The high occurrence rate of dipole mode suppression demonstrates that core-dynamo-generated {\bf magnetic  fields generated by a convective core dynamo during the main sequence  can {\bf persist} persist  through the red giant phase, more  than $10^8 \, {\rm yr}$ after the dynamo has shut off at the end of  core-hydrogen-burning. phase}.  This indicates that these  dynamo-generated fields are frequently able to settle into long-lived stable configurations, a configurations  %,a  result that %that  was not certain from magnetohydrodynamical simulations \citep{Braithwaite_2004,Braithwaite_2006,Duez_2010}. The occurrence rate of  suppressed dipole modes in intermediate-mass red giants is much higher  than the occurrence rate of 

fields generated during star formation (less than $10\%$ of the time).
