Oh no, their factory is in the town next to where my wife grew up... Ilion, NY. I've walked past it from her parents house before. We have friends who have worked there. That could be a huge impact on an impoverished region.

There is something to be said for putting down roots. To actually invest your time into a community. I would not want that lifestyle. I love traveling, but I love coming back to where I call home.

My Grandfather got to meet him years ago, I believe it was in the 1970s. They were about the same age. Billy Graham has not been doing well, healthwise, for a while.
