Dr. Dre done had it up to HERE with republican representative, Marjorie Taylor Greene.  In case y’all hadn’t heard…the controversial Trump-supporting, Georgia-based politician shared a video post of herself making her way to the House floor with Dr. Dre’s “Still Dre” song playing in the background. Now, Dre is goin’ off about Marjorie ‘illegally’ using his music. “to promote your divisive and hateful political agenda.”

Dr. Dre and His Attorney Spoke Their Minds In Letter To Representative Greene

Dr. Dre’s attorney, Howard King, had some choice words for Marjorie – on behalf of Dre – that let the controversial politician know exactly how Dre feels about her seemingly making it look as if Dre somehow condones her, or her divisive political views. For example…King’s letter noted, “Mr. Young [Dre] has not, and will never, grant you permission to broadcast or disseminate any of his music.”

Dre and his attorney didn’t stop there though…their letter also requested that Twitter block Marjorie’s “Still Dre” post. Not only did Twitter yank ol’ girl’s post down, the company also locked her account. But, there’s more…

Attorney King also stated in the letter, “you would have a passing familiarity with the laws of our country. It’s possible, though, that laws governing intellectual property are a little too arcane and insufficiently populist for you to really have spent much time on …We’re writing because we think an actual lawmaker should be making laws not breaking laws, especially those embodied in the constitution by the founding fathers.” Dayumn! But then came their ultimatum…

Dre and King gave Marjorie Greene an ultimatum that expires on January 11, as stated in their letter. They demanded that Marjorie cease and desist any current and/or future use of Dr. Dre’s music on any social media platform, writing, “please provide me with written confirmation that you have complied with these demands before January 11, 2023 by 5:00 pm EST.”

Greene Throws Shade At Dr. Dre

Apparently, Marjorie Taylor Greene might’ve sensed she’d get some backlash for using Dr. Dre’s music without his permission, she spoke out about him shortly before Dre sent his cease and desist letter to her:

Via TMZ – Before the letter was sent, Greene told TMZ, “While I appreciate the creative chord progression, I would never play your (Dr. Dre’s) words of violence against women and police officers, and your glorification of the thug life and drugs.”

Welp…guess we’ll all have to sit back with our popcorn and see how this thing plays out in the coming days. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Dr. Dre

We all know Andre “Dr. Dre” Young (56) as the N.W.A. legend, who then went on to become co-founder of Death Row Records, who later morphed into the almost billionaire Beats by Dre mogul, that we see before us today. Though the latter business feat was accomplished later in his life, its his gangsta rap-producer persona that he’s most known for. Well, fast forward to now, and his 25-year-old biracial son caught many Dr. Dre fans by surprise.

Why is that? Well for several reasons: (1) At first glance, the young brotha does not look much like his legendary Pops; and (2) His eclectic sense of style is more Blink 182 pop-rock, and less like NWA, Death Row, nor his Pops’ current Forbes List cover-ready business attire.

Despite their differences, Dr. Dre and his son, seem just as as close as any other famous father/son duo- “Lamont and Fred Sanford,” Eddie and Gerald Levert, you name it. So without further ado ILOSM fam,’ scroll down to see why folks were surprised by Dr. Dre’s son…

Meet The Younger ‘Mr. Young’…

Tyler Young, Dr. Dre’s and Nicole Young’s son

Introducing Tyler Young, the 24 year old son of Andre “Dr. Dre” Young. As you can see, they are a tad different at first glance…

Tyler Young

Though their individual styles may be lightyears apart, there is one thing Tyler has in common with his Pops- their love of music. The younger Young is a music producer. His specialty seems to be house music mixed with a tinge of hip hop.

By the way, Tyler also looks a lot like his Moms– Dr. Dre’s newly ex-wife of 25 years, Nicole Young (56). As far as we know, Nicole is of White and/or Hispanic descent, and her maiden name is Nicole Plotzker.

Judge Denied Dr. Dre’s Wife’s Emergency Restraining Order

Speaking of the former Mr. and Mrs., exes, amid their recent divorce battle, Nicole filed for an emergency restraining order against Dr. Dre. for — get this — him calling her a “greedy bi*ch” and also a “bitch and a perjurer” in a song Dr. Dre released in February 2020. In court docs, Nicole claimed she felt Dre’s summarization of her was somehow a ‘threat,’ stating that “he has upped the ante and is now outright threatening me to keep my mouth shut or else.” The judge disagreed with Nicole’s claim of a perceived ‘threat’ and ruled there was “insufficient evidence” to back said claim.

Nevertheless, Dr. Dre and Nicole couldn’t be more proud of their eldest child, Tyler, just as they are of their youngest, daughter Truly Young, who was accepted into UCLA a couple years ago.

Dr. Dre reportedly has a total of eight children from various relationships.

Michel’le

As you all know, singer, Michel’le, and hip hop mogul, Dr. Dre, had a years-long relationship back in the day and share one child together. As you also have heard, according to Michel’le their lengthy union was filled with drama and domestic violence.

Well, what you might not know is that Michel’le reportedly has a brother who says he almost shot his sister’s then-boyfriend, Dr. Dre , back then. His name is Christopher Toussaint…he’s a rapper who goes by the stage name, Soliarii. In 2013 Soliarii revealed, to Diary Of A Hollywood Street King, why he apparently came this close to shooting Dre over Michel’le Toussaint. Check out what Christopher had to say about this below…

MICHEL’LE’S BROTHER ALMOST SHOT HER THEN BOYFRIEND, DR. DRE?

(L) Michel’le’s brother, Christopher “Solairii” Toussant; (R) Michel’le

Soliarii said that back when Michel’le was in her past alleged abusive relationship with Dr. Dre, he was about to shoot him for putting his hands on Michel’le. Here is what HSK reported in 2013:

The ‘Late Bloomer’ indie lyricist — whose real name is Christopher Toussant — says he’s tired of hearing people “[talking] about” Michel’le’s “corrective surgery” … the reported result of the R&B Diva’s physical abuse by baby daddy Dr Dre. That’s why Soliarii — who explains he was “a teen when all that was going on … and tried to protect his sister” — …recalled the “day she [Michel’le] came home, bruised and clearly beaten by Dre.”

There’s more:

“Our mother and grandmother kept me from going into the living room and gunning Dre down. To this day, Dre still doesn’t know what our mother and grandmother did for him,” [said Soliarii].

A source connected to Christopher Toussant a.k.a. Soliarii once sent I Love Old School Music the above throwback photo of Soliarii standing in front of his sister, Michel’le, when he was a child. And as far as the different spellings of their last names…we were also informed that Michel’le’s birth name was Michelle Toussant (not her current name, Michel’le Toussaint, spelled with an “I” and apostrophe’).

So, it looks like Christopher is telling the truth about being Michel’le’s brother. If the aforementioned hostile incident involving Soliarii, Dr. Dre, and Michel’le is true, then we are very happy (for them both) that their family members prevented Soliarii from carrying out his plan that day.

Dr. Dre

There are some things in life, we just can’t deny. For Dr. Dre- one look at his eldest son, Curtis Young, and he couldn’t deny he is the pappy even if he tried…yet, it took him 20 years to finally meet his now 39 year old seed, who could pass for his twin.

Curtis came into existence when Dr. Dre was just 16 years old and his then high school girlfriend, Cassandra Green, was 15. At age 12, Curtis learned who his real father was, but it wasn’t until age 15 that he began to actively attempt to meet his Pops. It would take him another 5 years to finally meet Dr. Dre at age 20 and in a prior interview with XXL, Curtis Young explained how they met and what he had to go through to make it happen.

“I started trying to meet him and hiring lawyers, whatever I could do,” Curtis Young revealed about seeking his dad, Dr. Dre. “It was rough. It was really hard to finally get the DNA test and meet him.”

Here’s What Happened The First Time Young Met His Dad, Dr. Dre

Dr. Dre (Andre Young) with son, Curtis Young a.k.a. Hood Surgeon

Curtis Young eventually reached one of Dr. Dre’s lawyers and that’s how the ball got rolling with the paternity test to confirm Dr. Dre is his dad:

“The first time I met my father was at the Sky Bar. We did a DNA test,” recalled Curtis. “I called his attorney Howard King and got in touch with him and told Dre what was up and we took a DNA test. That’s when we found out I was his son.”

Dr. Dre (R) with son, Curtis Young

He then explained why that time was tough on him as he tried to find his own identity within his Dad’s identity:

“You’re going through all this and you’re trying to find yourself, that’s a whole different period I went through,” said Curtis. “I was like, ‘I just want to be just like him [Dr. Dre]. I’m going to wear khakis and I’m going to be a gangster.’ It just really wasn’t me. I grew up in Compton, not that I’m no punk or anything, but I never had that in me. Everybody knew me and I was cool. I was the ladies man. Something that I had to grow into was just being Curtis Young. Curtis Young is a grown and sexy vibe, just talking about the life stories that I’ve been through. I had it rough. It’s not your average story.”

How Son Is Determined To Continue Dr. Dre’s Legacy, Without His Money

“The Legacy Has To Continue”…

 

Curtis Young is a very humble dude, who’s determined to make a name for himself without the financial backing of his almost billionaire Dad. And besides, Dr. Dre has apparently remained committed to keeping his millions to himself and forcing his seeds to make a way on their own…at least that’s what is said to have happened with Curtis.

Nevertheless, Curtis a.k.a. Hood Surgeon is a rapper and producer, who also owns a high-end cannabis brick & mortar store in Canada….wow!

The title of actor has officially been added to Curtis Young’s resume’ as well. He’ll be scoring the soundtrack to and starring in an upcoming film alongside Snoop Dogg’s son and Swizz Beatz’s son…

 

The Status Of Their Relationship…

Dr. Dre and his son, Curtis, seem to have a cordial bond these days, as seen in the 2020 birthday post Curtis shared for his pops b-day…

 

Additionally, Curtis Young and Dr. Dre’s homie, Snoop Dogg, are hella cool. They sometimes hang out together at concerts and such, as was the case in the video below…

 

Overall, it’s great to see Curtis Young – the eldest or Dr. Dre’s seven children building his own brand without leaning on his Dad’s name.

[inset photo] Throwback photo of Dr. Dre son, Marcel Young, whom he shares with his ex, Michel’le; [r] singer, Michel’le
Most of us, Old Schoolers, have always heard about the son that singer, Michel’le, had with music mogul, Dr. Dre, back in the day, but few of us have actually seen him. In fact, dude is so mysterious, that the chance of spotting him in the public spotlight with one of his parents, is like trying to spot Stacey Dash at a Black Lives Matter rally- slim to none.

No worries though ILOSM fam,’ we found him. Michel’le’s and Dr. Dre’s son is a product of their years-long relationship, and after watching Michel’le’s biopic – which aired on in 2016 – we all witnessed just how rough their relationship was (allegedly). But they created a son that they couldn’t be more proud of. By the way, he ain’t the cuddly lil’ kid you see in the above photo anymore. Check him out below…

Dr. Dre’s & Michel’le’s Son, Marcel Young

Michel’le with her and Dr. Dre’s son, Marcel Young

Meet Dr. Dre’s and Michel’le’s 30-year-old son,  Marcel Young. He looks like a blend of both of his parents, doesn’t he? Like we said though, Marcel is pretty elusive and doesn’t step into the public’s eye often, so this is a rarity for him.

After watching the “Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge, and Michel’le” biopic on the Lifetime channel, we learned that Marcel’s parents had their fair share of Ike & Tina Turner moments. Not sure how Marcel feels about the movie, but Michel’le revealed a few details about what Marcel’s relationship with his Pops is like nowadays.

Dr. Dre (R) with his and Michel’le’s son, Marcel Young

Despite all of the drama between his parents (Dre reportedly threatened to sue Michel’le for making him look like a woman beater in her biopic), Marcel apparently has a good relationship with his dad to this day…just check out on of their more recent photos up top.

What Michel’le Said About Dr. Dre As A Parent

Despite all of the drama between his parents (Dre is threatened to sue Michel’le for making him look like a woman beater in her biopic), Marcel apparently has a good relationship with his dad to this day…just check out the recent photo up top. Although we’ve all heard Michel’le’s claims, that Dre allegedly used her face and ribs like a piñata, but in past interviews, the “Something In My Heart” singer also revealed that Dr. Dre is a very good father to his son:

“I will say that my children’s fathers (I have a …son with Dr. Dre and a 10 year old daughter with Suge Knight) do love and take care of their children. They are great fathers and they are there for them. It’s not always monetary. It’s about being there.” -Michel’le, TV One

By the way, it’s hard to think about Dr. Dre without thinking of the musical magic he’s created throughout the years, dude is a BEAST with his tracks. However, we don’t really know if Marcel has the musical genes of his parents, but as y’all can see,  he certainly inherited their physical ones.

Speaking of Marcel’s parents, in recent years, Michel’le has exposed some very troubling info’ regarding her years-long relationship with his billionaire music-mogul pops. In fact, she’s been very candid about everything she’s gone through with BOTH of the famous fathers of her children -Dr. Dre, as well as his former business partner, Suge Knight (owner of Death Row Records). Yep, you just read that right. Check out Michel’le and Suge’s beautiful daughter HERE.

Read on to see what Michel’le revealed to Vlad TV about her and Dre’s relationship, including the time he reportedly almost killed her by gunfire…Laaaawd…

Michel’le On Learning She Was Pregnant With Dr.Dre’s Son

Michel’le

Michel’le: “I went on the Hammer Tour and found out I was 6 weeks pregnant and we had two more months to go. I had to come home and drop that baby and finish out some more shows and then I became a stay-at-home mommy. Which made my career go *makes car screeching noise* I don’t advise it if you want to be in this business. The baby can take a year and a half off. You want to bond with your child.”

Michel’le Says Relationship With Dr. Dre Changed After Their Son Was Born

Michelle: “It became more strained because he was able to get up and just go where I couldn’t do that anymore. I couldn’t follow him anymore. And I think it became more disrespectful because then, if you’re not there, somebody else will be. I don’t want to say he wasn’t ready to have a baby but he had already just had a baby. When I met him he had two women pregnant… When I met him one was in the belly and then one had just dropped. So there were two babies born within a year or so apart. And we had just started dating…So three already, one had just came out and one was in the belly. That was five. Mine made number six. While I was with him he had two more. I know! I know! I don’t know I just guess I cared for him. I know it doesn’t make sense now.”

Michel’le Claimed Dr. Dre Shot At Her & More

Vlad: How bad the abuse get?

Michel’le: I had five black eyes. Oh I was getting dragged on the floor, shot at…

Vlad: What led to the shooting?

Michel’le: We partied…and I guess I don’t know what I always did. And I always say it couldn’t have just been me. So one night we was arguing, he went and got the gun and I just made it through the bathroom door and he shot at me and missed me by this (holds up measurement fingers) much. He shot at me. And you know what I did? I left the bullet in the hole. It was in the door and then it went through the side of the wall in the bathroom and I left it there for a while, just so he could see it. But he never tried to shoot me anymore. Thank God. But the beatings were…it was a lot.

Michel’le: You know what my grandmother said, eventually: ‘When a man beats you, he doesn’t like you. He has women issues and it starts probably with their mothers.’ And I said ‘You’re probably right.’

The upsides to this are that both Michel’le and Dr. Dre seemed to have moved on from their years-long tension with each other; and their son is likely livin’ his best life these days.

Dr. Dre

We all know Andre “Dr. Dre” Young (56) as the N.W.A. legend, who then went on to become co-founder of Death Row Records, who later morphed into the almost billionaire Beats by Dre mogul, that we see before us today. Though the latter business feat was accomplished later in his life, its his gangsta rap-producer persona that he’s most known for. Well, fast forward to now, and his 24 year old biracial son caught many Dr. Dre fans by surprise.

Why is that? Well for several reasons: (1) At first glance, the young brotha does not look much like his legendary Pops; and (2) His eclectic sense of style is more Blink 182 pop-rock, and less like NWA, Death Row, nor his Pops’ current Forbes List cover-ready business attire.

Despite their differences, Dr. Dre and his son, seem just as as close as any other famous father/son duo- “Lamont and Fred Sanford,” Eddie and Gerald Levert, you name it. So without further ado ILOSM fam,’ scroll down to see why folks were surprised by Dr. Dre’s son…

Meet The Younger ‘Mr. Young’…

Tyler Young, Dr. Dre’s and Nicole Young’s son

Introducing Tyler Young, the 24 year old son of Andre “Dr. Dre” Young. As you can see, they are a tad different at first glance…

Tyler Young

Though their individual styles may be lightyears apart, there is one thing Tyler has in common with his Pops- their love of music. The younger Young is a music producer. His specialty seems to be house music mixed with a tinge of hip hop.

By the way, Tyler also looks a lot like his Moms/Dr. Dre’s soon-to-be-ex-wife of 25 years, Nicole Young (56). As far as we know, Nicole is of White and/or Hispanic descent and her maiden name is Nicole Plotzker.

Speaking of the soon-to-be exes, amid their current divorce battle, Nicole recently filed for an emergency restraining order against Dr. Dre. for — get this — him calling her a “greedy bi*ch” and also a “bitch and a perjurer” in the new song he released in February 2020. In court docs, Nicole claims she feels Dre’s summarization of her was somehow a ‘threat,’ stating that “he has upped the ante and is now outright threatening me to keep my mouth shut or else.” The judge disagreed with Nicole’s claim of a perceived ‘threat’ and ruled there was “insufficient evidence” to back said claim.

Nevertheless, Dr. Dre and Nicole couldn’t be more proud of their eldest child, Tyler, just as they are of their youngest, daughter Truly Young, who was accepted into UCLA a couple years ago.

Dr. Dre reportedly has a total of eight children from various relationships.

Dr. Dre

Dr. Dre and his loved ones are likely letting out a huge sigh of relief today and for good reason. He’s finally checked out of the hospital, where he’d been since having a brain aneurysm recently. Although N.W.A. legend is back in the comfort of his own home now, he’s still not out of the water just yet, according to his docs. As a result, Dr. Dre is receiving 24 hour care at this time.

Here’s the latest on his condition:

Via TMZ– Sources close to Dre tell TMZ … he went home Friday and while he’s on the road to recovery, he still needs attention. We’re told there are medical professionals at his home who will monitor him 24/7 for the next few weeks to make sure he’s okay.

Our sources tell us Dre was in ICU at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. until Wednesday, when he was then moved to a private room at the hospital. Although he’s been released, we’re told doctors still don’t know what triggered the brain bleed — and that’s part of the reason for the at-home care.

Fully recovering from a brain aneurysm with all of one’s faculties is only about a 50/50 chance. Thankfully, so far Dr. Dre is of sound mind and body, but as you can see, his doctors are watching him with an abundance of caution, in order to keep things that way.

In case you missed our prior report, on January 4th, Dr. Dre was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, after suffering a brain aneurysm at his Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, CA home.

 

Dr. Dre with soon-to-be-ex-wife, Nicole Young

Also as previously reported, It’s unclear what caused the brain aneurysm, but as you may recall, he’s in the middle of a seemingly very stressful situation with his soon-to-be ex-wife, Nicole. They’ve been going tit for tat in their divorce proceedings, as they battle over their pre-nuptial agreement. Long story short: Nicole is fighting tooth and nail in court to get a bigger cut of Dr. Dre’s nearly $1 billion estate. In fact, she’s filed legal docs to ask the judge to disregard their prior pre-nup because she claims Dre tore it up early on in their marriage and claims that it therefore should be voided.

Nicole is demanding $2 million per month in temporary spousal support, plus an additional $5 million for attorney fees, even though Dr. Dre says he currently pays all of her bills and expenses.

Not sure if the divorce feuding has Dr. Dre under a severe level of stress, or not…but hopefully, their heated divorce proceedings will be calm and stress-free going forward.

Sending uplifting energy to Dr. Dre as he continues his journey toward a full recovery.

Dr. Dre

ILOSM family let’s all keep Dr. Dre in our thoughts in prayers at this time. The hip hop mogul is currently in ICU at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, after suffering a brain aneurysm on Monday, January 4, 2020.

Here’s the latest:

Via TMZ– Sources connected to Dre and with direct knowledge tell us, Dre suffered the aneurysm Monday and was rushed by ambulance to Cedars and was taken directly to ICU, where he remains Tuesday.

Our sources say the 55-year-old music mogul is stable and lucid, but doctors don’t know what caused the bleeding and they are doing a battery of tests.

Thankfully Dr. Dre is in stable condition now.

Dr. Dre with wife, Nicole

It’s unclear what caused the brain aneurysm at this point, but as y’all may recall from our prior reports, he’s in the middle of a seemingly very stressful situation with his soon-to-be ex-wife, Nicole. They’ve been going tit for tat in their divorce proceedings, as they battle over their pre-nuptial agreement. Long story short: Nicole is fighting tooth and nail in court to get a bigger cut of Dr. Dre’s nearly $1 billion estate.

Nicole is demanding $2 million per month in temporary spousal support, plus an additional $5 million for attorney fees, even though Dr. Dre says he currently pays all of her bills and expenses.

Not sure if the divorce feuding has Dr. Dre under a severe level of stress, or not…but they have a hearing scheduled for this coming Wednesday. Clearly, they’ll have to reschedule it; and hopefully, their heated divorce proceedings will be calm and stress-free going forward.

We’ll continue to keep you all posted on Dr. Dre’s condition as we get more info.

Nicole Young; Andre “Dr. Dre” Young

When it comes to Dr. Dre’s soon-to-be-ex-wife (pictured above), most fans rarely know her name and simply think of her as, well…’Dr. Dre’s wife.’ She’s been married to the nearly billionaire music legend for 24 years and is often seen, but very rarely heard…at least publicly that is.

Now, there are several little known facts we’ve discovered about the Mrs.. For starters, we’ll began calling her by her name, Nicole Young, who also happens to be a lawyer (though she reportedly hasn’t been a practicing lawyer for years, given that she’s married to one of the wealthiest hip hop moguls ever). Nicole’s also known by her maiden name, Nicole Kendra Plotzker.

Speaking of names, there’s one other name she’s sometimes still referred to as- the surname of her previous wealthy husband, who’s a major legend in his own right. So, WHO was Dr. Dre’s wife married to, you ask? Check him out below…

Dr. Dre’s Wife was Married To A Baller…Literally…

Nicole Young is also known as Nicole Threatt (50), which was her prior married name when NBA legend, Sedale Threatt(58) was her husband. Nicole, Dr. Dre, and Sedale seemingly had a pretty interesting past prior to Mr. and Mrs. Young getting married, but I’ll get to that in a second…

In case y’all are not familiar with Sedale Threatt, here’s a quick breakdown of his legendary status:

– He played in the NBA for 20 years, from 1983 to 1997. He also later played in several other basketball leagues overseas.

-Threatt played starting point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers for 5 years, starting in 1991, where he was originally signed as Magic Johnson’s backup, until Magic retired due to his 1991 HIV diagnosis.

-Sedale became known as the ‘last sixth round draft pick to play in the NBA,’ because after he was drafted, the league shortened the NBA draft to two rounds.

– He initially was signed to Philadelphia 76’ers in the 1983 NBA draft, where he remained for 4 years. He then signed with the Chicago Bulls in 1987, then to Seattle Supersonics in 1988, where he played for 4 years as well.

The Allegations About The Three Of Them:

Dr. Dre with wife, Nicole Young

Nicole Left Sedale Threatt For Dr. Dre?
According to several sources, Nicole reportedly left Sedale Threatt for Dr. Dre, after three years of marriage. Word on the Old school curb is that Sedale was out here runnin’ wild in these streets, with groupies galore.

When Nicole was married to Sedale, she allegedly got sick n’ tired of his cheating ways and reportedly began a relationship with Dr. Dre.

During a The Breakfast Club” interview, Dr. Dre’s longtime ex/mother of his child -former Death Row singer, Michel’le- reportedly alluded that Dre allegedly left her for Nicole.

Sedale Has How Many Kids???

Sedale Threatt is said to have approximately 14 kids, but that has yet to be proven. Additionally in 2000, a judge sentenced Sedale to 6 months in prison for failing to pay child support. That same judge also ordered him to take care of five additional outstanding child-support orders, in other jurisdictions, for children he reportedly procreated in those areas as well. He’s since remarried and lives in Melbourne, Australia.

Dr. Dre’s Alleged Love Letter?

There is also an alleged 1995 handwritten love letter written to Nicole, by Dr. Dre, in which he’s trying to persuade her to finally leave Sedale Threatt.

IF that letter is authentic, then Dr. Dre’s alleged persuasion worked…but unfortunately after 24 years of marriage, they’re headed to divorce court. Not sure how much bread Nicole is gonna get from the divorce though. So far, their pre-nup is said to be game tight—in Dr. Dre’s favor. Only time will tell. Best wishes to them all.
