Jerry, I really cant take your side on this issue.
- This is someone you haven't seen since your brothers funeral. - You live an hour away, and state that you haven't seen the boy. - He is the star quarterback. Every evening of days are filled with practice. - You didn't invite him directly. - Around here (Mid-Michigan) Friday thru Sunday after Thanksgiving are huge hunting times in rural areas.

You could have taught him one of these social considerations by calling him and extending the invitation directly.

This probably isn't what you wanted to read, I just wanted to try to point out maybe the way he sees it.
