AS: Yeah, I have four children.

RP: Your, your brothers and...

AS: Oh, my... yeah, I'm the third. I have two older sisters. One is still living in the Keiro nursing home. And then Frances, my oldest sister, she passed away. She was a schoolteacher. She was like that, achieve, she was into everything. She helped a lot. She graduated UCLA, and Mary went to UCLA, too, and I think she, she was a med tech, but she liked that kind of stuff. And then I and then Jack, that, he was the baby of the family. [Laughs] So our family, we... they stressed, even Depression, how we had so many depressions and it was really... my sister, how many times she said, no, she would quit school and work, but no, my father... no, didn't want any of us to quit school or nothing.
