Thanks, Don and Leo. Not sure of the backstory, but I sure do respect that Mom is asking for someone to teach her son, rather than DO for him. Mom's a Master Sergeant, so maybe that comes with the territory.

I like the Homecoming idea. I've told her about it already and sent her some pics (that don't include dust masks). With luck, we'll see them at this or a subsequent event. I'll lean forward with that idea. Meantime, Chris has gotten them started and we'll work the short term fix. If someone can help out in their neighborhood, so much the better, for the longer term.

Victor, they are in the Annandale/Springfield/Fairfax area. Truck is currently broken down near 495 and Braddock Road. Off the beltway, in other words.

Anyone who thinks they might have time, feel free to call me at 804-994-4264 and I'll make the connections.

Thanks again,

Jim
