Instead of running to -- like just about everybody else.

Ron actually went back -- and ran back into the danger.

He was so worried about his friends and his colleagues that he wanted to help get them out of the same building he got out of alive.

And he did literally holding the door.

Open for that.

They made.

More touching story.

In this.

Because -- -- saying he was out -- -- clear.

Yet that they're taking that that's true and you know we've often spoken about it and we actually think that if my dad were alive today had he decided not to help people put others first.

He might be a pretty tough place because that's the way he raised us was thinking about other's -- you found out about this after the fact because the first utility Paris in the -- and everyone else.

Then you're not he -- -- he was fine.

And even ran back -- Yeah well you know one side of his building in tower two saw -- tower one get hit.

The other side didn't so that's when he was going to the other side to tell people to it to leave and they need to get out you know.

People are hearing -- stay in so trying to come back but -- you know keep something inside of him said.

People need to get home -- I think that's the way he was and he was reports on an underdog -- around -- we -- talk about Chris Christie but this guy he had a mind to mind yet how well you know he he was a forceful that that day and typically much more mild mannered but something told him inside said.

We like to take the lessons that we learned throughout the years -- -- research -- our experiences.

Helping people deal with the toughest times of -- someone dies of cancer any type of adversity.

And we like to teach people how to lead them and we say is you know everyone dies but not everyone layups and that sounds tragic.

But it's true -- we try to teach people how to dream again and learn those skills.

Is there any part of -- and someone -- -- -- -- from Edgar respect and I mean yeah.

I don't know for -- thing about death but I can say what you just said those words just showing up.

And everyone talks -- dad being hero for that moment -- holding a door he was holding -- door his whole life.

And that just showing up if we can get people to just show up.
