great that an organization like AIM or the Grant Halliburton Foundation is out there now, because there is a place to go, there is a place to give, there's research being done, doctors are working on this… Q: What do you think, besides donating and educating, that we can do as adults to make it a little bit better for kids, who as you pointed out, are under so much pressure? A: Far be it from me to tell anybody how to parent, because Lord knows we are all just trying to make it through the day with our kids, and every one of them is different…The one thing we all can do is be present and try to notice behavioral changes…I know it's easier said than done, but try and have open dialogue and conversation with your kids…having those din- ners where everyone puts down those devices… Q: Switching topics, you come up here for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro- Am. What is it about this area that you enjoy the most? A: I grew up in Dallas with fairly humble means and we didn't travel much, and I didn't come to California until I was a grown adult…Pebble Beach always represented this Shangri-La, this heavenly place…I saw it on my television once a year during the Clambake, what's now the AT&T… So when I got to go up there for the first time and walk the grounds of Pebble Beach and then play golf there, it was emotional…Pebble Beach and the whole Carmel area is so romantic, so magnificent, it really does exceed your expectations. For me, there's never a time that I don't drive up there…and feel goosebumps...This might sound silly, but I feel like the air's a little sweeter. Everything is just a little bit more spectacular, even on the terrible days when the wind is blowing and it's raining…It's just this place…that I never dreamed I would actually get to be a part of. Not only to have been there, but having had the honor of being invited to play in the AT&T, alongside those pros, alongside those celebrities…I always feel at some point, someone is going to tap me on the shoulder and say, 'Mr. Harrison, we figured out who you are. You need to leave.' Q: How many times have you made it this far without that happening? 108 C A R M E L M A G A Z I N E • H O L I D A Y 2 0 1 9 The gala raised just under $800,000 for "innovative and promising research to find better treatments and cures for youth struggling with their mental health."
