Well, the boy just started his 1,000 mile trip to Atlantic, Iowa to start his new job.

One has conflicting emotions at times like this. Reminds me of when I left for the USAF...in 1975! I was 17, and he's 24, but still a little kid at heart. He'll be working for a very good friend of mine and AJ knows him. He says he'll "do me proud".

C'est la vie.
