Absolutely. I was a pretty young man, I think I was 11 or 12 when she first opened and just the change in Raymore has been outrageous. It was just a little farming town, not a lot of people, just seeing what it's growing into now is pretty incredible. The people, the new businesses and all that. A lot of change, a lot of good, a lot of bad, but over the years, just the people, the friendships we've made, that the people that come in are regulars and we get a lot of new people so we can make some new contacts and new friends and whatnot so that's probably been the best part about all these years.

Dan Edson:
You have your loyal customers and then you probably have their kids and generations of customers coming in now since you've been here for so long.
