0:07.0 | The Welcome to Buddha at the gas pump. My name is Rick Archer and my guest today is Connie Hübner. Welcome to Connie. |
0:32.6 | Thank you. It's nice to be here. Yeah. Connie is one of these people who makes Fairfield, Iowa, an interesting place to live. |
0:40.5 | She and I have both lived here for decades. She's originally from Grand Rapids, is it? |
0:45.4 | Yes. Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. And has a very interesting story to tell. |
