Well, I was actually born in a hospital, which, funny, was torn down before the election. Somebody of little faith put an office building up there. Now they wish they didn't. But that's where I lived. And my mother, of course, was widowed by then, so my grandparents lived in that house. And my grandmother was a private-duty nurse. She lived down the block, and my granddaddy had a little country store out across from the other cemetery where Mack's father and my father are buried. It's parallel to the road we're taking now. I think Mack went over there today--and where my grandparents are buried. But anyway, my granddaddy had a store out there, and my grandmother walked down the street to work every day. And Mother and I lived there. And then when I was 2, she went away to get her nurse's training finished. But Vince Foster's house was around the corner. It was that sort of nice brick house around the corner. I don't know if you noticed, but it had two-tone brick. It's kind of ugly now, but when he lived there they painted it white and it was perfectly beautiful. And for some reason--I never have understood why they took the white paint off, because it's not near as pretty now. But anyway, that's where Vince lived, around the corner.
