We are doing something a little different with this episode of Talking Industrial Automation because TIA host Lisa Richter was invited to be a guest on the Rivergate Marketing Podcast,  produced by Rivergate Marketing, a full-service digital marketing company and CSIA member. This episode touches on a little bit about a lot of things – from marketing to the CSIA Conference to the upcoming CSIA Makreting workshop.  Even if you don't plan to attend the conference, this crossover episode still offers some insights you might be interested in and maybe even a spicy take or two. (RIP Koozie). If this doesn't sound like something you'd be into, that's okay. IIA will be back with the regular programming with the next episode.

There's nothing like cracking open a brand new yearbook and getting a whiff of that adhesive and ink. Each section holds a treasure chest full of memories frozen in time. We quickly skim over some pages while others are studied and admired. Sometimes we skip the photos and quotes altogether and go straight to the signatures. I've always had a personal tradition of waiting until I get home to read what my friends say in the annual. It gives me something to look forward to, plus I can sit back and soak everything in without distractions. I'm busy signing everyone else's at school, so waiting a few extra hours isn't that difficult. After arriving home from MCHS, I say hi to Mom and rush upstairs to my room. With a couple of fluffy pillows behind my back in bed, I'm ready to see what my peers have to say. It's especially fun to see what the cute girls write because a guy never knows what sparks may be swirling around in the universe. "Alrighty, let's get started," I say out loud to myself as I crack open the book and begin to read. "Chris, Well, I don't know you very well, but you seem to be an O.K. guy. You are a lot of laughs. The double dates we have went on haven't been the worst. Hope you have a lotta luck with everything.Teresa" "Wait, what? An 'O.K. guy.' You don't know me well? What does that even mean? We went on double dates together. I'm thrilled they weren't the 'worst' experiences of your life. Gosh! I hate it when people write, 'I don't know you well, but...' That drives me nuts. Well, I'm happy to know I've left a mediocre impression on your life. Maybe one day in the future we can get together for some extra fun mediocre times, really paint the town." "Chris, Hey, I didn't get to know you as well as I would have liked to, but I really think you're great. It was really fun being with you on the Spanish trip to Rivergate. You're just a WILD & CRAZY GUY. Hope I see ya this summer. Love,Jacinda326-----Don't be a stranger.PARTY ANIMAL" "Hmm, I'm getting some significant mixed signals with this one. She doesn't know me well, but she thinks I'm great. I think she wants to hang out with me this summer. I mean, obviously, she wants to hang out because she wrote her phone number. Should I call her now? No. No. No. That looks desperate. I'll wait a few days and maybe ask her if she wants to party? I mean, I have no idea of how to party, but I am absolutely willing to learn. She did ask me not to be a stranger after all. "Chris, Well, if it weren't for you, all of us girls in chemistry would fail! You're a great guy! Stay out of trouble & have a great summer.Love ya,Sandra" "Okay, 'Love ya,' is the exact opposite of 'Love you,' it means I'm in the friend zone in this situation. That's okay because she probably won't even like me at all after the grades come back from that last chemistry test. Everyone thinks I'm smart because all of my buddies are intelligent. I keep trying to tell them, but they don't listen." "Chris, You are a funny and crazy person. You have a way of making people laugh. I think you have a career in comedy. 4th EnglishKaren" " Funny and crazy are good. That's not a bad legacy to leave behind. At least she didn't call me the stinky kid or something like that. I do remember making her snort more than once in class, so she's probably being sincere. I've never thought about a comedy career, but I'm leaving my options open. Should I give Jacinda a call? She did give me her number." "Chris, I'm glad that I got to share Gov. School of the Arts with you. Since then, you have become a special friend. Maybe we don't talk all the time, but you're still special. I will never forget you. Go after your dream. You are a wonderful actor and friend and guy and good-looking! Have a great last year.Your friend,love MelanieP.S. Keep God in your life too!" "Good looking? Wow, I didn't see that one coming. Crap! I should have told her she's beautiful or hot or something like that. Damn! Why didn't I read what Melanie wrote at school so I would have known how to respond? It may be time to forget my tradition. She didn't leave her number, though, and she called me friend, so I should let that one go. Wait, she called me a 'special friend,' so this could be a definite maybe sort of situation. " "Chris, You have been a fun person to be around. Putting up with your stupid jokes was pretty hard to do. Hope you get everything out of life you want. Bobby" "Alright, so maybe a comedy career isn't in my future. Was I fun to be around, or were my jokes stupid? Why does life have to be this difficult to figure out? Was he being sarcastic, and he thinks I'm funny, or was he being serious? That settles it; I'm going to have to unleash some next-level jokes at school tomorrow. Bobby won't know what hit him." "Chris, Well, let's see, I have known you for 12 yrs. Now. And maybe, hopefully, I'll get to know you one more year. You have been a great friend & I appreciate that. I hope you have a GREAT summer!Kim 89" "I hope I have a great summer too, Kim. What did she mean by 'Hopefully, I'll get to know you one more year?' Does she know something I don't? I'm going to have to teach Kim the power of positive thinking. She has been a good friend my entire time in school. I have a couple of Kims in my life since the beginning, and I'm grateful for them both." "Chris, What's going on? This has been a killer year.Your pal,Wade -The Kid" "Wade, for one reason or another, loves to sign my annual with 'the kid.' He's done it every year I've known him. I'm pretty sure he has some infatuation with Billy The Kid. It would make more sense if his name were William or Billy, but it's Wade, and it just doesn't flow. I accept Wade, though, and love him just the same. Some days I greet him with a little finger gun and make the 'pow pow' sound. I'm not sure he gets what I'm referring to, but maybe he will one day." "Chris 'Billy Bob Jo Dean,' That's what you said your name was HA HA. 2nd period has really been a trip with you. You think of more off-the-wall stuff than anyone I know. Killer, stay sweet & make something of yourself. You really have potential but just party every now & then.Love,Twila" "Twila knows me. I guess I should party more often. I'd probably be a little more popular if I did. I think she believed me at first when I lied about my name. At least until roll call, but we got a good laugh out of it. It's sweet she believes I have potential. I need more positive reinforcement like that in my life. I hope we keep in touch. Hmm, she said, 'Love Twila,' Okay, I need to stop doing that." "Chris, I still don't think you're sane, but you're a great guy anyway. Work on the jokes and good luck. See ya on t.v.James" "Alright, this is starting to give me a complex. James is like the fifteenth person to tell me I need to work on my jokes. What the hell is wrong with these people! Oh, maybe it isn't them. He's always told me that I should be an anchorman or weatherman or something like that. I would consider that career, but I have a difficult time keeping a straight face. I could imagine bursting out in laughter for no reason during the forecast or a serious news story." "Chris, Even though your stupid jokes caused my parent's divorce and my grandfather's ulcer, and me getting kicked out of the house into the cold, harsh world at the age of 15, we're still friends.Jeff" "I give up on the jokes." "Chris, It has been of utmost pleasure working with you in the play. Stay cool, and life shall treat you well. God Bless!Robby" "Rob, 'Stay cool?' For real? When have I ever been cool? I wonder if Jacinda is home now? The next day at MCHS, I happened to bump into Scott before the first period. He approached me with an overabundance of enthusiasm and wanted to talk before class. "Dude, you won't believe what I'm about to tell you," he said, smiling ear to ear. " Please don't leave me in suspense; what's up?" I asked. "Jacinda wrote her phone number down in my yearbook. Can you believe that! I think I'm going to call her," came from Scott's mouth. "Dude, you should totally call her," crept from my lips as I shook my head and walked away from the conversation.

Apartment Marketers play a pivotal role in helping to acquire new properties from ownership groups and investors. As with most industries, the competition is fierce and the stakes are high. The Digible Dudes would like to pull the curtain back on what these presentations entail from start to finish, best practices, worst practices, and most memorable moments along the acquisition trail. Today's episode is all about the past, present, and future in marketing with different ownership groups. To discuss this topic, we have a special guest, Joya Pavesi. Joya is the Vice President of marketing & strategy at Rivergate KW Residential, a startup company in the property marketing industry. She is also one of our clients here at Digible Inc. We start the episode, chatting about the changes in business and marketing. We ask Joya how residential companies such as Rivergate get in contact with their potential client base and how long they work on projects with a client. We also talk about at what point during a project, it's best to reach out to a residential marketing company for consultation and help. Joya shares with us what made clients stick with their company. She also talks on Budgeting and how they discuss with their clients to come up with an agreed-upon budget. Afterward, we chat about how the company, Rivergate RW Residential has changed its marketing strategy over the years and how they adapted their services due to COVID-19 We then go on to discuss how the development and influence of technology have changed the field of marketing in most areas from the construction to the finished product. We also chat about whether, compared to five years ago, clients are more informed and involved in project marketing and management. At the end of this episode, we discuss how, at present, we dive into more and more digital marketing tools than local marketing to reach potential customers and its cost-effectiveness.

I’m your host John Haggard On today’s episode, we’re really excited to have special guest Kenneth Thomson with us. Kenneth has a long history in Gallatin. Some people would say, he is the historian of Sumner County, and we’re going to find out about that. And as I understand it, he has dedicated most of his life studying and preserving local history. And if I just mentioned a few of his accolades, board chairman of the Gallatin City Historic District Commission, the Board of directors on the Sumner County Museum, and on the public records commission, the archives board, also a member of the Sons of the American Revolution due to your father-in-law Colonel John Donaldson having served in the Revolutionary War so welcome to the podcast Ken. Kenneth Thomson 1:14 He’s my ancestor and I joined the Andrew Jackson Chapter, and Andrew Jackson was his son-in-law. John Haggard 1:22 Let’s get that. Andrew Jackson was… Kenneth Thomson 1:24 He was John Donaldson’s son in law. John Haggard 1:26 Wow. Kenneth Thomson 1:27 And I joined the Andrew Jackson Chapter in 1964. John Haggard 1:31 You’re also one of the original 15 members of the board of the Bledsoe’s Lick Historical Association. Did I get that right? Kenneth Thomson 1:38 Yes, that maintains Wynnewood and Bledsoe Park. And there are only two of us left, Nathan Harsh, and me. John Haggard 1:44 Wow. And you’re also a life member of the Andrew Jackson foundation that maintains the Hermitage. Kenneth Thomson 1:51 60 years John Haggard 1:52 60 years so what’s that like… I was there years ago just walking through and… Kenneth Thomson 1:56 Oh. it’s wonderful. they’ve really done a lot 60 years down there. And they established, of course, the Andrew Jackson Foundation and they are constantly upgrading everything. and they are fixing to build a new $15 million center down there. So they’re on top of everything. John Haggard 2:14 Now you also have a very long background in the Gallatin area. I understand that your mother’s family has been in the area since 1780. Kenneth Thomson 2:23 80, yes. My father’s been in Davidson County the same length of time, but the Donaldson’s, of course, came down the river. And a lot of families, my mother’s family’s ancestors came with the Donaldson’s on the [inaudible], you know, to Nashville in 1780. So, one of my ancestors here was James Franklin, and his house is still standing down near Station Camp High School. And William Lee Golden lives in it, one of the Oak Ridge Boys. John Haggard 2:53 Wow. So what is the oldest picture you have by year? Kenneth Thomson 2:59 Oldest picture I have? Oh, gosh, we’re going back several hundred years. The fact that we went back to Europe, I have pictures of ancestors in Europe. But I have pictures, as far as Sumner County is concerned, I have pictures of several of my Revolutionary War ancestors. That’s pretty early. John Haggard 3:20 That is very early. And if you were going to give advice on how to preserve pictures that are that old Ken, is there a special process? Kenneth Thomson 3:30 That depends on what medium you’re talking about? Most of those pictures from that time period are either oil paintings, or silhouettes are sketches. And there’s a variety way of preserving those, you know, the portrait conservatory in Nashville can restore an old portrait for you, it needs to be realigned or cleaned or whatever, you know John Haggard 3:52 Yeah. Kenneth Thomson 3:52 And she does all the State Museum work and all the museums in the state and she’s done work for me. So she’s Excellent. John Haggard 4:01 Yeah. So let’s pick it up from 1780. Your mother’s family here in Gallatin. So walk us through the history. What’s gone on since 1780? Kenneth Thomson 4:11 Well, in the 1780s, of course, the revolutionary soldiers from North Carolina came here, the state of North Carolina couldn’t pay them with money for serving in the Revolutionary War. So they gave them land, this was a land grant area. So everybody got a land grant and the smallest amount you can get was 640 acres if you were a private, and it went up with your rank. Generals got 2,000 acres usually. That’s what brought people here, and the waterways, the Cumberland River which feeds this area, and all the tributaries. And station camp Creek has many tributaries off of it. So underground water, Gallatin is built where it is because of the everlasting spring, that’s now under the jail. That land was bought from James Trousdale because of the everlasting spring, John Haggard 4:59 And Ken, you’ve dedicated most of your life to local history. So what was it that got you interested in history when you were so young? Kenneth Thomson 5:07 I lost my mind. I lost my mind when I was about 4 1/2. John Haggard 5:09 Ha, gotcha. Kenneth Thomson 5:11 And it all started when I was four and a half. And we lived on a farm where we had a house here in town, but we also had ancestral land and my grandmother on [inaudible] Road. And this [inaudible] came one day and went to the barn. And I followed my grandmother and the man that worked for us to the barn. And this guy got out of a truck and pull the [inaudible] out of the stall. And I was standing there looking at it, I can remember it like it was yesterday. That’s the worst looking thing I ever saw in my life. And they loaded it on the truck when it came back. It was all redone and everything and I’m sitting here looking at it right now. That was in 1945. John Haggard 5:50 So as you look ahead, now, at this moment in time, what are the projects you are working on that I would say excites you the most? Kenneth Thomson 6:00 Well, probably the museum because we’ve been gifted several pieces of property and I’m working on the house that was gifted to us by John Garrett called Stonewall. And I’m completing the fourth bedroom right now. In fact, I’m going over there when I get through talking to you and painting some pictures in there, and we’ve recently been gifted a big [inaudible] bed and some other things to go in that fourth bedroom. And we’ve been working on this house for a couple of years trying to get it completely furnished. The family left just a number of pieces of furniture, but we’ve had to sort of supplement a little bit and add to it. So that is the project right now, and the project of fixing the house next door to John Garrett’s house that he came up with the money from gift donors to purchase and give it to the museum and it is called the carriage house. But on the register, it shows as a Carriage Factory. It was never a carriage factory. The carriage factory was behind that house, and that house is a big project. It’s going to cost about a million dollars to get it up to snuff and up to code. And that’s our project right now. We’re in the planning for that. So that’s the exciting thing we’re working on right now. If I live…. ha. I hope to see it processed! John Haggard 7:20 Do you mind me asking you since you are the… I would call you the Sumner County Historian. How old are you now? Kenneth Thomson 7:27 79 John Haggard 7:28 79, alright. 79! Kenneth Thomson 7:31 I was elected the Historian of Sumner County in the 70s. And then I moved to Kentucky for a while and they gave it to John Garrett. And he held that title, even though I was back here. He held it until he died two years ago. And then I was reelected by the county court. And they asked me to make a speech when they gave me the award and they made me the citizen of the year too! And I said I know why I got that award because I know the most dead people in Sumner County. John Haggard 7:59 Wow! The most dead people! So tell us about that. The most dead people, you know more dead people in Sumner County than some people know alive people, I guess. Right? Kenneth Thomson 8:09 That’s right. John Haggard 8:10 So tell us about that. Kenneth Thomson 8:12 It all started with my grandmother. And I told you about the [inaudible] when I was 13. She had all these pictures hanging on the wall. And by the way, I have 517 pictures hanging on the wall at my house. John Haggard 8:22 Wow. Kenneth Thomson 8:23 And she had all these old family pictures, portraits and smaller pictures around and I wanted to know who they were and how they were connected with me when I was 13. That’s what got me started. John Haggard 8:35 Wow, okay Kenneth Thomson 8:35 On the genealogy. John Haggard 8:37 Yeah Kenneth Thomson 8:38 Most Americans don’t know who they are. They don’t have a clue. They think they were dropped out of the sky. From their first memory. They think that’s the way the world’s always been, you know, and they don’t seem to realize that it took thousands of people to get them here. Thousands of their ancestors to make them. So you know, it’s fascinating to find out what those people contributed to your being, and your welfare. I’m amused at people who get a divorce, and one of the parents most of the time, the father’s estranged from the children, at least for a while. And they resent him and I said, Well, I’ll tell you one thing, he gave you something that nobody else could give you. And they said, “What’s that?” I said “life”. John Haggard 9:18 Yeah, yeah. Kenneth Thomson 9:20 And you’ve got to forgive. And I know one lady. In her old age, her niece told me.. she said, “my aunt will never die until she forgives her parents for having her”. And you know, she lived to 111. So she finally forgave them at 111 and went on. I can tell you a lot of stories like that. John Haggard 9:40 Wow. Yeah, that is… now if you look at your genealogy tree, yours. What year does it start? And I assume you’ve got this big chart. Kenneth Thomson 9:51 It starts with the Adam lineages. We got you going back to Adam. Now, it depends. I’m more interested in American history, and I have 100 lines personally back to the Revolutionary War. That was my goal when I started when I was 13, and I have 100 lines and I have 70… well, it’s more than that now because the DAR and SAR are letting you use females in patriotic service. But I have 70 males that served, that I have with record… in the Revolutionary War in some way, either as a soldier or a patriot (a patriotic service). I have 100 lines to the Revolutionary War because those lines go farther back. Some of them I have, and some of them I don’t have. And many of them go back to Europe. You know, it’s fascinating. John Haggard 10:42 It is fascinating Ken, and you know, every place has a history but in your opinion, what would you say sets the Gallatin, Tennessee area apart from all the other areas that have a history? Kenneth Thomson 10:53 Because I’m here! John Haggard 10:55 There you go. Kenneth Thomson 10:58 My family was here. And it means a lot to people who are here whose ancestors settled here. They are of course more interested in it than any outsider would be for the most part. But it’s just a good place to live. You know, Reader’s Digest, told us we were the friendliest cities in the United States last year. John Haggard 11:18 You know, I saw that. And that’s something. I mean, do you believe that? Kenneth Thomson 11:23 Oh, yeah, I do. And we have a lot of people.. I’m president of the Historical Society. So we have several hundred members in that. And we have members from all over the country there. And we even have people who live in California that send us a generous check every year, because they’re interested in the history of Sumner County. John Haggard 11:49 From California! Kenneth Thomson 11:49 And it’s just fascinating. For instance, we have, you know, I’m with the museum and the cemetery tour. And the cemetery tour is our biggest fundraiser… Are you familiar with that? John Haggard 12:01 Tell us about that. Kenneth Thomson 12:03 The candlelight cemetery tour. We do 10 characters at least every year, 10 stops, sometimes we have two characters at one stop. And they portray the person that’s buried there, in the first person. And we do that every year. And we have anywhere from 1000 to 1400 people that come to that in one night. It’s candlelit. And it’s just wonderful, you know, and we have some interesting people buried in the cemetery. And when I take people on private tours down there, which I do periodically, I’ll say now we have a lady buried in this cemetery that was the first lady of a foreign country and never went there. Of course, they have no idea what I’m talking about. Then a few people can answer the question, that have a little knowledge of history. When I say she was also the first lady of Tennessee… first. Then they guess. A few come along and guess. And it was Eliza Allen. She was the first wife of Sam Houston. John Haggard 12:55 Okay. Kenneth Thomson 12:56 And she married him, you know, briefly and he was forced to leave the state under the cloak of darkness and woman’s clothes and get on a steamboat. And Eliza’s brother met him at the wharf because he had mistreated her. They met him at the wharf at Clarksville and threatened him if he ever said anything against her. Of course, he never did. But they were married for eight years, even though they were separated after two or three weeks. John Haggard 13:20 Wow. Kenneth Thomson 13:21 And he became president of the Republic of Texas. So that made her First Lady of the Republic of Texas, even though she wasn’t there. John Haggard 13:28 Yeah. Kenneth Thomson 13:29 So then he got a divorce because he fell in love with a Second Life. And the second wife, Margaret was the first lady of the Republic of Texas. And then when the republic became a state, Texas, he became governor and his second wife became the first lady of Texas. So the first and second wives had the same titles, but they were reversed order. Ha. John Haggard 13:48 Yes. Ha! If you can follow all that. Yes, yes. Hey, I also heard that Sumner County from 1800 to 1845 was designated the horse racing capital of the United States. Is that right? Kenneth Thomson 14:04 Tennessee was the first because Sumner County was first. Kentucky was number two. From 1800 to 1845. And racehorses were brought here in 1800 and the first ones brought to Sumner County by Dr. Redmond Dillon Barry, who lived on Nashville Pike. And he brought Bluegrass. And he was an Irishman, a doctor and a lawyer and was colleagues with General Packingham who was involved in the Battle of New Orleans. For England. He was on the English side, the Brittish side. But he brought the Racehorses here 1800 and they first stabled them at Rivergate. [inaudible], where the Donaldson’s lived. he’s stabled those horses down there. Gray Medley was his number one horse. And then he brought bluegrass in because bluegrass grows well here and as well as in Kentucky, because of the limestone soil. [inaudible], and there were several racehorse tracks here in Sumner County, mostly in the Gallatin area. And everybody that was anybody had racehorses here, and Andrew Jackson, of course, came to all of those races. And all the primary figures of that day had horses. Even a preacher had a horse. A Methodist preacher… his wife was against him racing that horse… And he said, well he couldn’t help it because he co-owned it with somebody else… and the other person owned the front end of the horse, and he owned the backend of the horse, and he couldn’t keep his end from running the race! Ha. That was [inaudible] by the way. John Haggard 15:11 Ha, that’s pretty good. You know, as you look now at the next generation, or the upcoming generation, or maybe going back two generations, perhaps to the millennials, as they’re known today. It seems to be more difficult getting younger people interested in history. What do you think could be done to continue that legacy? Kenneth Thomson 15:55 Well, the museum is planning, in this new building we’re going to rehab, doing rotating displays and having a lot of hands-on entertainment, crafts and things like that. And that’s how you get them interested is to show them how things were done and let them be part of it and let them handle even historic items. That works. Groups like to do things like that. John Haggard 16:18 You touched on some of the annual events like the cemetery tour and things that you do if you were just going to say you know, if you’ve never been to Sumner County, here are four or five really big events that you ought to attend. Kenneth Thomson 16:32 Each house has a list of things that they do. A lot of military enactments. And Rosemont, and Bledsoe Park, and Wynnewood particularly have loads of events… and kids like those. The cavalry coming in on horses, they have revolutionary soldiers there. They have Civil War soldiers. You can get the list from tourism or from those houses. And we have a good director at Rosemont, he’s retired military, and he has a list of activities going on through most of next year already. John Haggard 17:06 And so when you are not as officially the Summer County Historian, on your time off, if there is any, what are you passionate about outside of history? Kenneth Thomson 17:17 The Sumner County Archives, and everybody who’s had any association with Sumner County, the legacy, part of the legacy, all of that legacy is housed in the Sumner County Museum. And that’s where you go to find out who you are. And some people don’t know who they are. I was there one day. I was volunteering there some, and a gentlemen came in. He said I know everything about my father’s family. I want to find out about my mother’s family. I said, Well, who was your mother? Well, he couldn’t even tell me her maiden name. I said, you go home and find out who you are and come back. Most people can’t tell you about their grandparents. Their grandmother’s maiden names. And it was said when I was growing up, nobody could tell you who their great grandparents were unless they knew them. Unless they were living in your lifetime. I can tell you who my 4th, 5th and 6th great great grandparents all are. John Haggard 18:05 Wow. That’s good! Kenneth Thomson 18:07 When they were born and when they died. I’ve got their pictures, ha. John Haggard 18:12 Well, Ken, how would, if someone wanted to get in touch with you, they said… Wow, what a podcast I’m a history buff, and I want to talk to him about something he knows or might know that I want to know or something. How can people get in touch with you? Kenneth Thomson 18:26 They can send me an email. rhinescottage@gmail.com John Haggard 18:34 All right, one more time on that. Kenneth Thomson 18:39 rhinescottage@gmail.com John Haggard 18:44 Alright. Is there anything I did not ask you about Ken that you would want people to know about history in general or anything in Sumner County or anything that you’re doing. Kenneth Thomson 18:54 If you study your family history, you’re going to learn a lot, and many adopted people come here that were adopted years ago to find their birth parents. And I’ve helped them in several instances. They want to know about the health problems in that family particularly, and so many things… traits are inherited, you know, weaknesses. And you need to know those things. And of course, I can tell you about my great grandparents. What was wrong with them, what they had. Most people can’t do that. Some doctors will ask you about your grandparents, you know, how they died, or what kind of diseases they had, and so forth. But a lot of these things, inherited social potency, traditionalism, nervousness and [inaudible]. Those things are inherited. And environmental things like aggression, you acquire. And when I was growing up, they tried to teach us that the environment was more important than heredity. That’s not so, You get more heredity than you do from environment. So, in my opinion, and I’ve been here for 79 years. Ha! John Haggard 20:12 Yeah. And so let me ask you a question you see occasionally on television, these offers for DNA. Kenneth Thomson 20:21 That’s wonderful. It’s wonderful. It’s good, they have many different ones available. And it has brought a lot of people together. It’s a great thing. I would advise everybody to do it. John Haggard 20:31 Wow. What an interesting discussion, folks, Kenneth Thompson, we call him the summer county historian. And indeed he is, as you can tell, by this particular podcast. You know how to get ahold of Kenneth as well. We call him Ken or Kenneth, he goes by either one, right? Kenneth Thomson 20:45 That’s right. John Haggard 20:46 Okay folks, don’t forget to like, share, subscribe on iTunes, Google Play, or Spotify. And while you’re at it, leave us a review if you will. I’m your host, John Haggard, and we will see you next time.
