This is kinda, I think of it today, and my wife says oh you're not really expecting me to believe this, but I remember at a particular time the older members were together and I was with them. And Reuther supposedly was coming to Flint and you probably remember seeing some of these old movies. Where these fellows carry violins and they weren't musicians.
