Friends and family members that were there with us doing this because based on what ive read, human memory is pretty fallible. Eyewitness testimony for example, is notoriously sketchy. Rather than assuming that they have a perfect memory of the past decade, i went out and if you could of the people who were there to get their perception of what happened and check it against my own. And tried to use so the combination of my own members, things i wrote at the time, and interviews of other people to make sure i had as accurate a picture as possible. Thank you. Welcome back. I had a question to if you could maybe contrast your experience with bryant.
