SS: Your family, tell me a little bit about the kids.

EW: They're wonderful, they're beautiful. We're just proud of them. We're thankful that we have such, of our children, our own children are so, such good parents, and their children, they're bringing them up right.

SS: Do you think your experiences -- the hardship that you endured as a child, the months at camp, being a single parent -- do you think that made you a better person or a better parent perhaps?

EW: Probably. Probably. We had to be tough, and we went through a lot. I can appreciate freedom. I don't think unless you have been under, lived under those conditions, you don't have an appreciation of freedom; being able to walk down the street, drive anywhere you want, go into a restaurant to eat, all of those things. So we shouldn't take our freedom lightly.
