Oh, for my good health. I’ve had spurts of bad. When I broke my back that wasn’t health, but I’ve had different things. I had whooping cough when I was very little. I still remember whooping and my parents would stand there and watch me. It must have been bad for them, but I can still see them. I was only maybe two? I don’t know. Good health would be one.
A firm foundation if you can get one. I think for me it was religion. We were Lutheran and it just happened that my father was from the Roman Catholic area. He was a Protestant and so we had no problem there. They both went to that church and we were very faithful in going to church.
For me that was a real – that was something else. It was about the only thing we did that was different. Otherwise it was going to school and working on the farm. It was a very simple life, really. So, that simple life is the best I think.
Oh, I regret that I was never married (Laughs), but I had a few friends but not many. I was too bashful. Terribly bashful. Oh, awful. But, other than that, no.
