We are glad you're with us this morning on our broadcast of the Mississippi's new governor and the time of transition. Inauguration electronic field trip. I'm John Johnson and we want to welcome our students from around the state. High school students say elementary school students junior high school students and we hope this next half hour will be for you an education something that you will be able to to learn about inaugural activities. We have them every four years in the state of Mississippi. And we are glad you are with us. We will be glad to have. We have some questions

for you. They will come from across the state and we will have some some guests here. Craig Rey will be here with us. He is in charge of the Inaugural Committee and the operation today. So this is a big day for him. We will also be talking with William Wyler and Mrs. while he was governor of Mississippi for four years in 1972. He was here. We'll be talking with him about what this day is like for governors and their families. So we're glad you're here with us. We hope that when you end this half hour you will know more about what takes place with inaugural activities and what this day means for the governor and what it means for you. Members of the state of Mississippi and we're glad you're with us. We're going to go now to Craig Ray. He is deputy executive director of the inaugural committee. Craig glad to have you with us. What is this day like for you and what's your job. Well John thanks for having me and we. Really

are excited about today. And all of the inaugural activities. My particular job is actually the director of all the inaugural activities from our pre-inaugural receptions to the inauguration ceremony to the gala last night to the inaugural balls this evening. We've had phenomenal crowds around the state and people are really excited about our new governor and all of our activities that we've planned for them to enjoy this special day. None of this takes place all of the people here all of the people who come from across the state and all the activities and you can see the crowd gathering now we're about a half hour away from the activity getting started. None of this takes place without preparation. What's the preparation like. But we started after election night after we had won the election and we started planning all of our inaugural activities so many many hours of planning and recruiting new people to help us out with this grand plan and in hiring vendors and raising money for the

event and then just planning the media coverage you know anywhere from 50 to 70 hours a week. We've been working nonstop since election night and it's. Been just a huge success. And this is our day today. This is not this. I'm sorry. This is not the first time you worked with or real activity is that right. That's correct. I've worked on two other presidential inaugurals in Washington D.C. for former President Bush an hour and now our current president. What. Goes into building the stage behind you. I know that it's not just build the platform and we get it on. You do more than that. Is that right what's the philosophy behind that. What we try to do here with this particular stage is to bring the governor closer to the people. We have hired an architect to give us several different renderings for our plan. And and we're just really excited about the lay out. This is the largest stage in the history of Mississippi where it's sitting about 900 people on

stage and we're all ready to go. We've been talking with Craig Ray. He's deputy executive director of the inaugural committee. Craig we thank you very much for talking with us. I know that this is a big day for you we appreciate you stopping by on this busy day. Thank you. Thank you John. Thanks for being here. Thank you. Now we'll go to some very special guests and Governor William Wyler and Mrs. Waller. It is a pleasure. I'm going to lose my papers here. It is a pleasure to see you welcome. Absolutely. We're glad to be here. Beautiful day. Big event. It is a big event well how big of an event is this. Well I think it's a. Beginning of a new era for a new governor a new administrator a new legislature new program new very it's a great exciting opportunity for Mississippians of all ages to get involved in the government participate and be aware of what's going on and I think even the students today are more. Involved in government. This is a great larger ceremony very important to history in. The Governor. Barbara

of course will my kids inaugural address and he will outline some of the things. We need players to do over the next four years. In 1972 Mrs. Waller you moved into the governor's mansion. What is it like to move into the governor's mansion. Well my cousin's wedding gift it was had to be stolen. And so we worked on it. How about. We leave the. Back. Nine months you know. And I worked on it you know we had the top people in the nation to this story. So it's this door to the top of period. And so we're we're very fortunate to get the top main in the nation to hamper us. You were known as the as the as the first family that helped restore that mansion. Once you did move in. What was the biggest change in living. Oh. Well we had five children and they enjoyed it thoroughly. And it really got to do is change and know with their

friends and they explored the attic and the basement and. They were just a wonderful thing to do. So. Let me ask a question Governor. This is from Blade elementary school and Rustan Sam's fifth grader at Glade Elementary School in Jones in Laurel Jones County area. He says that here is what Russin asked. Our class visited the new Capitol in December. Will you have an office away from the capital. As Carol was said the. Day of governors major store. And inside the governor's mansion he didn't have an opportunity to visit your place where there's a large executive suite for the governor where he has an office with all of the. So has a large conference room where you can make with eight 10 12 or 15 people inside the mansion so there's a jury office and

imagine and in the history of our state you'll find that many governors perform their objective function to end the match and from the imagining through the match. And so it's an important part of government. So we'll take that to go up use every day. Where do you spend most of your time in this office here at this time. We were. Mainly tied to the camp. We have a I have my office. And all those young fellows at the new Gallup poll. Found. Here and. I was out doing weekend work and my work and course being governor. Well you know now when some storms come through an emergency or some. Catastrophe you cops stop doing. The governor's got to react at all times. So it is a good standby situation. I've got another question from Schuyler's demand. She's a fifth grader at again at Glade elementary and this is the question for you. And this

is a really important governor. After you were elected as the new governor of Mississippi how did it feel the first time you walked into the new capital. Well our work has come back. It is exhilarating in the sense of the word exciting. We were aware that we weren't It had a government of the state of Mississippi and. I guess you might say he moved me from a. Regular level of. Citizenship to the executive branch of government. Where I was a head for the state and it was. All inspired on Blaine who was. Kind of made you wonder if you were capable. You. Thought about. Your ability to do the job and. From being a private citizen into the governor's office a real big moment. Mrs. Waller what was it like for you. To move into this

Capitol and to see this capitol when you became first lady of the state. What were your feelings. Well. Now. I'm a native. Texan. So I've always loved Catholic I never dreamed of being a governor's wife. Today we did praise. God. I found. Robbie. Using. The phrase. Simply because I guess every chance I get. I. Would go to the camp. And see all the. Paintings and everything. And. Since day sales. We would. Take tours. Of the Capitol and I'm proud of that. I. Feel like we're really blessed in Mississippi. Was. Down last night. It is a beautiful town. And I try to visit every capital on the. State. And I've never seen one that I thought was pretty. Governor. And. Mrs. Waller what. When you talk about the staff that you have that work for the governor. How many on the staff at the mansion or other places.

Well it varies from day to day. What we're trying to show the. Taxpayer we were not. Throwing a lot of money away. A win win what you might say is the main problem. With trying to. Bring people. Money. I think it's still. New. But government must. A good time the person. Giving. Up. To do the work. Matt. Brown. State. By. Contrast. Was. Here. All day and all my. Internet. You. In charge. No. Do. You. Have security. Personnel. There. Have homes. That may. Start.

To. Come. Out. At all. People. Have. Started somewhere. That. There is. A reception a brick wall or tell us about the gazebo at the governor's mansion and there's a story behind that. Well. How close they were to those. And. There were very interesting because as far as I know like you don't want. That. Particular. Job. They won't. And we had to do it every day except one. Hour. And. Just. Busloads of school children. Would. Come to the mansion. And I was so close because we had teenage children and they even got so busy we didn't have anybody on high. And so I. Felt like I

wanted our children to. Mississippi to see and to appreciate the history of it because I had been in almost as many governors mansions is forever. And I think we have the most. The most is dark. And I'm just so mindful that the people in Mississippi want you to have it restored. And that's the greatest compliment on our people. That we can help. We thank you very much for doing what you did for the state of Mississippi. We thank you for being here with us this morning and I hope you will enjoy the rest of your day. Thank you. All right now we will go to. Grove of course is leaving office as of 12:00 today. And we talk with some students some students talk with the governor about his last days in office and what he thought he accomplished listen to that. None of those come to this Capitol with the notion that we as individuals can make great change. We come to this building knowing that by working

together debating the issues investigating the options and compromising not our integrity only our intentions we can find workable solutions that will impact our generation and generations of Mississippians to come. You. Emphasize the past six years and indeed the adequate education bill and all the advancements that we've had so far. Can you give us an idea where you see education in our state going in the next six years.

Mississippi was the first state in the nation to pass a new funding form without being challenged by the courts to do so that way every child has an opportunity for quality education. And since we passed the adequate education act we've seen our test scores improve a nationally recognized accountability system and more of our schools being successful than ever before. Our task force. To put forward. Is a and I'm proud of that as long as we continue to invest in education and make it our top priority. We can attract the kind of jobs that are going to keep our young people in Mississippi. During your term. You brought up the idea of a brain drain and the effects that it's having on the state. What do you think is being done what has been done to correct this problem. But. The first thing we need to do is make education our top priority our young people need to know they could get a quality job. The reason you want a good education is to attract the Nissans. How were computers Northrop Grumman and the thousands of other jobs that we attracted over the last four years. Our young people

will study in Mississippi when they get the opportunity to work to raise their family to build their careers right here and not have to go someplace else and that all starts with investing in education first. That's why making education a top priority is so important. For your term. You said a lot of goals in education and clearly emphasized it throughout the four years. Do you feel that you've met most of your goals and do you think that in the next campaign others will carry on your goals and accomplish them. Four years ago the people of Mississippi honored me. I. Like to make governor. By doing so it gave me some opportunity to work with legislators educators and people across the state to improve our schools I set out certain goals and that wants to make education our top priority. We were the first state in the nation to fund education this past year 62 percent of the state budget. 83 percent of our schools are currently now radious successful or

better. We raised teacher pay from 40 nights in the nation tonight on full implementation. Mississippi is the first state in the nation to put internet accessible computers in every classroom in our state. Those are tangible results of our investment and our young people. Our young people may make up only about a third of our population but they make up all of our teachers and for us to have the kind of quality opportunity and prosperity in Mississippi. We've got to invest in education. Our top priority. And my belief in hope and goal for the legislature of the state of Mississippi is to continue to make education our top priority. Now that we have a Nissan plant. What do you think Mississippi is going as far as technology and industry experts tell us that over the next 15 to 20 years there will be over 150 new automobile plants built worldwide. Out of that number at least 40 of them will be in the southeastern part of the United States. That means Mississippi has a chance to

attract the high quality high paying jobs that we did when we got Nissan to Mississippi. And Nissan came because of a workforce. And the deal we were able to put together so I believe it bodes very well for the future in technology when you're building computers when you're building cars when you're building world class ships because that puts us on the radar screen for companies looking to locate. And I believe Mississippi's teachers pride because of the investment that we've made in education right now. The outgoing Governor Ronnie Musgrove who will in his office today. Now we will go to the incoming governor. He was interviewed in our studios. Governor. Barbour. And Governor Mrs. Barbour are here on videotape on the morning of the inauguration. We're so glad that you could spend a few minutes with us and answer some questions from the youngsters themselves. These come from the ninth graders in the Mississippi studies class at Northwest rank in high school. And

these are the kids questions and they're pretty good. I think I've had all that highly. You can jump in any time you'd like. What plans do you have to improve our job industry. Now we've only got 10 minutes so of course the number one priority of this administration because it's our most immediate urgent need to create more better paying jobs in this city. I said during the campaign and I will say in my novel or in my early proposals of the legislature the key is to me for more job creation myths. If you don't raise taxes we've already got some of the highest protections. We don't get people to come in and create jobs. If we raise our tax reform lawsuit abuse hurts our ability to create jobs by driving up costs and also making people feel insecure about being able to help them improve our workforce development system. We've been improving our K through 12. These young people taking what. When I was in high school called Mississippi history in the ninth grade we are improving that system but we have to embrace lifelong learning in Mississippi and workforce

development skills training is crucial for our working people to create jobs and people will come here to have new factories or plants or businesses. Let's say they know they have a workforce is skilled enough to be training directed the military is protecting our forest products industry and furniture industry from unfair illegal trade practice. These are just five specific things that I know we have to work on if we're going to create jobs in the short term. All right. Next question again from the ninth graders what are your plans to reduce the increasing number of teenage pregnancies in Mississippi. It's a huge problem. I mean it's just it's a huge problem. And more than half the children born in this have been every year. And the studies are very clear. They have a much lower chance of success and a much higher chance of being in the penitentiary or getting on drugs or not graduate school or dying in an early age. We've got to teach abstinence to our

children. We've got to be serious about it. We've got to do everything in state policy that is for stronger families and we've got to quit doing things that inadvertently weaken families. Jean I remember 30 years ago the head of hood the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development the head of Missippi told me that he had eight or ten thousand apartments in Mississippi and not one married couple lived in one of the government's policy didn't allow people who were married with government policies that are this and is to marriage or awful mistakes that may not be if somebody did it deliberately. But we need to have policies that encourage marriage and we need to do well with policies that are disincentives to marriage. That was a couple of choices start. Right. And where do you stand on the abortion issue. I'm pro-life have been very vocally pro-life. The National Right to Life Committee and the local Right to Life people endorsed me Ms If you write like Dorsch me and

in the campaign. I'm a pretty straightforward thing and I should mention the governor must both credit the right to life to be pro-life. Are you according to the ninth graders optimistic about Mississippi's economic status increasing. Yes. Well I'm optimistic about Missippi period. We have a lot going for us. In fact the 90s were the best economic decade in history Mississippi. We had more job creation more income growth more diversification of our economy in the 90s and any other decade ever. And we got in a rut and it's not anybody's fault in particular. It's not about buying elections over what we're going to do about it. But the fact is the 90s prove indisputably we got what it takes. We have great natural resources. We've got a warm sincere community fierce patriotism and not just in times like this we are the right moral values. We have a can do spirit. We've had a can do spirit in our state we have to regain it we've got to recapture it in

this inauguration we talk about this the moment. It's the moment to seize the opportunity to to work together to make mischief we can be these ninth graders. We owe it to them to let them have the future that Missippi the potential of. That's a that's that's that's what they deserve in their future with the right leadership. We do what college did you go to. Both of you. And what were your majors in college. I went down there. University of Mississippi that's where you met wasn't letting But I guess just before I went to school at the University and graduated in business with a major in Org I went to Old Miss undergraduate school. And I don't have a bachelor's degree. Maybe I'll say maybe we can but I would very straight. You are one of the next few years that I went to law school without ever having actually graduate

school but I have a I have a long and how long have you been married. Thirty two years. And for the youngsters who wonder too how many children and what are they up to. We have a choice. Sterling is 29 and he's in Birmingham Alabama. I want to turn to other boys from your city have the franchise for a restaurant national restaurant franchise and they have two restaurants in Birmingham and then Reeves who is our younger son just graduated from Ole Miss. And you just got to worry about it if he's looking for a job. So I call him. Well speaking of jobs what new jobs will be available during your term. You might have one for. Well as I said earlier job creation got to be the number one priority. And while we can target industrial development policy to the exclusion of other things there are clearly some things that really matter Missippi our military bases and our defense complex English shipyard being the classic example largest private

Portland State as a government contractor. We do a lot of business with the government Missippi the federal government gives our state more than four billion dollars a year of our state's unified budget comes directly from the federal government from the federal treasury. But then we have a huge military apparatus here from the waterways experiment station Vicksburg to Columbus Air Force Base to the sea based on all the other bases we're familiar with plus the Stinnes contracts angles and all in the automotive cluster clearly is growing in Mississippi within a few days we'll announce a new industry in Mississippi that's related to all those create 800 jobs in the part of the state it really needs it. Farm products will continue to be a huge industry for our state and we've got to work more on how to get value added processing or manufacturing and farm products and agriculture. You know the furniture industry. That's right. And what we have and adding value through processing or manufacturing so that we get to keep more of the

value of what's good transportation then to be a huge part of our business distribution transportation. So we've got a lot going on here before you ever talk about things like tourism and the hospitality industry which is enormous from this once again from the ninth graders in the Mississippi studies class at Northwest rank. What do you think will make you a good governor. Marchionne that responsibility of what good can all the way to succeed is governors work well with others to get good people around you give them direction but to have the right kind of positive working relationship with the legislature with the local officials whether it's county or city with other state officials you know we have four Democrats and four Republicans and we're going to have to do your thing I can do it. I think the others are really going to have a good working relationship and then finally how do you involve the business community the community

leaders the educate to warsh the church leaders working together we don't have any problems we can't solve. But if the governor thinks he's going to do it all by himself that's a fool's errand. And I do have better sense than that of all the questions I think this is my favorite and most interesting answer. Why does everyone in other states think that Mississippi has a poor education system. And do you plan to do anything about it. Well let's face up to the facts. Our schools on national and standardized tests have been very low. It was announced a few months ago that Mississippi had the lowest AICTE scores college the college test intrusive test we use in Mississippi that we had the lowest in the country and actually went down in the last few years. The good news is we're improving education in our state and it's running must grow deserves credit. Kurt Fordyce deserves some credit.

William Winter 20 years ago got us some sort of a new pilot but we have a long way to go. And you know I say you can't solve the problem you face up to. And we've got to face up to the fact and I think Dr. Johnson who's to superintend education Missippi does face up to it that we can do better in education that we must do better in education. One of the things that these young people know better than old guys like you and me is with computers and the databases that exist every business that might create jobs in Mississippi from now forward we'll have all the information about have schools did about our grades about what we've learned. And so we're not get anybody to come here by them not knowing. We have got to set high standards standards of excellence. We've got to work with our young people to meet them. But we shouldn't deny that we have historically at least had a system

of education of what is good as some others in the country. That's no black and that just a the beginning point for what we don't do. Governor Barbour thank you both very much. Good luck. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. OK. Class. The Mississippi governor's mansion. Do. You. For your semester project in Mississippi history. I want each of you to do a

presentation on a building or other structure that is important to the history of our state whether it's our very own county courthouse where the old capital where the new capital. These buildings tell us something about being Mississippian. And now ladies and gentlemen it's time to pick something from this list. OK and who's interested in the governor's mansion. Hi Casey. Are you going to work on this together. Are you sure you don't want to work together on this. I'm sure my. Me too. I'd like to set my own pace. Yeah I don't want any one holding me. All right you two you can each do separate projects on the governor's mansion. I'm sure they will be very unique. Press. Occupy

1842 the Mississippi governor's mansion is the second oldest continuously occupied governor's residence in the United States. In 1975 it was designated as the national historical landmark the United States Department of Interior making it at that time the second because they could have mentioned to receive this on January 17th 18th and Mississippi legislature appropriated funds to build a capitol building and a suitable house for the space treaty. Thank you. Thanks for the ride. Most of my meetings all got to take about an hour you enough time. I'm a documentary filmmaker. All the work. I'm sorry I keep forgetting how much you want me. Back. Yes you did call me to schedule a tour of the mansion. Here.

I'm fine. Welcome everyone. Welcome to the Mississippi governor. Today you're going to learn about this great building and why we. Take pride in. Construction on the mansion began in 1839 and was completed in 1842. I'm standing on the front portico as you can see by the style of the columns and the semicircular shape of the portico. The mansion was designed in the Greek Revival style that style was very popular at the time the mansion was built. The mansion was designed by a highly respected architect named William Nachle. Back in 1835 governor Runnels appointed Mr. Nichols to be Mississippi State architect. He also designed I see him building which still stands on the old

campus. He also designed the Mississippi Capitol now known as the OK. Of the Mississippi penitentiary. I'm going to group Mr. Nichols a native of England had previously served as state architect in both North Carolina and Alabama. But of all the buildings Nichols side in his long and distinguished the Mississippi governor's mansion in the capital I could say to his grace it's. Coo. This is the foyer. If you look around you'll see that it has eight sides. That's why we call it an octagonal room. Now look at the corner smoldering around the foyer. This design is typical of the Greek Revival style. Do you see the detail. Wooden carving on the Architrave above the doorway.

That's a stylized honeysuckle design just like the designs you might find on a temple in ancient Greece. Despite the impressive design and construction of the mansion some of the first governors who live there are frustrated by the lack of furnishings. In a letter to his wife in January 1850 Governor John F. me quit when I wrote I am sorry to say that the Mansion is not in good order or furnished as I expected. He then had his wife great linens towels napkins and their time. In the years that followed the state legislature was able to appropriate more money to properly furnish the mansion. Then came the Civil War. During the Civil War a number of Jackson's buildings were damaged or destroyed. Fortunately the governor's mansion survived in the years following the Civil War. The state had little money for even the most basic repay

by the late hundreds. The governor's mansion had fallen into a state of disrepair. The leaking roof and smoke damage from the basement heating system. Two of the most serious problem. By the time governor in no way I was elected in 1997 when the Mississippians were calling for the mansion to be sold or even demolished in the well and was no will believe the mantra should be preserved and renovated and not for the renovation which took place in 1998. We might not have a governor's mansion today. Why does it look so yellow. Well my documentary is really going to be so I don't worry I'll be great. Research great research. Your so a

track. For making your research for yourself a track. That. I don't. Have. May. How's it going. I'm fine. So. How was your trip to Texas. It was great. I got a lot of good with it. I'm good. So do you think you'll be able to do a good presentation about it. Well I guess I mean I imagine it's an incredible building but. I got kind of tired of listening to ALL Thorkell stuff. I'm not exactly sure what my presentation about. It. But. I might try to make another trip to shoot some more footage. Good. Well if you go back to Jackson you could do some research at the Department of Archives and History. That's not really my style. I like my camera. But thanks for the suggestion by just letting me know by. Just trying you know. I need that contract by which they tell me on my desk probably Wednesday morning.

All right buddy. All right. Did you get my e-mail. Of. Your roof. Well. It's excellent. Well research you've done a good job. But you're not crazy about it. Let me ask you this. How does the governor's mansion make you feel about being in Mississippi. What does it mean to you personally. Maybe you ought to take a trip to Jax see the mansion first. But that will have to be. I mean this makes me I can sit on my computer. You can see it. Sure. But can you really experience it. Wilson give. Me you know how this thing works.

You must be OK. Yes ma'am. I'm with you. I'll be taking you on your day. Wow. I've never had my own private room or anything. Well I won't exactly be. Private. We have one other guest joining us today. Oh. It's you. Yes it's me. My surprise. Well. I'm glad to see that you two are already acquainted. Let's get started. In case you didn't know this is called the front portico. It's in the Greek Bible so I believe that's right. In the early 1900s there was a real fascination with ancient Greece. That explains the Corinthian columns and the carved capitals at the top. They can't leave design of course of course.

You know it's funny. I always move this building was painted white but I saw an old picture where it looked almost yellow. It was yellow from the time of the white renovation up until Governor Johnson's term in the 1940s. Mississippi had a yellow brick governor's mansion. She got you on that one. Right. You really knew that. And. I did so did I. Will begin our tour today in the foyer. Look in the center of the foyer. You'll see this pedestal table. This is an example of the Empire style which will move on and from the go. Is the governor home today. I think so but we probably won't run into the Governor on this tour. You see we're in what we call the historical section. This part was designed by William Nichols and completed in 1842.

The governor's office and the family living areas are in the Annex that's been added behind the original structure. So the governor doesn't actually live here. The governor lives in the mansion. Yes but not in the historical section the historical area is sometimes used for special events and state dinners. But mainly it's for the public to tour and enjoy. After all this house it belongs to every Mississippi. This is the State Dining Room. The governor hosted a dinner here just last week for some visiting dignitaries. Have a lot of famous people visit here. Sure. Ever heard of the hall of fame baseball player Ty Cobb. No no. Well. How about Billy Graham and General Douglas MacArthur. And Jefferson Davis. Now stay here.

They were entertained in these very rooms. And if they spent the night they slept in the guest bedrooms upstairs. Who was. Well. Before you two were born. Lyndon Johnson visited the mansion too. But that was before he became president of the United States. There was a young congressman from Massachusetts who once stayed in this room. Ever heard of John F. Kennedy JFK President Kennedy. He visited the mansion two just three years before he was elected president. And we have the green bedroom. So all this furniture has been here since the early days of the mansion. Of course not. But it's so authentic looking. Well. In a sense you're both right. The furniture

is from the historical period but most of it's not the original furniture from the mansion the original furniture disappeared. After the Civil War. Right. A lot of it did disappear. You see during the Civil War the state government had to flee Jackson first entreprise was named as the capital then Mekin then Columbus and then make it again. So how did the furniture disappear. Was that some of the furniture supposed to be stored in Macon. That's right at the end of the Civil War. Jackson once again became the capital city governor Benjamin Humphrey sent someone to Macon to retrieve the furniture for the governor's mansion. But it was gone. Gone completely disappeared. Whoa. Let me show you something else that's pretty cool. The 19 0 8 renovation was an important step in the history of the

mansion but some important aspects of William Nichols original ideas were changed. It wasn't until the mansion was restored in the 1970s that we were able to discover some of these original features. Like what. Like this. By looking at William Nichols records. The team that restored the mansion knew there had been sliding doors here in the 18 hundreds. So they put the sliding doors back on. No they dug them out. That's right. They were hidden in the walls in 1981. These wonderful sliding doors were cased in the doorway. Hiding them for more than 60 years. The restorers also removed the flooring that had been put down in 1908 and rediscovered the original hard pine floor. This feels something in my research about being painted. Well you're absolutely right about that too.

Oh this is a case of that's a stent so patterned that once formed a decorative border around the trunk. Very. OK. OK truce if you want. You can help me with my documentary or if you want you can help me with my research paper. Whatever. So your mom picked you up. No she dropped me off but I've got another right back.
