So I went back to college to take the things that I didn't take the first time. And little bit by little bit with my past credits and whatever. I, um, was on a track to graduate. So in 1987, I got another bachelor's degree. I won from the University of Minnesota in speech pathology, and I had one from Briarcliffe in business administration. And that was actually the same day that my daughter graduated high school. So we had fun. It's a good place to go. It was very receptive to continuing ed students. It still is. So that's the only board I'm on is is at Briarcliff. I used to be on the board and head of the board at girls, Inc., and I'm. I'm a believer, actually, that places should have term limits, which they do and should make room for somebody else to. Learn about an organization and get involved and get sold on it. But I still do little projects behind the scenes. And right now we're working on a project. Um, and this is this is not new. They do it in other places, uh, the country having workshops for girls, especially middle school girls, to teach them about the trades, the trades, plumbing, welding, whatever are kind of often overlooked by women. And there's a big push to say, hey, you know, if you can't afford to go to college or you don't want to go to college.  how about looking at this? Go to a community college for a year or two, get certified. You'll get a job. You get a job in. In most cases, you'll get a good paying job. And the trades are very anxious. You know, they're short of workers and whatever. So we're in a program that hopefully will launch this summer called toolbox Giving Girls Skills for life. And yes, if you want to be a lawyer, you can put that in your toolbox. But if you don't put these other things in in your toolbox and we're going to get, you know, people to teach them about trades, we've already done some business visits and whatever. So that's so I get involved in interesting things like that. And sometimes I just pop in to see what the girls, are, but they do wonderful things with the girls. I mean, they do a lot of Stem, um, tutoring. There's always tutoring. They always have to do their homework and, uh, you know, life lessons. They have a very long serving pregnancy prevention program. They teach girls how to defend themselves. What do you do with a stranger? Comes up when you're out for a walk or walking home from school or whatever. How do you handle that? Where do you go? What do you do? And, uh, it's very important. A lot of self-image, uh, along with, with sports and, you know, other activities. It's not just a babysitting service. I mean, they do learn a lot during, during, um, the Covid year last year, we ran a school for 60 girls. A lot of these families don't have internet.  it when school went between hybrid learning and and regular school. What what does a parent who has to work do about child care? Yeah.  so anyway, they ran a school for K through five for 60 girls, completely masked desks separated the each girl had their own set of school supplies and hand sanitizer and, um, iPad so they could, uh, stay safe and also zoom into their classroom when it was the zoom time.

This is at 10:00 at night, and he's supposed to get up at four to be picked up to go to the airport. So long story short, we have a friend, uh, in business and, uh, who has a plane. So we called him, and it turned out that the plane was in Phoenix and it was flying back to Spencer, Iowa, which is 100 miles from here. And so they agreed to come to a small airport about an hour from where we were in California, and pick us up and drop us off in Sioux City.

No, a freshman in high school. So that was about eight years ago. And, uh. They lived. Yeah, they girls went to the American school in, in Israel. And then Sonia went back to Alexander Muss High School program, her second semester of her junior year in high school. And part of that program is a week long trip to Poland, to the concentration camps. And she sent me a photograph of a wall in Auschwitz with the names of. She wanted to know the family names before she went. Of my grandfather on my mother's side of that family. And once again, I have to delve into that a little bit more. I kept thinking during the Covid year, I would really get into, uh, this ancestry project a little bit more. I didn't get into it as much as I thought I would. Uh, so I have the basic family tree, but I haven't gone any further. But yes, I do know. And my mother used to talk about various relatives that that died in the Holocaust. Um, so, um, I do know that the, the Sonia's the oldest granddaughter and her sister went to Alexander months her junior year. Unfortunately, that was two years ago. Her junior year in Israel lasted six weeks. Um, because of Covid. And actually, they had. Like 300 and some various programs. They ended up chartering a plane to get all these students back to New York. And when she flew and when she flew from New York to San Francisco, there were about two people on the plane, you know, it was very, very empty. I mean, she's probably lucky to even get a flight.

When the days his wife didn't work, she was the substitute. But even last, last spring, he did. He did do a few recording and had to be very ingenious. He would be inside the studio and would set up a little pop up tent out in the yard. His. He has one couple studios, but one of them is a small studio right on his property. It's a converted garage, and he would send and put the band outside and run all the chords and everything through the doorway so they could be separated. And so the group with multiple people could be outside with the assumption that being outside is safer than being in a closed building.  he was the only one inside. , you know, it didn't affect me directly.
