And I think the board, it would be doing a massive disservice to the people of western Alaska where, you know, this is— life is different out there. And I think the board needs to go and experience that. You know, in my time on this board, we've gone to a lot of coastal communities where the hub is, you know, there's a large sport fishing hub, you know, tourism base, commercial fishing base. It's different out in western Alaska, and I think the board would be doing a disservice to the public and to itself by not, by not going out there. So I fully support Dillingham.
