chris's, which was very well done. i appreciate that. and then finally, i think an excellent question here from charlene phillips. what's the best for a casual history leaver to get a balance perspective on historic figures and events? i'm a real big believer. the power of place. go to the places where history happened. walk in the footsteps where history took place. experience those places for yourselves and allow that connection as a doorway into the story in. ways that are relevant to you. read primary sources. read secondary sources from a bunch of different people so you can get a bunch of different opinions and come to your own conclusions. you can listen to talking heads like me and frank all you want. we've got plenty of opinions, but it's best to come up with for yourself through your own experience, enjoying history in ways are important to you, frank and any final word you'd add to that? yeah. it goes to the old adage that the best to understand a person and any people who have any different backgrounds, different circumstance is they might be coming from different places. and this is especially the ca
