Oh, there is no question about it. In fact, I have experienced it. Look, I have been a community pharmacist, as I said earlier, for 34 years. I have been in business for myself for almost 28 years now. I live near where my pharmacy is. I live less than 5 miles away from it. I am a member of that community. I was the mayor of that community for 9 years. For 9 years, I was mayor. I served in the State legislature. I represent them now in Congress, and I have gotten calls in the middle of the night. What is interesting and what has been very rewarding for me professionally is when I ran for office and when I would be knocking on doors, and I would introduce myself. ``I know you. I know you. You helped my mother when she was under hospice care. You got up and went to the store and met me there one night and got her medication.'' Now, let me tell you that that makes you feel good.
