Thanks for your kind words. Yes he is a good man, and I can't take the credit for all of that, he has acquired much of it on his own somehow. This kid gets up at 5 am everyday except Wednesdays, drives 5 miles to a hog farm and works until 7 when he showeres out, drives 5 more miles to school where he lifts weights until 8, showers again, goes to class until 3:30, wrestles until 6:30 at practice, then comes home and starts it over again.

We are about 10 miles SE of Ogden, just on the west side of the Des Moines river from the Ledges State park.
