I am proud that the gentleman is a Member of my class. I am proud he is a Member of this 108th Congress with me. And I am also proud that, as I take a little bit of pride in myself, in coming to this Chamber the gentleman has some real-world experience. I had some experience running businesses before, a family dairy farm, and later on a community bank. And as a community banker, I came in contact with a great number of individuals with a whole lot of different experience.
