What is up everybody? We have 10 minutes to talk to our good friend Sam Solholt, who's a big bus driver guy, he's a big van guy, and he's also a big conservation guy.

0:09.7

And we're going to talk to him a little bit about his Stamp it Forward program that has to do with the migratory bird and conservation stamp, otherwise known as the Duck Stamp Act commonly referred to. Sam, you've kind of, I guess, gotten into,
