Absolutely. Could you give us your full name, please? Courtney Sieker Lutz. When and where were you born? I was born in Menard, Texas, you know where Menard is? Which is in West Texas. When? 1918. March 23, 1918. Were you born in a hospital or at home? At home, at my mother's home. And who delivered you? Let's see, it was a doctor. Dr. Liguette, I think was his name. Who was called to come to the house? I'm sure it was - I was not very aware of what he was doing (laughter). Sometimes there were neighbors -- I've done other interviews where neighbors were called and they came over and... Well, he was also a friend of the family, but he was a neighbor and was there.
