0:41.0	My 34th year will be starting doing this and wow it's a long time. I mentioned in the
0:48.8	last show about a series of questions or issues that were raised by in response to a question that went out to a lot of our people not sure how exactly that was done but the question had to do what are the tough issues that you face when engaging others about
