Yes he will be ok and make friends you kind of learn to cling to each other for salvation in benning and then beyond at permanent party. He is coming over today to hang out he asked if he could stop by I said absolutely trooper. I remember coaching him in little league baseball, and I’ve seen him grow up. He was hit by a fast ball once as a young man and I still joke with him about how flaky he was at like 9 years old. I’m ok coach and the ball would come and he would step out away from it.
