Hi, Eric. This is Mary Ann. I'm not going to be able to get down there today. It's just been one of those crazy days. So, I'll have Wayne bring the picture down tomorrow. And I finished a lot of the corrections. Many of these corrections I'd already given you, and they're still in there. And I don't know how you're going to fix all of them. I've got a page and a half of all of them. So, I'll talk to you later. Bye-bye. Hi, Eric. Hi, Eric. This is Mary Ann. I was reading through the survey and everything. I think that's very good. The only thing I would for the ones pertaining to Wisconsin, I don't think you're going to find too many because my brother is probably the only one that remembers anything. And he was six years old when I left Wisconsin. So I don't think you're going to expect too many on that. So I'm going to ask you about how many people are you sending out and to whom you're going to ask for these. Let me know, please. Thank you. Bye-bye. Hi, Eric. This is Mary Ann. I hope that you had a good Fourth of July. I have finished what you have given me, but there's a whole section from page 35 to 71, that whole section. There's nothing in there. So I couldn't do that. And on the last pages, I just put this. I wrote down some other thoughts that I thought, you know, you as being such a person of God, you didn't ask me about my faith and how this is involved in my life. I didn’t know if you wanted to just leave that out of the book or whether it was just an oversight on both of our parts. I'd like to discuss that with you.
