Hey, everybody. We got a great one today.

Finally, a guest who has something interesting to say, me.

I'm doing this one solo, and for a couple reasons.

First of all, for some reason, I could only get Normanstein this week.

And he's a great guest, but I want to talk a little bit.

Mainly because I've been in Portland, Maine, this week.

My wife, Frannie's family, all live up here.

She has one brother, three sisters.

And her mom is here.

Up here or down here, I I guess in Maine you're down

east because when they sailed from Boston to Maine they were were sailing downwind

the wind was at their backs that's an interesting tidbit You wouldn't get from any of my other guests.

Yes, you would.

Okay.

My mother-in-law, Fran Bryson, Franny is a junior, is 98 years old.

Now, I've known Fran for 52 years now.

And some of you know about her story, which is Franie's story and that of her family.

Fran had five kids. Franny was number four. And Franny was 18 months old when her father, Donald

Bryson, died in a car accident.

Donald was a decorated World War II veteran, a veteran of the Battle of the Bulge.

And that was really the last big battle of World War II, Hitler's last move.

And it lasted like six weeks. we had 100,000 casualties.
