Max has been here longer and we would give it to Max, but he has a really good academic scholarship. So Kai needed it a little more than Max, so we sat down with them and talked about it and let Kai know we were going to give it to him.andquot;So happy for him. Heand is a great kid. Works really hard. He deserves it, as does Max. Somehow, both were the guys who are perennial. Every time we have a scholarship available and we have that great opportunity and we do what he needs to do, we reward him for that. Yesterday they were alone in the office. Both hugged each other and cried. Both were really happy. It was a cool moment.andquot;‌.
