I got this box... I opened it up and it's about this high and this long and it's a wooden model of model T car... has a little plaque on it, and the letter that came with it was really amazing. It came from Louisiana. We helped somebody down there who ... because of Katrina and this is how it went. She said, we're sending you this model car, it is not made from a kit, not one bit of it. However we did buy the wheels at such and such a place. She said, my husband made it for his father and is an exact replica of the first car his father ever rode in. It didn't belong to his father, it belonged the uncle and so this you know, complete genealogy of this car and then she said, we decided as a family that we wanted to give you something that meant something to us you know. What can you say? So I'm very proud of that and it's in my living room and I point it out to everyone who comes. So once again the rewards are incredible and I'll say... and you know why you're alive then, you know why you live you know, and then... I always feel ... I felt from the very beginning of when they'd put up a tombstone, if it can't say he or she made a difference, why are we here. I mean just about anybody can procreate but if you actually made a difference, I think that's the greatest reward and the best testimony to your life.
