Welcome to the Providence College podcast. I'm your host, Stasia Wamsley. As Mother's Day approaches and in recognition of the college's celebration of Ben now next. 50 years of women at PC, we are excited to welcome a mother daughter alumni Perez our guests today. Marian, not a member of class of 1976 and Maurice Garbo is here as a member of the class of 2011.

00;00;26;29 - 00;00;29;17
Stasia Walmsley
So Marianne Moore I thank you so much for joining us.

00;00;29;21 - 00;00;31;29
Maryanne Knott ’76
Thank you Stasia. Very nice to be here.

00;00;32;06 - 00;00;32;28
Maura Scarboro ’11
Thanks for having us.

00;00;33;27 - 00;01;01;03
Stasia Walmsley
So at PC we talk a lot about Fryer family but for the two of you the connection to Providence College is really a family affair. So I'm wondering, Marianne, starting off with you, you know, I know your father was an alum and so I'm wondering what are some of your earliest member memories about his maybe discussing and talking about his alma mater or, you know, how early in life were you introduced to to PC?

00;01;01;17 - 00;01;30;09
Maryanne Knott ’76
So I actually don't remember a time when I didn't know about P.C. My dad was a very proud alumni, and he would watch the PC games and cheer for them. We all knew I'm the oldest of seven. We all knew that you know, let's go Friar Cheer. And he was very proud of his connection to PC and really felt that he owed everything he achieved in his life to to PC.

00;01;31;01 - 00;01;56;09
Maryanne Knott ’76
He had gone there from from the Navy. And so he really felt it. It changed his his life. So PC. But I always knew it was an all male school until I was in high school. And then they sent out and pulled the alumni and asked them what about, you know, making this coed? And my dad is the father of six daughters, immediately said yes and sent it in.

00;01;56;09 - 00;02;06;07
Maryanne Knott ’76
And then as soon as as it became coed, he took me down there to look at the school. And then I just fell in love with it on the spot. And that was it.

00;02;07;03 - 00;02;10;04
Stasia Walmsley
Any of your sisters or your brother go to pick.

00;02;10;20 - 00;02;14;04
Maryanne Knott ’76
My brother and all but one of my sisters?

00;02;14;27 - 00;02;15;06
Stasia Walmsley
Yes.

00;02;15;15 - 00;02;29;17
Maryanne Knott ’76
The last one went so six out of the seven of us went. The last one went to Holy Cross, but we got her her turned around because her two daughters are going to be friars so that's awesome.

00;02;30;12 - 00;02;50;27
Stasia Walmsley
And so more. I'm wondering if you remember early on, especially with aunts and your uncle and your granddad, you know, thinking about Providence College, did you know that this is something you were interested in going there or did you have a moment of thinking you might rebel and kind of break the chain?

00;02;51;18 - 00;03;14;07
Maura Scarboro ’11
It's funny you say that. I definitely had a rebel spirit that was always my persona. So I was adamantly convinced it would not be the right fit for me until I went and saw the campus, saw other campuses to compare it. And I just knew that that was the place I belonged, that it just fit what I pictured in my mind.

00;03;14;28 - 00;03;30;10
Maura Scarboro ’11
And I tell the same to anybody going to look at any campus. Can you picture yourself there? Because that's what really turned it around for me. I could picture myself there and happily remained on campus for four years and didn't want to be anywhere else.

00;03;31;07 - 00;03;39;01
Stasia Walmsley
So what did PC do to meet your expectations more often? What are some of the things you did to get involved either academically or outside the classroom?

00;03;40;12 - 00;04;03;15
Maura Scarboro ’11
For me, the feel of the campus where I had a lot of options for classes, extracurriculars, but the campus itself was it overwhelming where I could navigate it within a day. I had friends at a school that the joke would be By the end of your four years, you hoped to reach four points of the campus, and I couldn't imagine that I wanted more of a family feeling.

00;04;04;17 - 00;04;34;06
Maura Scarboro ’11
So I was really excited to have that at PC. And in terms of the classes, I had ideas. I was actually in high school. I wanted to be a wedding planner. That was what I thought. I wanted to be applied for business majors to go that way. And when I returned my acceptance, I switched because my heart was starting to really link up with psychology and that that really fit for a long time.

00;04;34;06 - 00;04;58;17
Maura Scarboro ’11
The message in my heart, if I wanted to help others. So I switched gears and there was a lot of options at P.S., you know, with that I was leaning towards psychology. I thought it fit my interest. But beyond that, there were other degree programs, too. So I just knew, although I was totally changing my plan at the last minute, that it would all be fine because I get to try out things and I did.

00;04;58;17 - 00;05;04;08
Maura Scarboro ’11
So I did a lot of courses with my electives to try out other departments as well.

00;05;04;26 - 00;05;31;04
Stasia Walmsley
Well, and I think that that's an experience that's really common. And we especially with a place like PC where there are a lot of options and somebody might take classes really at the beginning and save and decide, Oh boy, there's, there's something here for me that I didn't I didn't even expect. How was it for you, Maryann, when when Moore decided she was changing her major and all that, how did you how were you feeling about all that?

00;05;31;04 - 00;05;33;03
Stasia Walmsley
I know that sometimes can be tricky for a parent.

00;05;33;21 - 00;05;55;04
Maryanne Knott ’76
Well, I just I mean, I supported her when she thought she wanted to be a wedding planner, but I thought that there was a lot more that she could have done because she always had this idea that she wanted to help people. And helping as a wedding planner is great for helping them for one day. I thought it would be nicer if she could be helping them for their life.

00;05;56;12 - 00;06;10;24
Maryanne Knott ’76
So I was really happy when she was going to go there, but I had to you know, she's mentioned she had a rebellious spirit. I had to make sure that I didn't push it too hard because then she would go, who knows where?

00;06;12;09 - 00;06;27;10
Stasia Walmsley
And I'm wondering if you could tell me a little bit, you know, Mary and watching your daughter experience PC, what were some of the things that maybe were a little different about your experience compared to more as well?

00;06;27;10 - 00;06;58;18
Maryanne Knott ’76
I could say one of the big things I was quite jealous of was the way that the food halls were set up in in Reno, we used to have one meal choice and a can of peanut butter at the end if you didn't want that. So I was a little bit jealous about that. But also the way the living accommodations were, how they put the apartments on campus and also the expansion of the campus with the new buildings and how unified the campus looked and just all of those different things.

00;06;58;29 - 00;07;29;08
Maryanne Knott ’76
I would say that the academics probably were as still as strong as they were when when I was there, which I think is is a really good selling point. And also the same with the liberal arts. My degree is bachelors Science and Business Administration, but still went through the Western Civ program and some of the other electives that rounded out the liberal arts education so I thought those were were good things to see her experiencing as well.

00;07;29;15 - 00;07;56;08
Stasia Walmsley
Yeah. So you both took both took different paths but found success in the, in and what you ended up doing. I, I wanted to ask Marion, I know that you continued to stay involved with the business school or what is now called, you know, Providence College, the school of business, where and my understanding is you're going to be taking over the leadership position for the Business Advisory Council.

00;07;56;12 - 00;08;06;23
Stasia Walmsley
Can you tell me a little bit about that experience being in continuing to be involved and now having this opportunity to help lead and form from what PCC has now become?

00;08;07;18 - 00;08;34;07
Maryanne Knott ’76
Sure. So when I was there, I was in the second class of girls, and so accounting at that time was still a man's occupation, but so we were a handful of female accounting majors at that point in time. And then I started being asked back, I had worked at Deloitte and I was asked back to Korea first and also to speak to the accounting class.

00;08;34;07 - 00;09;00;14
Maryanne Knott ’76
They have introduction to the professional class and I was honored to be asked to come down and speak and one of the things that struck me at that point in turn time was about the fact that the classes were now split about 5050. Bill said female. So where I would have looked out at, you know, 60 or 70 students and seen maybe four or five females now it was, it was 5050.

00;09;00;14 - 00;09;28;27
Maryanne Knott ’76
So it really was different. And then I was asked back each year and I really liked the accounting professors and then I was introduced to Sylvia and I just think she's wonderful and believe in everything that, that she's trying to do for the business school. And so I wanted to get involved with that and I have been involved in it and have seen what a great school it is.

00;09;28;27 - 00;09;48;06
Maryanne Knott ’76
And I know I'm a little biased but what a great school it has become. The students have gotten a chance to meet some of them, and they are so impressive when they give their presentations and and even just meeting them, it's it's very proud moment for me to be involved with that school.

00;09;49;07 - 00;10;11;13
Stasia Walmsley
I definitely hear that from a lot of our alumni who come back and who are involved in one way or another that that really seeing the experience of the current students are is what makes it all worthwhile. It's it's fun to come back and connect with friends and come back and connect with the campus. But then learning a little bit about the student experience today, is very exciting.

00;10;11;29 - 00;10;40;18
Stasia Walmsley
So right now we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of of women at Providence College. And we've been doing that all year long. Bringing in guest speakers and just looking for ways to really empower our current students, our alumni, and tell the stories that maybe wouldn't have been told otherwise. So I was just wondering, you know, Maura, your mom was in the second class of women at Providence College.

00;10;40;18 - 00;10;57;22
Stasia Walmsley
And I'm just curious if you have ever kind of talked about what her experience might have been like different than yours in terms of your experience maybe as a woman or as a student and at a very different time in the college's history.

00;11;00;04 - 00;11;21;27
Maura Scarboro ’11
She definitely brought up the cafeteria quite a few times and would then tell her siblings to say, can you believe it? Because the first grandchildren to go to P.S. was my cousin and myself, and we were the same year. So for them to experience that next generation going in, it was for the first time at the same time for everyone.

00;11;21;27 - 00;11;48;12
Maura Scarboro ’11
So we'd come back during Thanksgiving and things like that and be talking about how certain dorms were once upon a time male, only now they were female only or they were split and which dorm was my grandfather in. So we would have those discussions as a family so she definitely mentioned that a few times. So I was very grateful for all the options and the different parts of the campus, the new buildings that had happened as well.

00;11;49;05 - 00;12;17;02
Maura Scarboro ’11
For me in the psychology degree program, most of those classes tend to be more females in the classes but the profession itself isn't necessarily isolated to that. But at the undergrad level, it it tends to be kind of leaning one way. And then there's there's all different levels of the psychology, you know, with master's and doctorate and things like that, where it all expands out.

00;12;17;02 - 00;12;37;27
Maura Scarboro ’11
So it was definitely a different for me, not necessarily being in a male dominated field per se. So that experience and I know when my mom was going to school, she would tell me about stories from then that there was sometimes comments to her like, that's supposed to be good at this here. You're not supposed to be doing better.

00;12;38;04 - 00;13;04;02
Maura Scarboro ’11
Than us or things like that. So that was definitely a different experience from when I was there because I really didn't find any that any way male or anything like that competitive piece. So that was definitely a different world to think of. How and her time she was the second class, so she entered and there was only one other grade above her that had women.

00;13;04;02 - 00;13;19;05
Maura Scarboro ’11
So there was still two whole grades that were still male only just by the starting point. So that's just wild to think of. When I look out across campus, how it would have been a different experience there.

00;13;19;05 - 00;13;40;23
Stasia Walmsley
So and with that, with that first graduating class, it has been predominantly it's been more than 50% women since then for with graduating classes and continues to be that way more. Tell me a little bit about how the psychology program at PC became a jumping off point to where you went with your career.

00;13;41;24 - 00;14;11;16
Maura Scarboro ’11
So the psychology field I mentioned how it was interesting to me and I started to get more into that. I think that's also what helped me dissect my own rebellious spirit and just really that curiosity. It was really fueled by all the options within the psychology degree program. There was some specialties, so I perceived it and I know we did some testing to compare on other programs.

00;14;11;16 - 00;14;32;22
Maura Scarboro ’11
I perceived it a very strong psychology department that I got a lot of different perspectives. I heard about a lot of different psychologist ways to approach it, things like that. So I got to, as I went on and on, my years really narrowed down what I was interested in. And then from there I went right into a master's program.

00;14;33;13 - 00;15;02;20
Maura Scarboro ’11
And so I'm now I'm a board certified behavior analyst and a licensed mental health counselor. So I still couldn't make up my mind on one. I decided to double down and do two things which are two competing sciences in some regard and just bring them together. So I in the behavior analyst for a public school. So and I one of the reasons why I'm special and my district wanted to work with me was that I have the mental health side.

00;15;02;29 - 00;15;28;03
Maura Scarboro ’11
I have that background from psychology and can really hone in on, you know, mental health and behavior. There's a big fusion between the two so I support all the district kids, all the pre-K through 12th grade and and, you know, providing consultation to any teacher or anything like that with my big thing is for kids to be understood there.

00;15;28;03 - 00;15;59;26
Maura Scarboro ’11
There's definitely some people that learn differently and they might be misunderstood or I believe a lot of the adults in their world, if only they knew they're looking to how to understand they want someone to unlock that with that experience, observe and say, OK, here's some more information. So definitely starting from high school where my interest was piqued in those classes and jumping right in at PC and going forward, that was really fueled by all the options.

00;15;59;26 - 00;16;22;26
Maura Scarboro ’11
And I actually really zoned in on the brain at PC was my interest. And I had great professors there. Dr. Gilbert was great with really honing in on that interest, and I loved diagnoses and all those things. So it just made sense that I ended up with my two certifications that I did, and I'm excited to help others with it.

00;16;22;26 - 00;16;27;21
Maura Scarboro ’11
So every day is a new day that's great.

00;16;27;21 - 00;16;57;14
Stasia Walmsley
So yeah, it sounds like you were able to accomplish that goal of of getting to something where you were helping others and you mentioned Dr. Gilman. I'm wondering, Marianne, if if there is somebody that on the staff, on the faculty that really helped you while you were in the accounting program, you know, mentioning again that it was early on in when when women were actually taking these accounting classes and definitely.

00;16;57;21 - 00;16;59;22
Stasia Walmsley
So the minority in those classes.

00;17;00;12 - 00;17;27;20
Maryanne Knott ’76
Yes. So for in accounting, what's the nicest people you would ever meet? And I know who you recently passed away was Gus go to Cody. And and he was very, very welcoming and actually being in there, like I said, there was a handful of women, but it didn't really occur to me that I was doing anything different because they were so welcoming and they made it seem like it was was normal.

00;17;27;20 - 00;17;56;12
Maryanne Knott ’76
Some of the students, as Morris said, would tease me and say I shouldn't be getting such good grades. But anyway, they he was he was very good. And it was until after I left. P.S. And actually entered into public accounting that I realized that it was, it was something different because you'd go to a firm and I'd be like the second woman that you ever hired and or the third one or, you know, very early on like that.

00;17;56;12 - 00;18;03;11
Maryanne Knott ’76
And that's when it struck me that it had been different. But I wasn't made to feel different when I was at P.S..

00;18;03;28 - 00;18;36;25
Stasia Walmsley
So I wanted to turn back to talking a little bit about the family connections that you both have, even beyond just the two of you as mom and daughter legacy at PC, I understand, Miriam, there's a scholarship in your father's name and more in your grandfather's name, and it has a specific connection to the Academic Services Department. I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about what inspired that scholarship?

00;18;37;04 - 00;19;07;24
Maryanne Knott ’76
So having the scholarship at all was was a way to honor my dad. As I said, he was a very proud alumni. Excuse me. And so we wanted to to honor him. And I had been speaking with people in the development office about doing something like that and then spoke to my siblings and also Maura and other family members about possibly how would we differentiate the scholarship from other ones?

00;19;08;13 - 00;19;14;02
Maryanne Knott ’76
I mean, I think Maura can give a little more insight into that, why we picked academics versus.

00;19;14;27 - 00;19;48;08
Maura Scarboro ’11
So academic services. Some people might not even know it exists on campus, but for those who need it, it's a godsend and it levels the playing field to be able to get the awesomeness out of PC. So for those that learn differently including myself, you access academic services and there are people there that are supporting you. And one of the for me was Jen Rivera, and she just has helped countless students.

00;19;48;08 - 00;20;08;23
Maura Scarboro ’11
I even sent a family friend her direction when I was graduated and I would get notes and letters from that family saying that the only reason it was possible for their son to go to PC, which was his dream, was because of her. So it's just such a powerful thing. And like I said, if you don't know about it, you don't need it.

00;20;08;23 - 00;20;39;29
Maura Scarboro ’11
You may not even know it exists. And it's important for those to support those that learn differently. And as I mentioned, that's what I do professionally every day as well. So I was grateful that my family, you know, they wanted to do something in my grandfather's honor. But in terms of how to differentiate it, they were open to my suggestions and thinking of that, that could be really powerful for someone who needed that support.

00;20;40;14 - 00;20;54;28
Stasia Walmsley
What a wonderful combination of family interests and efforts to make that happen. You said that you learned you have a different way of learning. Are you comfortable sharing what that what that might be about?

00;20;55;25 - 00;21;20;03
Maura Scarboro ’11
Yeah, sure. So I have ADHD and I also have like a processing speed like piece to it. So when it came to reading, for example, like CIB courses, there's a lot of reading that's really dense. But in terms of understanding the concepts spoken out loud and giving it back to you, I excel. So it's, it's a differentiated there.

00;21;20;03 - 00;21;52;26
Maura Scarboro ’11
So those supports exist to help you out. And I actually was on some disability panels too with a number of people representing different disabilities to talk about what that looks like. What that experience is like. Those were for students that were becoming special education teacher as a PC. So we really got interconnected, which was great. But yeah, so for myself, you know, looking at my performance when I say level the playing field, I'm a very high performer, but the way I do it might be differently.

00;21;53;01 - 00;22;25;11
Maura Scarboro ’11
So to unlock that access might be in a different way. And then once they do that, probably going to do better than you. I say that as a tool, but it's hard for people to understand if they are not familiar with it. But in terms of, you know, academic services, Jen Rivera though, you know, the people there, they get it and they absolutely support you in advocating for yourself and also normalizing because you have to produce a letter to each professor to say that you have this difference.

00;22;25;11 - 00;22;45;21
Maura Scarboro ’11
You don't just say what the differences, but you have to say your accommodations. And that can be a nerve wracking moment of here I go again and I have to out myself. But they were just so great and they would do the advocacy work for you, submit that letter. But if there was any questions, they're the ones taking care of it.

00;22;45;21 - 00;23;06;22
Maura Scarboro ’11
They're the ones, you know, working out any of those barriers for you. And I actually taking notes was not one of my difficulties. So I ended up being a note taker for other people there. I never know who receiving my notes because it's confidential, but I know I take my notes, I go and copy them on the due date and things like that.

00;23;06;22 - 00;23;30;06
Maura Scarboro ’11
So it's funny how that all comes full circle, how mine looks different, but someone else is helping me like the audio books were helping me. So yeah, it's a it's a really special place I know some students might have gone there for maybe writing support to if someone read their essay, things like that. But there's so much there and it depends on what you need.

00;23;30;06 - 00;24;04;27
Maura Scarboro ’11
And so, yeah, it's, it's really, it's really awesome. And I'm so glad that we got to differentiate it for that because it was special to me. I know it is special to a lot of people, even more than me, you know, I know that there's people that have got a lot more support than I did. So I just, you know, I'm so excited to give back to that place, those students that learn differently and everyone chips away and gets more understood and gets to level the playing field and get everything they can out of DC.

00;24;05;07 - 00;24;36;01
Stasia Walmsley
Well, what a cool experience to understand how the how academic services was able to support your learning experience and to be able to then participate in providing that for somebody else. What a great experience that must have been. And I do know that this is an area, and I'm sure you're aware that is in higher ed is more and more staff are needed, more and more support services are needed as the challenging academics are moving through.

00;24;36;01 - 00;25;24;11
Stasia Walmsley
And obviously in the most recent couple of years with with the pandemic and different type of learning modalities that were introduced then some new ways of some maybe some new struggles for students came to light that weren't there before. So it's it's certainly an area of importance here. So the fact that there's a scholarship in that area, I know the college is very grateful for it and what a wonderful story that is that it's connected back to to the family right before we jumped on the podcast, Marianne, you were telling me that that in addition to you and more within the family, you have you a number 14 of the family number 14 is coming

00;25;24;11 - 00;25;26;24
Stasia Walmsley
into Providence College this fall. Is that what you said?

00;25;27;23 - 00;25;29;20
Maryanne Knott ’76
That's correct. Number 14.

00;25;29;26 - 00;25;30;12
Stasia Walmsley
Amazing.

00;25;31;07 - 00;25;36;27
Maryanne Knott ’76
My youngest niece will be the number 14 to go into go to and so.

00;25;36;27 - 00;25;46;29
Stasia Walmsley
She'll be class of 20, 26. So what is the is your father the first member of the family that would have graduated. So is that the span. Yes.

00;25;46;29 - 00;25;48;13
Maryanne Knott ’76
So he was 51.

00;25;48;28 - 00;25;49;16
Stasia Walmsley
Excellent.

00;25;49;23 - 00;25;53;23
Maryanne Knott ’76
Yes. So from 51 to 20. 26. Yeah.

00;25;53;26 - 00;25;57;07
Stasia Walmsley
That's the class that's coming in. Yeah. That's, that's exciting.

00;25;57;09 - 00;26;18;22
Maryanne Knott ’76
From 1972 through 1986 there was at least one Darity if not multiple diabetes on the PC campus. My, the last sister that went there graduated in 86. So that's the, you know, 14 year time span where there was always at least one of us there.

And it sounded like there was some overlap too with some cousins.

00;26;23;13 - 00;26;45;28
Maryanne Knott ’76
Oh yes there was, there was overlap so I was there and my sister was two years behind me then my brother was two years behind her and then you know on down the road at one time there was three were there at the same time. That was the most and but most of the time there were two and more.

00;26;46;01 - 00;26;47;27
Stasia Walmsley
You and your cousin were there at the same time.

00;26;49;05 - 00;27;01;11
Maura Scarboro ’11
Yeah. So my cousin and I were at the same year. And then I also we have another cousin who was two years behind us. So at one point there was three of us on the campus at the same time.

00;27;01;21 - 00;27;08;14
Stasia Walmsley
It must have made for some fun family weekend and maybe hockey games together and things like that.

00;27;09;24 - 00;27;42;14
Maura Scarboro ’11
One thing I want to take one friends that Fryer spirit piece that our family does, for example, that cousin, one of my cousins just was married this summer and we do it at every wedding is we gather at a Providence College banner and we have the deejay announce Providence College photo is going to happen. And they say the meeting spot and we all get out there and anyone that went to Providence College comes out for the group photo the photographer takes it.

00;27;42;21 - 00;28;03;02
Maura Scarboro ’11
It's also fun to see there's always a few like guests in the mix as well that went to see as well. So we usually get this huge crowd in front of this flag and it's also kind of fun because sometimes I hear other people when it's happening going, Oh, well, what about this school? What about that school now?

00;28;03;06 - 00;28;24;00
Maura Scarboro ’11
Sorry, they're not getting a photo. It's only this one. So that's a fun tradition we have and we know it's coming. Every wedding pretty much so we'll even be talking about it during the ceremony. Hey, do we know when the picture is going to happen? I'm sure they'll announce it. So that's a fun thing we do.

00;28;24;06 - 00;28;49;12
Stasia Walmsley
That's so great. I'm wondering, I have a question that I know many of us had a wonderful spring rooting on the Friars and very excited about how the basketball team, how the basketball team did. And I'm wondering if that is part of your connection to the college as well and that if your family gets together and watches the games and what that kind of family Friar spirit is like.

00;28;49;19 - 00;29;10;05
Maryanne Knott ’76
Well, we haven't gotten together and watched the games, but there's always texts going around about supporting the team. And actually that my family has gotten in quite a bit to the hockey as well. A big big hockey fan. So we're very interested in the the PC hockey and going to the different games.

00;29;10;18 - 00;29;17;05
Stasia Walmsley
And having won a national championship within the last few years. And that was quite an exciting moment for sure.

00;29;17;25 - 00;29;19;13
Maryanne Knott ’76
That was an exciting moment.

00;29;20;27 - 00;29;40;04
Stasia Walmsley
So I just had one last question for the both of you. And again, right before we started, I heard that there that you have a new maybe a future fryer in the in the family, Maura, that you have a one year old. But I'm curious, what are what are you all doing for Mother's Day?

00;29;41;00 - 00;29;51;16
Maura Scarboro ’11
Oh, that's a great question. I'm guess I'm not used to it applies to me as well of Mom, what are we doing.

00;29;53;11 - 00;30;19;27
Maryanne Knott ’76
You know, that's a great question because we we just had Easter, which was really, really nice. We had Morris sponsored a nice brunch and we got to spend time with her and my son in law and granddaughter and my son in law's parents. And it was just a really nice relaxing time. When my mom was still alive, we would all get together, but she passed away kind of early into covert.

00;30;20;04 - 00;30;51;01
Maryanne Knott ’76
So we haven't gotten back into the cycle of everybody getting together. We have a pretty big family with seven, six siblings of mine. Everybody's married. There were 20 grandchildren. I think now there's probably close to 20 great grandchildren. So very big, big family affairs. And so we're also getting used to having smaller celebrations as well. So I guess that's a long answer.

00;30;51;01 - 00;30;54;18
Maryanne Knott ’76
To say we really haven't planned Mother's Day yet, but we know it will be.

00;30;55;09 - 00;31;17;00
Stasia Walmsley
Well, wonderful. I'm sure whatever you do, it will be a lovely time and there'll probably be some fryer chatter knowing all the connections. But we're really glad that you're part of our Friar family and whatever you are planning for, for Mother's Day. I hope it's a wonderful one for both of you. So thank you so much for being on the podcast.
