Ralph, why don't you say a couple of words about these two outstanding business leaders and your experience with them? Well, they're a good example of where entrepreneurs come from. I mean, not that long ago, Scott was in the Marine Corps getting shot up, and Harsha was in his basement in Lexington founding a company with just himself. And I think around universities, we get good things happening. And in Kentucky, the separating service people are a kind of rich field that entrepreneurship happens in. And we run courses in Fort Knox, Fort Campbell for separating service people. In Lexington, we've got some terrific banks. They send deals in to us to guarantee. We do about 100 deals a year in Fayette County for SBA lending. And it's growing. This is one of the spots of the state that's up about probably 10%, 12% so far this fiscal year. but it's a great town that hits on all cylinders there. Why don't you say that up close to the microphone? Okay, sorry. It's a great town, but I just feel like between the bankers, the small business development centers, the university, the chamber, you're just hitting on all cylinders. I mean, you get the smaller entrepreneurs out of their basements and hiring 30 people, and it just doesn't take that long. That's great. appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, now I'm going to ask Shannon Baker to please join me at the podium here. Is Shannon here? Yes, Shannon is here. Shannon is AmeriCorps VISTA leader for the Plantry Vista Network.
