If I could spend $100 million on a house that would make me a lot happier, I would do it. But, for me, that’s the happiest house in the world. I have a house bought 55 years ago. It’s warm in the winter; it’s cool in the summer. It has all things I wanted plus it has all kinds of good memories. Like my kids, I have good thoughts about that. I can’t imagine living any better.
