This is a rebroadcast of our interview with Virginia Bozarth, Angela's grandma who passed away on Aug 19, 2021. She was a lovely lady and she gave some sound advice that is worth hearing again. We went to see her 2 weeks ago and she told Angela not to let me go, that I was handsome, great, and to make sure I'm happy. I'm putting it here in the notes so that Angela doesn't forget what she said. LOL
