Lighthouse Therapy (00:00.824)

Hello everyone and welcome to the brighter together podcast. My name is Janet Courtney and my special guest today is Josh Meyer. Josh is the superintendent at Menster local school district in Menster, Ohio. And I found out he graduated from the same school that my husband did. Just he was a little bit, a little bit younger than me. So Josh, what a small world and welcome to the show.

Josh Meyer (00:23.485)

Yeah. Well, certainly, Janet, and I appreciate you asking me to come on the podcast and share the great things that we have going on at Minster. And you know, it is a small world when you not many people know where Rockford, Ohio and Parkway High School are. So it was certainly certainly great to touch base before we started recording about some about some common ground.

Lighthouse Therapy (00:39.683)

Yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (00:46.69)

Yeah, amazing, amazing. Cause it’s a small little, little school and, but you know, it produced my husband and many other great people. So, and I’m all the way in Corpus Christi, Texas now. So I love that so much. So tell us, Josh, how, tell us your journey to becoming superintendent and a little bit about Minster. I’d love to hear about it.

Josh Meyer (00:50.823)

Yeah.

Josh Meyer (01:07.997)

Sure, well my journey my educational journey I guess I started as a junior high teacher at Cory Ross and local schools which is just outside of Finley, Ohio and I taught there for 12 years and I coached football I coached track I was the athletic director and you know those those listeners that are familiar with a small school know that you wear a lot of hats in a small school and it was a great it was a great experience and it was a super place to be

Lighthouse Therapy (01:31.927)

Yes, you do.

Josh Meyer (01:37.374)

Very small rural school, a lot of great people there. And then about 10 years into my teaching career, I decided that I wanted to start my administration journey and the administration side of things. And got my administration degree from Wright State University in Dayton. My first administration job was as the assistant principal and athletic director at Napoleon High School.

Lighthouse Therapy (01:51.182)

Mm-hmm.

Josh Meyer (02:06.205)

which is in Northwest Ohio about 45 minutes west of Toledo. And I was the assistant principal and seven through 12 athletic director there for four years. And what a wonderful, it was such a wonderful first step into administration because I had the athletics piece that I was familiar with from being an athletic director previously at Corey Rawson. And I had

Lighthouse Therapy (02:08.512)

I know where that is too. Yeah.

Josh Meyer (02:33.777)

Then I also gained the assistant principal administrative piece, that experience, you know, with the teacher evaluations and the student discipline and student attendance and the scheduling of classes and, you know, working with counselors and working with all the different interest groups and all that that went into that job. My wife and I were there four years. And then I became the high school principal at Covington High School, 7 through 12.

Lighthouse Therapy (02:42.286)

Mm-hmm.

Josh Meyer (03:03.891)

principal at Covington High School. Covington’s a small school, graduates about 60, 70 students a year, about 35 minutes northwest of Dayton. And I was there four years and it was a wonderful community.

loved it there, loved my experience there. And then at the end of my first years as a principal there, the superintendent, we were doing my end of the year evaluation, and he asked if I’d ever thought of becoming a superintendent. And I…

quite honestly told him, I barely know the staff here and the kids here. And he said, well, I think you’d be really good at it. I think you should think about it. And that summer, I started taking classes again through Wright State and was at Covington for four years. The Minster job opened up. And I remember asking my wife because she had said,

a year or two before that after our second or third year at Covington. She had said she really loved it there. Our kids liked it there. And she said the only places that I think you should apply are, you know, places closer to where we grew up. Cold waters, St. Henry’s, Minsters, Marion Lopez, all those. Yes. All those places in lovely West Central Ohio. Very small, very rural schools, very high achieving schools.

Lighthouse Therapy (04:19.444)

my gosh, all those places. know all of those places. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Josh Meyer (04:29.508)

And I told her I laughed because I said those jobs don’t come open. And a year later, the minister job came open. I mean, to make it long story short, I applied, interviewed, and I’ve been here four years.

Lighthouse Therapy (04:33.57)

Mm-hmm.

Josh Meyer (04:47.164)

love being part of the community. I have a senior in high school that will graduate from Minster this year. I have a sophomore son here that will graduate from Minster here in a couple years. So yeah, we’re here and we love it here and Minster’s a great place.

To talk a little bit specifically about Minster, it’s a small town of about 2,000 residents in West Central Ohio, maybe 45 minutes to an hour north of Dayton, hour and a half or so south of Toledo, west of I-75. It’s still, Minster is very family oriented, very church oriented, very community oriented and very school.

school oriented. So if I make it sound like it’s the 1950s here where it’s church family and school, that’s because in a large way it is. You know, we had our opening night of baseball last night and you look at the playground that’s outside our left field fence at the baseball diamond and there’s 30 or 40 kids playing on the playground. Totally unsupervised by parents. know, so that’s just the type of community it is.

Lighthouse Therapy (05:41.934)

Mm-hmm.

Lighthouse Therapy (05:52.845)

Yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (05:59.791)

Nice, nice small town America, definitely small town America. It’s a lovely place to be. and you know, it’s so funny because I didn’t even tell you that we lived in Ohio after we got married. My husband and I and my daughter was born in Cincinnati, but both my boys were born in Dayton. So when you started saying, right, I was like, right, Patterson Air Force base and right state and yeah. Oh my God. We were nine 11. We were, I was working outside of

Josh Meyer (06:03.068)

Yes.

Josh Meyer (06:15.227)

Yeah. yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (06:28.194)

Wright-Peterson Air Force Base at one of the elementary schools there through Green County ISD. I think it was ISD. It’s been a while, but anyway, and just, you know, all of these places that you’re talking about. Yep. Know that one. Yep. Know that one. It’s just my, was my, my husband’s family has been there for ever. And you know, we, we were in Michigan for 19 years, but before that we spent a significant amount of our early marriage in Ohio and

Josh Meyer (06:35.473)

Yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (06:56.802)

You know, he’s Ohio State fan. always will be tried and true. Yeah. yeah. Yeah.

Josh Meyer (07:00.099)

Absolutely. It’s a big part of what we do here.

Lighthouse Therapy (07:05.14)

Yeah, for sure. It’s exciting. So tell me, tell me how many about how many students do you guys have in Minster then?

Josh Meyer (07:13.213)

Sure, we have about 885 K through 12. We’re a K through 12 campus, two buildings, all on one location, shared parking lots, all that stuff. So an elementary building is K through six that has about 500 students in it. And then a seven through 12 building that has about 375, 380 students in it.

Lighthouse Therapy (07:24.504)

Mm-hmm.

Lighthouse Therapy (07:35.31)

So are you pulling in from, that seems like a lot of kids for a city of 2000. So are you pulling in from the rural areas from our surrounding? How’s that work?

Josh Meyer (07:44.988)

Yeah, we have a fairly good sized rural part of our district that is outside the village limits. you think it’s a, like you said, for a small town to have this many students in a K-12 campus, we still have a little bit of a dynamic going on here. to get into the weeds a little bit, we’re graduating classes in the lower 60s.

and we are bringing in classes in the mid to upper 70s, lower 80s. So we are growing at a comfortable rate, know, nothing that’s drastic. Like we’re not bringing in a class of 120 going, oh my gosh, what do we do? And having said that, we are growing at about 15 students a year the last four or five years. So, you know, I’ve been here four years from.

Lighthouse Therapy (08:19.416)

So you’re growing.

Wow. Mm-hmm.

Lighthouse Therapy (08:29.912)

Right.

Josh Meyer (08:40.253)

from year one to what we project next year, we’ve grown just about 75 students. But we have an interesting dynamic here where we’re a small town and a lot of our kids go away. They go away to, you know, UC or Dayton, University of Cincinnati or Dayton, or they go to Ohio State and they get married and maybe they live for four or five, eight or 10 years.

Lighthouse Therapy (08:47.864)

Wow.

Josh Meyer (09:10.071)

in those cities and then they come back home. They come home. They have two or three kids, one of them’s in third grade, maybe another one’s in kindergarten, and they decide it’s time to come home. And we encourage that.

Lighthouse Therapy (09:15.022)

They come home. Yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (09:26.572)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely. I was the one that didn’t come home. Yeah, we, although we came home for visits, we just never really came home. But yeah, it’s beautiful. is a nice, I mean, we ended up in small town America as well up in Michigan. were, you we lived in Pleasant Lake, tiny little Pleasant Lake, north of Jackson. So.

Josh Meyer (09:32.145)

Yeah, that happens too.

Josh Meyer (09:39.921)

Yeah, yeah.

Josh Meyer (09:50.396)

Yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (09:51.183)

same kind of small town feel to it. But I think when you live in that environment and you grow up in that environment, I remember I moved from Grand Island, Nebraska, a town of about 30, 40,000 people to New York to be a nanny and talk about culture shock and just north of New York City, I was like, yeah, crazy.

Josh Meyer (10:03.517)

Yeah.

Josh Meyer (10:11.005)

I bet. Yeah, I bet. You know, I mentioned that my wife and I have two kids in high school. We have five kids total. And this is, this area of the state and Minster specifically are just, a terrific place to raise a family. They really are. And we’re big enough where kids have enough of an opportunity. You know, they can be in band, they can be in art, they can be in, you know, all the sports.

Lighthouse Therapy (10:28.78)

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Josh Meyer (10:40.771)

And it’s small enough where if I stand outside the school door as the buses come in in the morning where I can say, know, I know a lot of our high school kids by name. You know, so it’s big enough where they can have those opportunities to be involved in activities. And it’s small enough where where the superintendent, the principal still know your name.

Lighthouse Therapy (10:51.374)

Yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (11:01.166)

Right, absolutely. We were talking briefly about my husband in Rockford, Ohio. His senior year, he graduated in 1987. He was a catcher and a first baseman in baseball and they won the state championship that year. And those guys are so still to this day, really tight, even though they’ve moved all over and all had married and had kids and stuff. But boy, it’s just, you just.

There’s something about it. There’s just, it’s a beautiful thing. So.

Josh Meyer (11:29.915)

Yeah, it is. to kind of bring that around, my older brother played on the 91 Parkway High School Baseball Championship team. And then last year, the Minster High School Baseball won a state championship, and my son was a junior on that team. yeah, so yeah. Yeah, awesome.

Lighthouse Therapy (11:46.007)

to them. Nice. Yeah. Super fun. Super fun. So what would you say are some of the other than keeping the small town feel, which is really cool. But life is life is like running at exponential speed right now, you know, with AI and with with social media and all of those things. What kinds of things are you seeing and how is that impacting how you guys serve your kids in Menster right now?

Josh Meyer (12:11.643)

Yeah. Sure. Sure, that’s a great question. So Minster has a tremendous tradition academically. We are typically a five star school district in the state of Ohio, which is the highest rating that you can receive. We are typically in the top 20 or 25 school districts in a rating called Performance Index.

Lighthouse Therapy (12:29.39)

nice.

Josh Meyer (12:36.669)

last, which takes all the state test scores and all the state metrics and kind of rolls them into one score and then spits out a number. And usually we’re in the top 20 or 25 of school districts in Ohio and that last year we ranked 10th. So that’s, I mean, so it’s, yeah, thank you. And then we also, you know, so we have that academic tradition going. We also have

Lighthouse Therapy (12:52.974)

Congratulations!

Josh Meyer (13:01.593)

our athletic tradition, is very strong here. have 43 team state championships across all sports, which is phenomenal. And we also have a high, high, high level, an unbelievable, we have over 90 % of our high school students that are in a club activity or extracurricular sport. So when you walk down the hallways of Minster High School, almost every kid has a locker sign on it, whether it’s band or student council.

Lighthouse Therapy (13:07.789)

I don’t

Lighthouse Therapy (13:19.97)

Wow.

Josh Meyer (13:30.171)

baseball or football or basketball or whatever it might be. So that’s, I told you all that to say that we do things really well here and we have a very, very, very sound traditional way of doing things. So the outside world does move at warp speed. And so what we try to do here is we don’t chase fads and we don’t.

Lighthouse Therapy (13:41.922)

Mm-hmm.

Lighthouse Therapy (13:52.098)

Mm-hmm.

Lighthouse Therapy (13:59.182)

Okay.

Josh Meyer (13:59.966)

We don’t chase trends. We don’t do things just because they’re flashy. We really make a concerted effort to make sure that whatever trend or fad or new initiative is out there, and you hear them all the time in education, you hear them all the time, whatever it is that’s out there, we want to make sure 100 % that whatever that initiative is,

Lighthouse Therapy (14:05.346)

Mm-hmm.

Lighthouse Therapy (14:17.07)

Of course.

Josh Meyer (14:28.283)

that it fits for Minster first. Because if it doesn’t, then we’re not going to do it. Because we have such a high level of achievement, we just, we want to make sure that we’re comfortable with things before we change anything. And so I really committed when I came here, I guess the visual or the analogy I use, if you’re in a ship on the ocean,

Lighthouse Therapy (14:30.712)

Mm-hmm.

Lighthouse Therapy (14:36.238)

Mm-hmm.

Josh Meyer (14:56.475)

and you make a one degree change today in education, in education in 15 years, that’s a big change. Just like if you were on a ship in the ocean and you make a one degree course change in a thousand miles or two thousand miles, that gets you pretty far off course. So we make sure that we stick with what we know, we make sure we stick with what we do well, and because we do, we do so many tremendous.

Lighthouse Therapy (14:59.278)

That’s a big one.

Mm-hmm.

Lighthouse Therapy (15:14.434)

Right.

Josh Meyer (15:25.557)

things here that we just really make sure that yeah, while life moves at warp speed outside, we’re going to take care of our minster kids first and do what’s best for them.

Lighthouse Therapy (15:35.566)

So what would you say is probably your biggest challenge right now?

Josh Meyer (15:39.676)

You know, right now, as far as trends go, right now our biggest challenge is probably the artificial intelligence, the AI, you know, how to teach it effectively, how to use it effectively, you know, when to use it, when not to use AI, when’s the right time to use it, you know, what depth and what percentage of time do students use it. That’s probably one of our biggest academic challenges right now.

Another one, this is not academics, but I alluded to the growth earlier in our district. know, when you have a, our elementary building is completely full of teachers and staff. There’s nowhere else to put them. So we’re also working on some permanent plans to address that facilities issue. You know, for us also, one of our biggest challenges is staffing.

not so much, not so much maybe like elementary or general ed type positions, but when you get a specialized position like a high school Spanish or an upper level math or upper level science or some college credit plus requirements courses, those are incredibly tough to find right now.

Lighthouse Therapy (17:00.044)

Mm-hmm, yeah, yeah, it’s hard. That’s a theme that I’ve seen throughout. Either those kinds of classes or your special education teachers, finding the right discipline or whatever to provide those services as well is a challenge. And it’s a challenge I’ve seen consistently and it’s part of the reason we do what we do, right? So, yeah, yeah.

Josh Meyer (17:11.569)

Yeah.

Josh Meyer (17:25.149)

One kind of operating principle that we have here is we’ll hire a person over paper. We will hire the right person maybe even if they don’t have the right degree or licensure. And we’ll get them alternative pathways and alternative licensure and all that stuff. But we won’t force a person

Lighthouse Therapy (17:36.398)

Hmm.

Lighthouse Therapy (17:44.782)

Mm-hmm.

Josh Meyer (17:54.664)

that doesn’t fit here, kind of the square hole round peg or round hole square peg, guess, however. We won’t force that person that’s not the right person just because they have a certain piece of paper. We’ll make sure we have the right person first, figure out the licensure, the alternative pathway later. And what we have found is then,

Lighthouse Therapy (17:58.413)

Yeah, right.

Either way, works. The analogy works either way.

Lighthouse Therapy (18:14.091)

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Josh Meyer (18:23.741)

once we’ve had those right people in the door, maybe they transfer later, you know, like we just had it this year, a special ed teacher is going to transfer next year to a fourth grade position because we had a fourth grade teacher retire. Now, if we wouldn’t have had that person in that position, the right person, we’d have missed on them, you know. So that’s one thing that the principals here and I really work on.

Lighthouse Therapy (18:45.324)

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Lighthouse Therapy (18:52.384)

Yeah, yeah. So do you have two principals under you then like a high school or do have a middle school as well?

Josh Meyer (18:56.859)

We do. We do. No, have two buildings, a K through six building and a seven through 12 building. And our K through six principal is Mrs. Mandy Alvers. She taught first and third grade here for a long time and grew up in Fort Loramie, which is just a stone’s throw away from here. And our high school principal is Austin Kaler. Austin grew up in Minster, graduated from Minster and taught in Minster.

So, you know, he has a lot of he has a lot of institutional and town knowledge that’s very valuable and so does so does Mandy. The only thing I don’t like about what you said is do they work under me? Absolutely not. They do not. They do not. We work side by side. Yeah, no. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (19:38.71)

No, they don’t. No, I get you. Yeah. You’re not the first person to correct me that way too. I’ve heard that before. Do not say they work under me. get, I totally get that. It’s just like, you you think of an org chart and they’re under you, but yeah, I get it. I totally get it.

Josh Meyer (19:53.766)

Yeah, I mean technically in an organizational chart, yeah, they’re underneath me and certainly I do their evaluations and all that stuff. And having said that, you know, we work together so often and so collaboratively that they give me so many great ideas and such valuable feedback that I hesitate to think of it in that way. It is.

Lighthouse Therapy (20:00.643)

Right.

Lighthouse Therapy (20:21.068)

Yeah, it’s a team. It’s a team. The same here. You know, it’s like you can, you can, you can hang the CEO and entrepreneur. think I said to that, that to you at the beginning, I consider myself a speech therapist. First. I always tell people I’ve been an SLP for 32 years because it’s my DNA. It’s who I am. I, God called me into this. It’s my mission, you know, to serve kids and to serve schools and to serve therapists. And, and so I’m doing this, this entrepreneurial lighthouse therapy.

Josh Meyer (20:23.165)

in the next year.

Josh Meyer (20:27.547)

Yeah, sure.

Lighthouse Therapy (20:49.464)

thing that makes me a CEO and owner. But fundamentally, I’m still an SLP and I’m still all about taking care of the kids and the therapists. And I tell people, God just keeps bringing the right people. And I just keep filling those spots with the people that he brings to me because it makes my life so much easier. And when you start the way I started with just I was the first I was our first SLP, right? I mean, it’s like, I can fill that job. I know how to do that. Our first contract was in a state I was licensed in. So

Josh Meyer (21:06.919)

Yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (21:19.022)

But then as you grow and you have all of these days, I always liken it to a juggler spinning plates. I have been able to give all of those wobbly plates to somebody else, but they’re all a part of that team, right? You cannot do this without a team of amazing people under you and they are all amazing and I’m so grateful. I totally get it.

Josh Meyer (21:30.277)

Yeah. Yeah.

Josh Meyer (21:41.213)

Yeah, yeah, and you know, it’s for us too. I mean, it’s in a small community like Minster and I’m sure other places, you know, whether it be Minnesota or Montana or small town Texas or wherever, you know, for us, it’s just as important, you know, your bus drivers, your cooks, your teacher’s aides.

Lighthouse Therapy (21:57.89)

Mm-hmm.

Josh Meyer (22:04.357)

you know, the rest of your administration team, like your technology coordinator, your transportation director, buildings and grounds and all that stuff, you know, I mean, tell our, half jokingly, but half seriously, the first two or three days of school, all anybody cares about is did their kid get to school on time, did they get fed lunch, and did they get home on time? And how important is that first impression those first two or three days?

especially for our younger primary students, that their bus driver greets them, that their cafeteria, you know, their cafeteria server greets them, and that they get off the bus and that they have a positive experience. Nobody expects them to learn anything the first two or three days, and maybe I shouldn’t say that out loud, but they want to know, they want to know. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (22:51.246)

But it is learning. mean, you have to learn the process of being in school and how that works. And that’s part of the process. And then at the end of school, I’m sorry, there isn’t a ton of learning that happens at last week of school either, you know, because it’s all field trips and everybody’s done. I get it. It is such a fun time when you’re the field days and the outside, everybody’s been cooped up all winter and now it’s warm.

Josh Meyer (23:04.837)

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Sure.

Lighthouse Therapy (23:19.626)

school’s about to get out and we’re going to have some fun and lots of field trips and lots of fun things happening. And those are a part of life too, you know, and they, just become such a big part of what you expect school to look like at the end of the year. So, you know, and if you don’t, if you don’t, I don’t, think if you don’t embrace those things, those, those, those are such a huge part of what makes school school. Yes, there’s learning. Yes, there’s academics. Yes, there’s reading and writing and arithmetic and all of those other things that, but

Josh Meyer (23:24.509)

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Josh Meyer (23:33.339)

Yeah. Yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (23:49.398)

you have to embrace the human beings and you have to embrace the process. So

Josh Meyer (23:52.338)

Yeah, yeah, for sure. So it’s a total team effort. And you just mentioned all the fun things that you do at school, which actually is a point I kind of wanted to talk about. Nobody works harder than our teachers and staff at Minster. And I want to say this also, nobody has more fun with our students. There’s not a place on earth.

Lighthouse Therapy (24:00.121)

Yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (24:13.976)

Mm-hmm.

Josh Meyer (24:17.265)

anyone to prove me otherwise that has more fun with their students than what we do. And I had to go back a little bit I had no connections to Minster when I came here. I maybe knew tangentially a couple people that worked here through second or third hand other colleagues. I don’t have any relatives here but

What I found extremely unique my first year here is how much fun we have with our students. And, you know, we do, we have a huge Oktoberfest here. We’re kind of a German community. Not kind of, we are a German community. We do a huge Oktoberfest here. And the Friday of Oktoberfest at school, kids are dressed up in their…

in their Oktoberfest outfits with their hats and their lederhosen and everything else and we’re doing chicken dances out front. And you know, go to things like homecoming pep rallies, the assemblies that our high school does with our students.

Lighthouse Therapy (25:18.124)

Mm-hmm.

Josh Meyer (25:31.645)

the end of the nine weeks awards assemblies that we do, just all the different things that our staff does. And they do them and they’re fun. And they do them to celebrate the success of our students. And that kind of maybe takes the edge off of learning, you know, where it’s not so mundane every day, 185 straight days, you know, so.

Lighthouse Therapy (25:51.01)

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Lighthouse Therapy (25:56.887)

Yeah. Yeah. Fantastic. Well, Josh, where do people go? Cause boy, you’ve, you’ve painted a beautiful picture of a community and a school, and I’m sure somebody’s going to want to pick your brain. So, and I know that, that that’s the, that’s the other beautiful thing you mentioned that earlier about, you know, if you, there are so many people that if I had a question, I know who I could go to and ask because that’s what educators do. They share. And it is such a beautiful thing. So where do people go to find Menster and to find you?

Josh Meyer (26:17.383)

Yeah.

Yeah, well our school website is minsterschools.org and then you can also look us up on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter or X or whatever it’s called now. We’re pretty…

Mm-hmm.

Josh Meyer (26:41.745)

We’re pretty active on social media. We feel it’s a great way to celebrate our students, recognize our staff, and put our message out there. So if you just search Minster Schools, Minster Ohio on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, we’ll come up. And you know, we do that. We focus on that because if we don’t tell our story, who is going to? You know, so we like to put our kids and our staff out there and what they accomplish. As far as…

As far as contacting me, josh.meyer, j-o-s-h dot meyer, m-e-y-e-r, at minsterschools.org. And always happy to connect. You mentioned that we steal things all the time as educators. And certainly I know I’ve been on the phone with two or three area superintendents today running situations by them. And that’s how we work and how we learn.

Yeah, and it’s that bigger team, right? You talk about the team at the school, but that’s the bigger community team. And I love that. And Menster, for those of you that are listening, it’s M-I-N-S-T-E-R, just so that we have the spelling correct for you guys. I just always want people to be able to find us and what we’re doing and you and what you’re doing. So Josh, has been such, it’s just been an absolute pleasure to speak with you.

you know, that hometown feel and just all of the connections that we have, it’s just been an absolute pleasure. So thank you for coming on brighter together. I really appreciate it.

Josh Meyer (28:05.927)

Yeah. Yeah.

Josh Meyer (28:10.125)

Absolutely, Janet. Always happy to talk about what our students and staff are doing here at Men’s Turn. It’s certainly my pleasure.
