“I don’t know much about you, no. I’m not going to make up some things that I’ve guessed because that wouldn’t be fair to you. What I do know is I want to know you. I haven’t hidden that. I want to know you. We all do. Dunn asked me to set this up last week so we could all have a chance to get to know you.”
