Good evening and welcome to the uh Ausha Historical Commission meeting for August 12th. Um the meeting here at the town hall meeting room at 6:30. May I have a motion to open the meeting? >> Second >> or second.
>> All in favor? >> I >> I >> Okay, I want to stand for the pledge to the flag. >> Okay. >> I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the
republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I can remember looking at the big brother show. You probably remember that one on channel 4. It was, you know, a fell named Bob Emory. This
is back in the 50s even. He came on here from New New York in order to be on channel 4 and he put on a kid show for half an hour every Monday through Friday. >> All I remember was Salty Brewery. >> Oh, that's another one entirely. Yeah.
But anyway, I was on that show as was my brother. >> And it was great. He would show cartoons. He would do this, he would do that, and he had contests on several occasions >> to uh he'd give you a curly queue and he'd say, "The best things that you can
draw up and send to me that involve that curly cube somewhere, we get surprise." And what they were given out was board games >> and puzzles, you know, and box puzzles. And it was great. And they actually sent me a terrific Parker Brothers board game
that I I already had several, but not that one. >> Cool. And it was uh it was really something. And he went on until he really couldn't go on any longer, you know, because he was going to be an old guy. But I remember that when we went up there, we actually went to Channel4
Studio. And we said, you know, we'd like to be in the audience for an episode of Big Brother. And who comes out from behind the counter? A big brother himself. And the other room and he hands us the ticket where he was. No, he was a
good guy and but I'm sure she's dead and gone by now. He was getting on any show. Yeah. >> Also, apparently there was another side to him that only a few people knew. He could tend to be kind of irrassable once in a while, but he tried never to be so
within the hearing of a microphone. >> He just that he he was it was a few few minutes before they're going to start. And he said, "Now, all you brats, you sit right down there. We're going to be starting pretty soon. And that went over the temple fish.
>> I think I have anyway. >> Okay. Let's uh >> I'm going to read the minutes to the last meeting. >> Yeah, please. >> Okay. A meeting was held on March 11th, 2025. It was called to order 638. >> Concerning the old library, selectman
said they have taken under consideration moving the large monument and finding the time capsule. Now, we all know that uh it was moved >> this week or last week, I should say. >> Do they find a time capsule? >> Not yet. Not that I know of. Anyway, >> we know where it is.
>> Oh, >> they're going to have to move the slab next and then set it up where the they thought they were going to set up at parting ways. >> The decision was made to put it at the fire station. >> Yeah, there's more room there. >> Okay. The commission should send a letter to the selectman requesting the
historical commission be advised of any decision concerning your library when it will go up for sale. >> That's still I think up in the air. >> Well, they got now they got no excuse to to wait.
>> Awkward building to try to interest something else in going in there because it's up on a hill like the whole trouble with that building is it's going to be gutted. >> Yeah. >> And I suspect that's No parking. >> Damn right. >> And it it needs a a new roof.
>> That roof looks pretty good to me. I don't know where >> I agree with you 100%. But the only way that all that water got in there is going to be a problem with the roof. >> Yeah, but I'm surprised cuz that looks slate, doesn't it? >> I'm sorry. >> That roof. >> It looks like Yeah, that's what they did
years ago. >> Okay. Uhah. A motion to approve minutes approved with changes. Whatever that means. >> Museum hall was leaking cellar. Leak was fixed at a cost of $210.73. >> Oh my goodness.
>> That's old history. I would say old >> budget money will last to May of June or June. May have to ask for more money. That's old history too. May 1st the museum will open. Does it close yet? >> No. Uh, well, I had to close it this past Sunday because I've got the painter
in there. He's painting that hallway. >> Yep. >> Okay. Hamlet Street is still closed. >> Oh, no. Yeah, >> it's open now. >> Yeah, the speeders are back. >> Oh my god. >> Oh dear.
>> Well, you're going to run into that no >> my street. >> They lay in those drainage pipes. You notice on the top half, what a mess. >> They're going right up to the people's stone walls and moving them. So, they're going to widen that street quite a bit.
>> The uh my street at between 4 and 5:00 people coming down to >> get around the stop sign and they come up there to get new gas station. >> Yeah. >> They go down there 60 m hour. >> Oh, Hamlin Street has been terrible since they've opened that.
>> Okay. Hand Street is open. residents, no plaques are available for $100. Um, I think that probably we should say that at a town meeting. >> Yes. >> The next meeting, April 8th, which is a joke. >> Yes.
>> Okay. Reading of the last minutes of the meeting. Good. >> Okay. May I have a a motion to approve those minutes for March? >> I approve. Uh, second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. So, these approved.
Okay. All right. Um, I got that on that I'm going to show you guys all about the uh the uh moving the >> monment. I seen it in the uh >> thing. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.
>> I a nice story on that. >> Yep. >> Okay. Uh All right. The preservation has sent a report to the state and they were going to look at it shortly. We may hear from them
quicker than we thought. Uh Wendy will let me know as soon as she hears from them. I know she did get a letter from them. They were looking for a little more info which she is taking care of. Um the town has a scout that is working
for his eagle award who he will do the work for the two porches on the front of the church. The two porches that eroded the eagle this um I don't know his name but him and his dad I guess his dad is a
contractor. >> So his name >> I don't know his name I didn't get his name. He's a a scout y >> from troop 11 and he's working for his Eagle Scout award. >> Sounds like a real go-getter and he sounds like he's got a supportive daddy
that wants to help. >> Well, we've had he's going to be the third uh scout going in for the Eagle Award that has worked on that church. >> Okay. So, there >> this is the church on Perry Hill. >> This is a good thing. Yep. Well, this is
good. >> Trying to get it on the National Register. >> She's trying to get the church on the National Historic Register. >> That's why uh we had to take pictures and everything of the porches the way they are cuz nothing can be really changed. >> Yep. >> You know,
>> I noticed one other thing. I noticed they finally have reopened the road that goes by the old mill and the old mill is no longer to be seen as I recall. >> That's Hamlin Street. >> Yes. >> That's the racetrack. Uh-huh. >> It's not a street anymore. It's a
racetrack. >> Well, because they fix it up so well. >> Well, they come down Hamlin Street and just when you get around that first bend >> is where we where I live >> and they hit it. >> And I mean, they they're going down 50
60 m an hour. >> What do we got cops for? They ought to be lurking cops up there all the time. >> I've already had that conversation already with a few of them. >> Yeah. But what do they need? They need more be in serious accidents that they said, "Oh, gee, we didn't know that was going to happen."
>> They need to get out of their car >> and actually flag these cars down. >> Yes, that ain't going to happen. >> It's not going to happen. >> Charlie went to the selection's office to try to get a speed limit sign on Boilson Street. >> Oh, no. >> That's a joke.
They they said that if the houses are a certain distance apart, >> then the speed limit is automatically 30 miles long and they don't have to put up a sign. >> Mhm. >> So, you have no signs? >> No. >> Well, how many people are aware of that
rule? >> Nobody. >> Nobody. I guess you got to you got to ask. >> Yes. And how many do? >> Cuz on my street there was 30 mph signs, too. They don't do 30. But it's just like the park now. The park's got all kinds of huge signs up to keep the kids
out with EVs. >> But they figure what we don't know can't hurt us. So the kids aren't going to push for put, you know, the kids just ignore the signs. >> You need a cop there or somebody there to enforce it. >> And there's another problem going on
with the kids in town. They've got these new electric bikes. >> The tires are yay thick. >> All right. flying all over town, scaring people, uh going right across Main Street to the park, in and out without
looking for the cars. >> I've heard they've had a couple of close calls. Okay. >> Is that permissible under the current regulations for motor vehicles? I wonder >> I don't know. >> I drive an electric bike now. Are you will do 25 miles an hour? It doesn't
sound like a lot, but on a bicycle it is. It can be. Some of these kids bikes, the smaller ones are doing 35 miles. >> That's right. They're doing more than that. >> And these kids are 10, 12 years old. These are not kids. >> I had one come up to me in a park one day and asked me to race.
>> Yeah. >> Says, "You want to race?" I says, "I'm almost 80 years old. I don't race anymore." I said, "Come on, old man. Let's race." I was riding along one day in my car and what did I see up on Main Street, you know, not far from where I live, coming
on the other side of the street, >> four full grown adults riding on the wrong side of the street with their bikes. >> Oh, >> what kind of example does that give to kids? And they were nowhere near as close to the curb as they could have
been. I felt I felt very close to stopping and saying, "What has to happen? Two or more of you getting swept off by a car." >> Good way to get beat up. >> Yeah. >> Good way to get >> You got to be careful. >> Stop and tell them something. >> No, I'll jump right back in my car and be gone.
>> Yeah. >> It's too scary. >> I know. I'll tell you one thing that can be an awfully serious weapon. Rockhard Norwegian knuckles. >> That's what I got. Not not 75y old. They're useless.
>> One and they'll knock you down. >> Oh, not if you know where you're hitting. >> No, my my rel some of my relatives came over from Norway about 1905 when Sweden let them go. Sweden had dominated and controlled Norway since
the early 1800s. My relatives that came over here eventually, you know, technically they had to be considered national Swedes, although they knew not a word of Swedish and they were Norwegian through and through and only because Sweden had
taken them over. Before that happened back in the early 1800s, the country had been dominated by Lebanon. No, no, no. Lebanon. Um um oh what's the other country down there sort of down the end of the line and
it's uh why can't I come to grips with it >> old age >> all right okay so where are we here I I got here monument finally moved left on trailer
will be set up at town fire station after base is moved >> yeah the They should be moved next week according to what Matt told me. >> Now, did the 60 grand cover the uh total move? Do you know yet?
>> No, I don't know that. Um, all I know is that the other part will be moved and they're going to set it up and it may take a week or two for it to, you know, settle before >> I understand that. But we we we dished out $60,000.
>> That was at CPC. >> Yes, I understand. And I I'm on the commission. >> What I'm saying is, is there any word come back to anybody that might be costing more money? >> Nope. I haven't heard that yet. I have not heard that yet.
>> Mhm. >> Okay. Uh got to see here messages. >> Too bad we haven't got a few people. Maybe younger people would be interested in this sort of thing. I don't know. >> See the uh the thing is I've got the painter working at the museum in the
front hallway. I don't know if you remember the town >> how dark and gloomy it was. All the woodwork was brown and this was like kind of white painted everything. The new ceiling.
He had to patch the walls that might work. >> Oh my god. The walls are in hard. You ain't going to put it in a picture. >> So, um it finished yesterday. Uh, so today we left everything alone. But this is like a tannanish color. It's got pretty name to it.
That's why I chose that. But anyway, the woodworm is slightly darker than the walls. >> Walls are a little bit lighter. The three little towns and they look really good. Now when people walk in, they're not going to see the
>> was the one that explained about moving them. This is the the the haven one. Yes. That's what a Christian should have. Sure. >> This is the hallway at the uh museum that they painted. He had to he repaired the ceiling, all the walls. They had
holes in them. And >> you have money for that? >> This was through the town money. didn't cost me nothing >> cuz they they cut our budget this year anyways because now with the new alarm system
>> I don't pay for telephone alarm >> and what else? Electric. >> Yeah. >> The bill when it comes in goes straight upstairs >> that that grant that they got to do all that wiring and everything and people
can tie into it and get Wi-Fi. >> Yep. I know they've gone up to the mu museum. I don't know if they've gone as far as your house. >> Um, >> you see Evers trucks working out there on the lines? >> Oh, sure. >> In front of your house. >> They they were. I
>> Yeah, >> sure. I think they're all done. You're talking about the poles. >> The pole. They did the poles and the wiring, but in the museum they brought the wires in. They put a whole new alarm system. >> That's nice.
No, that contain my thumb is driving me crazy. >> Well, be Asia is probably after we're all gone before they have to do it again. >> Oh, no. It'll be there for years. It'll outlive us. >> Okay. Um the basement walls in the
museum were all repaired and thank God no more leaks. Uh the kitchen got a whole new uplift with scraping and painting. >> He did a good job there. He did such a good job that we found some money from the town that he did all the basement
pop. >> So everything's been painted. It's all nice and clean. >> Sure. >> It looks good again. >> Yeah, of course. No, that's nice. >> When is it? When is it open again? Sunday. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I had to close it last Sunday because he wasn't done painting.
>> Um Okay. August 5th, the Veterans Monument got moved to the fire station on Main Street. >> I'm not sure if that is where it will stay. I was told it was going to Potting Lawn, but I checked yesterday when I was
at town hall. I didn't get a chance to talk to Mr. Kelly, but I saw Matt and I asked him about it. He said it was no room. The monument, it was too big to go anywhere in hiding ways, not enough room. But over there, it's got plenty of
room. And I think it's going to be nice cuz it'll be like on a >> be able to see it. >> It' be a little bit of an angle where you can see Wing Road and everything. You'll be able to see it. >> Well, have you ever been there at 9/11 Memorial? >> Oh, yeah. >> They have the rock. The rock.
>> Yeah. >> Okay. So, um the other thing is, um this Friday, uh Okay. I got a problem up at the meeting house. Uh there's a lot of trees that one big branch came down with
the storm. Things have got to be cleaned up over there. >> I thought we went with were the only ones with that problem. We lost at least five immense trees and they can't come to straighten the thing out until well into September. >> I believe that they're all cutting trees all over town.
>> Now, if you're passing by my place, take a look beside us and you're going to see what I'm talking about. I went out, but we've only got a rather pathetic saw. And I cut off all the smallest branches, all the leaves, and every other damn thing where I >> You can't cut the big ones. >> No, of course I can. But I figured it
was helping somebody. >> Yeah. >> My friend had a huge tree come down, and he had a um haunted hut where he kept his carvet, >> which motorcycle. >> What is a haunted hut? >> Huh? >> What is a haunted hut?
>> I'm sorry. >> What is a haunted hut? No, no. Quincet hut. >> Oh, quite hut. Okay. >> Yeah. With fabric. It's big. It's huge. Yeah. And a tree come down. It landed right in the on the front of it. Wonderful. >> And it came that far from everything inside. >> Oh my gosh.
>> He was lucky. Really? >> The whole time we have been there, we have had voluntarily we've taken out a tree here and a tree there. Over the years, never have we lost one to the actions of weather. >> All Main Street all the way up Main
Street. I mean, you can see the size of the trees. They laying there on the ground or the stumps there. >> Yes, you did. Yes, you did. Yeah. >> Well, we lost our electric for Thursday, Friday, and didn't get back till midnight on the Saturday night.
>> We lost, but not for that long. >> Almost 3 days. >> Mm- We lost it for 10 seconds. >> You know why? I think somebody told me we were on the same circuit as the fire station >> and as soon as they lose power, >> everything gets switched over to a new
line. >> Maybe generator or something. >> No, because they can't afford to lose power. >> No. >> No, absolutely not. >> And this whole section of town, I heard was on that same line. >> Mine let go again. Was it Saturday
night? We lost it for about an hour and no sign of life outside at all. All of a sudden, I heard a truck coming down the street. I said, "Navy source." Sure enough, stopped right in front of my house >> because on the telephone pole on my in
front of my house is a transformer. >> Oh, he's probably got a circuit breaker there, too. >> The whole thing blew >> inside. He got up on his his c. He took the cover off and he pulled this long thing out like that. And it was he said
it was all burnt to shreds. And he put a new one in. I guess he had it on the truck. Put a new one in. All the power came on again. I couldn't believe it. >> Yeah. Believe it. >> Nobody in town loses power like Hamlin
Street. We Somebody sneezes, our power goes out. >> We have instances where our power goes off for less than a minute and then comes back on again. >> Well, you're lucky if it's only a minute. Yeah, cuz we come back down the kitchen in the morning and see that it's
not the right time. >> Yeah, mine's the same way I wake up that used to be over here where >> I found this up at the meeting on the thing here. >> Yeah, >> I got a question for you. >> I don't even know uh how it got here.
>> Anybody but me know the origin of the word of Kushnet? >> What does it say? >> Oh, I heard >> present friends wa >> that meant swimming like a post. Well, that's the original, >> you know, but why was No, it looks like a >> I don't know where it came from, though.
>> I don't know if somebody gave it to me. >> If I did it was people I started up a Sunday when I was up there on as a young man around the horn >> right where the fire station. stayed in the Pacific for over two years hunting
for whales >> in a vessel called the Aushnet. >> Why would they have ah >> what the hell does Kushnet mean? Where would the name come from? >> A looks like Philadelphia. >> But I do know you got a vessel. Okay. What we got name? >> What's the name of the Kushnet?
>> Where the hell that name come from? >> Herman Millville's vessel. >> Yeah, but what I'm saying is originally how did they know the name of the boat? >> It's obviously an Indian name and I don't know what it mean. >> Well, that's what I meant. I heard the Christian means swimming all about it in that may very well mean that because of
the river make a piece of good you know nice down there. >> Yeah, I bet it was. I bet it was delightful. >> Okay. >> Okay, >> let's finish up here. Okay, this I finally found this at the meeting house.
This is the meeting house that used to be over here years ago where the fire station is. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. Yeah, there was a >> Henway back. It's way back 1800s. >> It's in the history book.
>> But I found the photo of it at the meeting house this week. So I brought it with me. It's going into the museum. >> Yep. >> Cuz I get more visitors, you know, in the museum cuz right now I can't open the meeting house. But I am want to find
out why. I want to know why. why we can't uh use that building. Okay. And as I started saying about there's a lot of trees up there that's a mess up at the meeting house. So yesterday I got an email from
our new uh uh tree warden Lucas Korea. So um I had sent to town hall all the trees what the mess that's up there that needs to be uh come down. So anyways, he's
going to meet me Friday at the meeting house and so I can show him what needs to come down. >> That's good. >> Yeah. So I guess he's going to be okay. He's working with us. >> Okay. >> Now, if he needs any help, uh I hope he'll tell you what the nature of the help is. He needs
>> Well, if he if he has help, he's only the um the person in charge. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So he'll probably get like one of the tree companies. I don't know if it'll get raise or whoever the town has
got working for them right now >> and they come and they they do but I I need to talk to him because I got to make sure that they don't think it's coming out of our budget cuz there's no >> No, no, you don't want >> No. None at all. >> Yeah.
>> Okay. All right. So, I I got this a while back because we've been cancelling meetings right along here. Um, >> you can't get a quorum. >> Well, it's very hard to get a core, >> especially the heat of the summer.
>> And I keep asking uh in the Suckman's meeting, they bring it up on TV and everything. And so, I've had no inquiries. And yet I've got two or three people I've talked to that love history, were born and raised here, and come on,
I need you guys on the me on the committee. >> Nobody wants to give up their time. >> No, they don't want to give up their time. No, >> the whole time we've been here, I we have met relatively few people. I wouldn't even know who to talk to for such reasons. You know what?
>> You got to get it out to the public. >> Yeah. You just got to >> can't be talking to the individuals. I ain't got to do anything. >> No, >> it's only a cushion page. I too I believe they've got it all. >> Maybe a small piece in the standard times. Although people
not that many people read the standard times anymore cuz it's so damn expensive >> and it's a stupid thing. >> You should put it in. >> Yeah, you put it in dumber on Sunday. I wouldn't buy one of those on a Sunday. >> What's that? >> You got standard times. It's like five
bucks or something, ain't it? >> Any one of the three is five bucks now. Whether the advertise >> the Globe I found my mother had a bunch of newspapers from the late 60s, early 70s. >> Yep. >> Standard Times and I've been reading
them. What a difference. >> Yes. >> Well, because fewer people were depending on other news sources at >> you know how much it was then? Seven cents. >> Okay, I'm going to give you guys this. You can take this home and read it. It's something to do with the um the planning
board what their plans are. >> Yep. >> And um she sent me the email and then I printed out uh these. Okay. So, you might want to take them home, look them over, and just so you have some knowledge of what's going on with it.
And this is all about CPA. Oh, >> yeah. Joanne Coford. She's a state senator, I believe. See, it says district address, Hampshire, Franklin, Worester. >> Oh, and this this um I got sent this in the mail about the library.
>> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. So, you might want to read that. >> Yep. >> Yep. >> Senior Community Grants Coordinator. >> Yep. >> Exe Executive Office of Housing and
Liverpool Communities, Cambridge Street, Boston. You read this. The town seeks funding to conduct a building condition study of the historic custom memorial library, a structure of great architectural and cultural
significance. the feasibility of that definitely reusing the building. >> You know what strikes me? >> Can't use it for housing. >> Yeah, >> they tried that once before turn it into like um for veterans.
>> Yeah, >> they they couldn't do it. They backed away. It was going to cost too much money. >> That's true of an awful lot of your older buildings. They're every day they're decaying a little more >> and there's other problems with them that make them undesirable and unworkable. Well, they look at them and
they know they're going to cost too much money. Yes. What it is right in the beginning. >> Very sad. It really is. >> Truly is. >> So yes. So, I guess we're going to have to wait to see what the selectman decide now as
far as if they're going to sell the uh library with the stipulation you can't change the exterior or they're going to sell it as a building and whoever buys it can tear it down. >> No, no, no, no, no, no, no. >> Well, it ain't going to I doubt if it's
going to sell the other way. Oh, me too. I put the restriction on it selling it in any way. We've got the restriction on it uh for the the facade of the building not to be touched. >> If they haven't waited
better, you know, several years ago committee hysterical. >> Yeah, >> he saidman can't override that. >> They told me that would go in the deed. >> That would be in the deed that that
would always stay with the building. that well that might make it very even more difficult to find a buyer with that. >> Well, if you look at the building from the front, there's nothing really they have to change. >> It doesn't look like it's producing a lot of problems, but you know, you get a
little closer and you realize, you know, >> well, I mean, they got to fix it up. There's no doubt about it. >> Isn't it kind of hard to reach it on foot from the main Greg? >> Well, you can park. There is a a few spots >> right there on Main Street in front of the library.
>> There's four parking spots alongside the building >> and four. That's right. >> So, >> I mean, >> I like that library. I went I didn't go in there very often, but I like what I saw and I I like what they've been in
there I think back in the 60s. >> Oh, yeah. >> I wasn't even around that time. >> I went in there a few times myself. In fact, when they closed the doors, they donated a lot of books to us at the a museum. >> Oh, really? >> We got them in the case. You never came
up there on a Sunday when we were open. >> The last two months I've been kind of uh I got quite a few very workable books. Some of them I've never read, but many of them are in awfully good shape. I'm going to make a list and give it to you
and see if anybody can use any of them. M >> uh I tend to read books that were written prior to 1920. I like the old guys. >> About what though? What kind of books? >> Alexandra Duma, Victor Hugo,
um Dre Fenmore Cooper. >> I don't know the names. >> No, no, no. >> Mark Twain. Uh no, there's a bunch of them. Also some foreign writers, you know, were Russian or other. And uh
you know there are those who would be glad to grab such a book. >> You just got to figure out who are they? >> I got a lot of book and I can't think seriously. >> Why don't you donate them to the new library on Middle Road? Maybe they would take them happily.
>> You know you're right. But I'll tell you tell you why. That's a good point. Because the misses, even though she was injured, she attended their most recent meeting. Uh-huh. >> Uh, yeah. Cuz she's getting she's getting slowly better and she figured she'd but I I dropped her off there. She had had the meeting and then I picked
her up again. And >> what meeting is she going to? >> Well, it's a meeting held at the library where you have perhaps half a dozen women who are all reading the same relatively recently written book. >> Oh, >> yeah. They have a club or something, don't they? >> And well, they talk about it. They talk
about the book they've read >> and they seem to like it. You know, >> they show movies there, too. >> Yeah. Yeah. Oh, they have live entertainment outside under the >> Wednesday night patio. >> Yeah. >> They seem delighted to have that meeting and I I wouldn't make
>> So, what's this? >> Mrs. Mr. >> That's all stuff that that guy gave us. Remember the last one of the meetings we came to. This is all the stuff about u uh >> all. No, this is Charity F. And yeah, he
he was here. They gave us all that stuff. I breezed through it. A lot of this is uh >> Oh, separate. That was the me at the fire station. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yes. And a lot of it is on that test that you have to take every two years >> about conflict of interest. I just took
it again not too long ago. >> Then I got sworn in and all that. >> Yeah. >> Anyway, um I mean I don't know. you get some ideas of uh how we can try to pursue more
members, get more people active because it's getting to be harder and harder, you know. >> Well, the ones that are here tonight, I can't go on forever. >> Well, the thing is >> How many? There's five now, right? >> It's supposed to be seven. >> Oh, okay. >> Be nice if we could get up to seven.
That way they would it would be hard to imagine that you couldn't hold the meeting because there's no core but you got seven people if they were all committed. That's the problem. >> Wasn't there another girl at one time that she did she come once? You were you were
>> Yeah, she was I don't remember her name though. >> Yeah, she did come. We were in one of the meetings >> once while I was here. >> No. >> Who's Who do they have listed on them? Oh, just Richard and uh Meline.
