chance number two before having you know what an asset they have just put in words what you guys can do with that uh we were excited about having a lot of good players a lot of dynamic different type of players and so I think our group is always going to do his due diligence and look at just two good group now obviously in two we get a little bit more quick and uh we’ll be excited to get going on this race. How soon you start does the mind start racing about, okay, I can do this, I can do this, I can do this. Yeah. Well, I’m sure we have some guys that ladies that that’s their strong suit. They’ll have a lot more uh complex advanced ideas. But again, we have a good group we feel good about already and continue to add pieces to that. Uh is something that we’re excited about. is that commercial play sitting there for two minutes and wondering obviously you have control over what what Mark’s going to say but it had to be fun and probably the same yeah I’d say it’s nerves right it’s not nervous it’s all good but it’s nerves you want it all and uh when you jump into the top four again you put yourself as an organization in a place to make a really big acquisition which is a good player master build someone that can help you guys all the way and serve as a building block for what you want to do.

So I think from some of the best advice possibly in the military and trying to make it my my own and being myself and continue with the values and principles I’ve been here for a long time is going to be my goal and it’s going to be a challenge but I look forward to how did you process all the feedback there was a lot of joy that was you when it came out there was people were just happy just to see Pop to hear Pop’s voice again. It was a simultaneously hard day and really a good day too for people that know him and love the program and all that. How did you process all that went on? All of it. Yeah. I think that’s a fair way to say it. You know, it was a it was it was a day that um was wide ranging for the human emotion of everybody. And I lived on every side of the coin of uh my relationship with him and experiencing with him and what we have been through and that I’ve been through and what I’m going into. and um as part of uh life and our little bubble in our organization that we feel deeply about and I’m uh very proud and happy and deeply honored and come to be part of
