I don't know why assume that it was how I grew up and I just always felt good about myself as a person because I had great parents who always.

At that party this photographer Timothy Greenfield Saunders decided wow look at -- these old faces and they still look great so he's decided to put a photo together of that black and white photo that you see.

And he pulled all of us together for that photo but as with photos she was taking place he had cameras there.

Filming behind the scenes and many would take each one of us in the -- and speak.

And pick apart our brains for 45 minutes might only soundbites were really about the -- and then -- cross team.
