So interesting but horrible sound quality with all the background noises. Sounds like there's a kitchen crew working in the background.

@celloswiss It was the quietest place I could find that didn't have a meeting going on.

@MoonlitKnight81 Thanks!

@DLandonCole Not to worry. I still enjoyed the interview and the effort. It's just that the background noise is rather irritating. What an interesting man. What a hero!

very interesting - though i suspect one of the easier videos you've had to make - sitting looking interested was, i suspect, pretty easy given the man's stories.

I would very much appreciate it if someone could caption this. It's difficult to hear in some parts and the story is fascinating.
