21.086
I don't remember any shots or
anything, but I. Had um Let's see, the first

00:04:21.119 --> 00:04:27.007
time after I came out of labor from
the child number one. I had Charlie

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.325
horses you wouldn't believe. I had all
the nurses and the doctors rubbing

00:04:31.358 --> 00:04:36.596
every, everywhere. I assumed it was
because of the syrups. You know, I

00:04:36.629 --> 00:04:42.166
don't know how long I've been up there
on Sturs when the child was born.

00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:49.346
The second time I had been fighting a
uh beer specialist for Cankeraurus.

00:04:49.379 --> 00:04:55.426
They ran me through all these tests,
uh, of being allergic to this or

00:04:55.459 --> 00:05:02.226
that, you know, and I'd take uh they
do the tests and I did notice when I

00:05:02.259 --> 00:05:09.336
was pregnant. I did not have any
canker sores. But the minute that she was

00:05:09.369 --> 00:05:15.286
born and I was put back in the room. I
was peppered with canker sores. I

00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:20.205
don't know, you guys know what canker
sores are in your mouth. Peppered,

00:05:20.238 --> 00:05:25.265
just peppered and after that I had
them. And I swear it has something to

00:05:25.298 --> 00:05:31.236
do with the periods, you know. And I
haven't had them since uh. I no

00:05:31.269 --> 00:05:36.096
longer have periods. I no longer have
the canker so, so I don't know if it

00:05:36.129 --> 00:05:42.075
has anything to do with it or not, you
know. But uh that was our deal on

00:05:42.108 --> 00:05:48.705
that. Um, so do you remember, um, to
the drive to the hospital, was it

00:05:48.738 --> 00:05:55.067
long? Uh, yeah, it was, it was long,
uh, we were maybe 15 miles or

00:05:55.100 --> 00:06:01.926
something like that to the hospital.
And of course, uh, the labor was not

00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:08.356
too pleasant, you know, but. Um, it
just seemed like a long ways. Mhm. Can

00:06:08.389 --> 00:06:12.476
you describe the hospital at all or
how the, the intake situation or what

00:06:12.509 --> 00:06:20.257
? Well, it was a like I said, this
town only had one hospital. And I don't

00:06:20.290 --> 00:06:26.736
remember going in or anything, but I
do know that it's. Uh, maybe 4 or 5

00:06:26.769 --> 00:06:34.769
stories. Um, but, um. And that you
were put in with other women, not, not

00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:41.075
by yourself. Um, and laying in bed and
the nurses come in, of course

00:06:41.108 --> 00:06:46.866
they'd shave you first. Um, and um.

00:06:46.899 --> 00:06:52.986
But uh and check your vitals, but I
don't remember. Anything else and then

00:06:53.019 --> 00:06:56.627
they shave you with like a straight
rate like cuz the shaving implements

00:06:56.660 --> 00:07:02.495
are different back then. It had to be
a straight one. It had to be a

00:07:02.528 --> 00:07:09.205
straight one, yeah, mhm. And uh But it
seemed like one of them. I did,

00:07:09.238 --> 00:07:14.245
they didn't have time to save me, but
I don't, I don't know if that's my

00:07:14.278 --> 00:07:20.137
my mind telling me. That's true or not
true. I don't, I don't know which,

00:07:20.170 --> 00:07:26.197
but it seemed like one of them. They
didn't shave me cause came too soon.

00:07:26.230 --> 00:07:31.426
So I don't know if it was the 1st 1 or
the 2nd 1. But you were um given

00:07:31.459 --> 00:07:37.455
the um ether or scope and being both
times?

00:07:37.488 --> 00:07:43.406
That's how they did it. It's, I mean.
I don't remember if I can't remember

00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:49.546
if it's a shot or it's or it's a a
couple of your. No, I don't remember

00:07:49.579 --> 00:07:55.575
that. So that's all blank and, and you
really didn't come out of it until

00:07:55.608 --> 00:08:03.137
you were in your own bed at the
hospital. And uh the baby was somewhere

00:08:03.170 --> 00:08:07.296
else. You didn't see the baby right
away, you know, I don't know how long

00:08:07.329 --> 00:08:12.305
it was, but. Uh in the movies, they
put it on your chest right away, you

00:08:12.338 --> 00:08:20.338
know, none of that, so it, uh. But I,
I really am thankful for the corset

00:08:22.088 --> 00:08:29.736
and I don't remember exactly how I got
the corset. Um, I did have some

00:08:29.769 --> 00:08:33.895
strong Polish aunts and one of them
more of cars at all the time, so

00:08:33.928 --> 00:08:39.226
whether it was from her or what. But
it was a blessing because it kills

00:08:39.259 --> 00:08:45.866
your back. And especially if you are,
are weak in your back anyways, you

00:08:45.899 --> 00:08:51.316
know, and, and your muscles are weak
from childbirth.

00:08:51.349 --> 00:08:57.596
And uh So did the corset, this part
that cinchches go above the belly or

00:08:57.629 --> 00:09:03.996
below the belly? No, it went under
your boobs and below. Below your crotch

00:09:04.029 --> 00:09:07.037
you hung out, you know, more or less
so you, you didn't have to take it

00:09:07.070 --> 00:09:11.076
off to go to the bathroom. You could
just, it was open there. So it just

00:09:11.109 --> 00:09:14.826
compressed everything inward.

00:09:14.859 --> 00:09:20.145
Put the looseness where that needed to
be or the tightness where. The

00:09:20.178 --> 00:09:27.145
other need to be. And um my, my
daughter was born in July, so it was hot.

00:09:27.178 --> 00:09:32.765
And I do remember many days putting a
tub of water on the floor and

00:09:32.798 --> 00:09:36.927
putting your feet in the water because
of the fact that you swell, your

00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:43.686
feet swelled, so mhm and we didn't
those days nobody had air conditioning

00:09:43.719 --> 00:09:48.326
in your houses, you know, so you tried
to get cool by putting your feet in

00:09:48.359 --> 00:09:55.885
the in the tub. And this was in
Indiana. It's humid there too, yeah, at

00:09:55.918 --> 00:09:59.287
times, yeah. Well, it would happen
here too, because a lot of people

00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:03.515
didn't have air conditioning here
either, you know. And then then the

00:10:03.548 --> 00:10:08.395
first thing we had was evaporative
coolers. And then the air conditioning

00:10:08.428 --> 00:10:14.797
got so we could afford the the air
conditioning, so. So were you working

00:10:14.830 --> 00:10:20.407
during the time that you were
pregnant? Yes, I was working at a factory.

00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:28.440
Um, uh, I started working there maybe
when I was about 19. And uh

00:10:29.769 --> 00:10:37.486
And we had to take off. I think it
was, we had 3 months late uh uh uh for

00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:44.375
delivery, I think it was and it was
forced taken off work, you know. And

00:10:44.408 --> 00:10:49.446
then I think you could be off 3 months
after something like that. So I

00:10:49.479 --> 00:10:53.515
went back after 2 and there's no air
conditioning in the factory. No way,

00:10:53.548 --> 00:10:57.446
uh uh. No way.

00:10:57.479 --> 00:11:02.407
So, so you were, um, several months
pregnant and working in a factory and

00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:10.217
working and if you work with a lot of
women. It's you know, she's bigger,

00:11:10.250 --> 00:11:14.496
she's far longer than what she says
she is, you know, oh my, she's bigger

00:11:14.529 --> 00:11:19.417
, she's gonna have a boy, she's gonna
have a girl, you know, it was those

00:11:19.450 --> 00:11:24.706
kind, you know, gay women. Cause it
was all women, most all women that I

00:11:24.739 --> 00:11:32.167
worked with, so. And uh running
machines, running machines, uh, not

00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:38.515
dangerous machines. The only one that
could have been dangerous was you

00:11:38.548 --> 00:11:43.726
kicked your feet forward to make it
go, the machine come down, and the

00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:49.726
rest of them were you used a pedal or
something on the pedal on your foot

00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:57.557
to make the thing, this little machine
come down. So it uh. Can you think

00:11:57.590 --> 00:12:02.265
back to when you were in the hospital
after you woke up and you were in a

00:12:02.298 --> 00:12:06.417
room? How many women are in a room
with you?

00:12:06.450 --> 00:12:13.816
I would say 4. I, I, I don't.
Truthfully remember, but I would say 4. And

00:12:13.849 --> 00:12:18.096
but maybe they weren't all there. I
don't know. You know, the beds, the

00:12:18.129 --> 00:12:26.129
beds were there. So And we lived in,
which would be rural, um. And we had

00:12:28.239 --> 00:12:31.005
um electricity.

00:12:31.038 --> 00:12:39.038
Um, and I could not nurse my children.
I didn't have any milk. Uh, nearly

00:12:39.048 --> 00:12:42.537
starved my boy before the doctor said,
Well, you haven't got any milk.

00:12:42.570 --> 00:12:49.186
That's why kids starving to death. Um
So beings living in the country, we

00:12:49.219 --> 00:12:56.037
had electric stove. And when the power
went out in the summer or winter.

00:12:56.070 --> 00:13:03.667
And no way of eating this baby's milk.
So we go across the, across the

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:08.525
next door and they had a gas stove and
heat the baby's milk over there and

00:13:08.558 --> 00:13:15.775
come home and feed the baby. Mhm.
Until the power came back on again. So

00:13:15.808 --> 00:13:21.515
what was the milk? Uh, I had an awful
time with my son. He couldn't keep

00:13:21.548 --> 00:13:29.135
anything down. It, it wasn't a
formula, but I think it was uh. Um We

00:13:29.168 --> 00:13:33.936
finally settled on, I don't know how
many different milks we tried, but we

00:13:33.969 --> 00:13:41.969
finally set it, set it on um like um
cream of wheat. And I boiled it. And

00:13:42.158 --> 00:13:48.946
it had enlarged the um straw. So he
could not, it wasn't a straw, it was a

00:13:48.979 --> 00:13:56.116
nipple, uh, so he could suck the cream
of wheat in the milk in his system.

00:13:56.149 --> 00:13:59.956
But that was a struggle right there to
try to find something that he

00:13:59.989 --> 00:14:07.989
could keep down and upchuck a lot.
Yeah, so. So was he, so was he, he was

00:14:09.428 --> 00:14:13.566
healthy young man. Yeah, he grew out
of it. It just was the idea that he

00:14:13.599 --> 00:14:20.125
just couldn't drink. Um, Milk

00:14:20.158 --> 00:14:25.895
And I, and I don't, after that, I, we
must have weaned him on regular

00:14:25.928 --> 00:14:29.976
cow's milk or something because we
didn't have, I don't remember formula.

00:14:30.009 --> 00:14:36.275
I remember canned milk, you know, uh,
pet milk, uh, carnation or whatever.

00:14:36.308 --> 00:14:39.596
 But I don't remember any.

00:14:39.629 --> 00:14:43.797
I don't remember anybody using formula
maybe they could have, I don't know.

00:14:43.830 --> 00:14:49.677
You don't realize how what an impact
formula has, you know, on, on women

00:14:49.710 --> 00:14:55.775
and, and I'm sure they have to try
different kinds because. People's

00:14:55.808 --> 00:15:01.177
stomachs aren't all alike. I heard
goat's milk was a good milk. Yeah,

00:15:01.210 --> 00:15:07.895
that's, yeah, mhm. So What about your
daughter? Uh, didn't have any

00:15:07.928 --> 00:15:15.186
problem with her with milk. No, just
the first one is to. But um So she,

00:15:15.219 --> 00:15:18.096
she didn't breastfeed though, but she
had cow's milk and she was could not

00:15:18.129 --> 00:15:24.826
breastfeed. The the doctor's words
were a big old cow like you haven't got

00:15:24.859 --> 00:15:30.145
any milk. That's exactly what he said
because my son keeps bringing that

00:15:30.178 --> 00:15:36.586
up all the time. And so that's true,
no milk.

00:15:36.619 --> 00:15:40.866
How did you experience pregnancy? Did
you gain a lot of weight or? Yeah, I

00:15:40.899 --> 00:15:47.186
think so. Yeah, you know, you're just
way out here, uh, and, uh. I never

00:15:47.219 --> 00:15:54.826
got rid of the stretch marks, never.
No, and in fact, today, I'm sure I, I

00:15:54.859 --> 00:16:01.566
would have them there, but I'm
fighting this hernia. Yes, yes. I won't

00:16:01.599 --> 00:16:07.005
embarrass you too much. Look at that
hernia, and it's harder, harder rocks

00:16:07.038 --> 00:16:14.297
right there. It's only on that one
side and. It's um Feels like I'm

00:16:14.330 --> 00:16:21.167
pregnant on half side. You know, it
uh. It's had 4 operations already on

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:28.625
it. Um, so it's intestine pushing
forward, yeah, and then I had, I took,

00:16:28.658 --> 00:16:35.145
uh, Pradaxa. Have you heard of
Pradaxa? Did they're advertising it on TV.

00:16:35.178 --> 00:16:43.086
Pradaxa is a blood thinner. And bled
internally. And

00:16:43.119 --> 00:16:49.807
the first time they operated on my.
Uh, hernia. Uh, they left a sponge in

00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:56.976
me for 3 months. 3 I kept going back
to the emergency. Something's wrong,

00:16:57.009 --> 00:17:02.015
something's wrong, you know, up
chucking and sicker and a dog and. And

00:17:02.048 --> 00:17:08.226
finally somebody decided to take an
X-ray. You could see the sponge.

00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:15.746
And then that that was operation #2,
and then when I bled internally, they

00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:23.779
had to. Um, operate again. I've had 4
operations on this side, 9 pints of

00:17:23.890 --> 00:17:31.736
blood because, yeah, put a lawsuit
against Pradaxa. And got some money.

00:17:31.769 --> 00:17:37.107
Good for you. Like, did you put a
lawsuit against the sponge person? No,

00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:42.627
no, but the hospital asked me. Um

00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:48.075
Saint Luke's, it was, asked me to put
a claim against them. They didn't

00:17:48.108 --> 00:17:51.516
want a lawsuit and I didn't want to, I
didn't want to mess with that

00:17:51.549 --> 00:17:57.097
either. So they kept calling the
lawyers kept calling and well, you want

00:17:57.130 --> 00:18:03.857
to put this lawsuit, you know, against
them. Name your price. So I didn't

00:18:03.890 --> 00:18:11.890
know. Nothing. And so um that was in,
I think in 12, uh. 2012, I believe,

00:18:14.588 --> 00:18:21.016
and so, um. The senior center provides
did provide a lawyer that

00:18:21.049 --> 00:18:26.426
volunteered to come and talk to you.
So I made an appointment with him and

00:18:26.459 --> 00:18:31.627
I asked him what I should tell him I
would, would take. Well, he gave me

00:18:31.660 --> 00:18:37.446
this ridiculous little price. And so I
thought now, and so when they

00:18:37.479 --> 00:18:43.617
called, I upped the price. No problem,
no problem. So the price he gave

00:18:43.650 --> 00:18:48.867
you was too low. Oh yeah, really.

00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:52.347
As if he was working for them,

00:18:52.380 --> 00:18:57.006
so, and I thought, no, no, no, no,
that don't sound right.

00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:03.656
So here I go again from. Getting all
the information on the Pradaxa the

00:19:03.689 --> 00:19:06.055
being internally

00:19:06.088 --> 00:19:11.867
so. And it uh That was no fun.

00:19:11.900 --> 00:19:18.075
Did you have any residual um health
stuff from having the babies?

00:19:18.108 --> 00:19:22.887
You kept soda crackers at your
bedside. I don't know if you guys had soda

00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:28.156
crackers to try to keep your up chuck
down. And before you put your feet

00:19:28.189 --> 00:19:33.236
on the floor, you would eat the soda
cracker. Well, it didn't always work.

00:19:33.269 --> 00:19:41.269
And uh Because um I Didn't accept it
too good and I I chucked a lot. So.

00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:47.420
How, how was it when you had um your baby home? How was home life with the

00:19:49.890 --> 00:19:53.467
baby? Uh

00:19:53.500 --> 00:19:57.575
It's all right, you know, it's, uh,
did you go back to work? Yeah, I did

00:19:57.608 --> 00:20:02.426
after I think. I don't know if it's 3
months, 6 months, whatever. I don't

00:20:02.459 --> 00:20:09.597
, I don't remember. Yeah, I did go
back to work. And uh so. Just like

00:20:09.630 --> 00:20:16.776
mothers today, times are tough.
Babysitters were a little cheaper than.

00:20:16.809 --> 00:20:23.107
And today, my god, what these people
have to pay. So, did, was there any

00:20:23.140 --> 00:20:29.107
state funded help? No. No, because my
husband and I both worked, you know

00:20:29.140 --> 00:20:33.967
, and it put you over a limit of some
sort, but I, no, I don't remember

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:41.916
any, uh. Now I understand Wick or
somebody can provide help for you here,

00:20:41.949 --> 00:20:47.236
but no, there was nothing like that
there. Were your pregnancies planned?

00:20:47.269 --> 00:20:52.467
Did you try to get pregnant? Yeah, you
know, yeah, we were married 5 years

00:20:52.500 --> 00:21:00.196
and tried to, yeah. And the second one
I suppose was a surprise. But uh I

00:21:00.229 --> 00:21:03.996
could never get pregnant after that.
So when you were trying all that time

00:21:04.029 --> 00:21:07.887
for those 5 years, you must have
thought um that you couldn't get pregnant.

00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.377
Yeah, right. Yeah, all your cousins
and aunts and uncles say, well, when

00:21:12.410 --> 00:21:16.486
you gonna have a baby? When are you
gonna have a baby? Well.

00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:24.519
You know, It's one of those things,
so. And um I ended up with 2, my

00:21:24.618 --> 00:21:32.618
sister ended up with 3, so. Didn't run
much in our family. My mother had

00:21:32.818 --> 00:21:36.107
me and then didn't think she could
have any more children. So for 7 years

00:21:36.140 --> 00:21:42.226
, she didn't have any children, and
then she had 3 kids. Oh wow. It's

00:21:42.259 --> 00:21:48.045
funny how the body works. Yeah, right,
mhm, true. My my husband was an

00:21:48.078 --> 00:21:55.637
only child and definitely did not want
to. Raise an only child, so we were

00:21:55.670 --> 00:22:02.555
very fortunate that we got the second
one, so. And we were married 31

00:22:02.588 --> 00:22:10.588
years before I lost him. So The kids
were Uh, more or less adults by then.

00:22:14.989 --> 00:22:16.989
So that's my story. I don't remember much of anything else. I think you

00:22:21.588 --> 00:22:26.035
did great. It was wonderful. I'm
gonna. Oh yeah, yeah. Do you, do you

00:22:26.068 --> 00:22:29.276
remember, um, because you're saying
there's a lot of time after the baby

00:22:29.309 --> 00:22:31.946
was born that you didn't get to see
the baby. Do you remember the first

00:22:31.979 --> 00:22:37.647
time you actually got to see? No, I
don't, I don't really uh uh it's out,

00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:42.766
it's out of my mind, you know. No, can
you describe the babies? Did they

00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:45.847
have hair or

00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:51.815
I don't think so. No, I don't think
so. And uh one was, I know one was 713

00:22:51.848 --> 00:22:59.848
, 7 pounds and 13 ounces, and the
other was 8 something. Uh, but, uh, So I

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:08.746
mean those are were normal size then.
I don't know what they are now. Uh,

00:23:08.779 --> 00:23:16.779
small now, I think. No, I think that's
normal. So But um No. Did you have

00:23:18.189 --> 00:23:21.436
, um, was it just you and your husband
at home or did you have family

00:23:21.469 --> 00:23:27.736
living with you? No, just me and my
husband. How was he with the babies?

00:23:27.769 --> 00:23:32.746
Oh, he was thrilled, thrilled because
being an only child, you know, uh,

00:23:32.779 --> 00:23:37.956
he was thrilled and, and took
responsibility, you know, and changed

00:23:37.989 --> 00:23:45.989
diapers and Fed him and So forth, so
Yeah, um, No problem there at all.

00:23:49.239 --> 00:23:53.526
And he lived in this home with you
too. We can't, we moved back here in

00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.026
'57.

00:23:56.059 --> 00:24:01.467
So, and this is the only house that
we've lived in since. Mhm. Yeah,

00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:07.446
that's great. Mhm. Well, I think we're
good. So at the beginning, I was

00:24:07.479 --> 00:24:11.206
supposed to introduce myself and you,
and so I'm going to do it now, so it

00:24:11.239 --> 00:24:13.686
might seem a little funny, but I'm
going to go ahead. Did I do it in the

00:24:13.719 --> 00:24:19.166
beginning or did I forget? Yeah. So um
