[Vision2020] And The Beat Goes On!

[Tom Hansen]

"No-Clue" Farris (who never served a day in uniform), in his immature
attempt at sarcasm, stated:

"Speaking of 18 year olds and their boxing experience. I hope Kenyon is 
doing well from his exposure to the manly art of pugilism!"

J's son Kenyon is currently in training at Fort Benning, Georgia (the Army's
Infantry Training Center).  Kenyon's sense of duty, honor, and commitment
forced him to volunteer, pretty much knowing where his first duty assignment
is going to place him.  Kenyon, though half Farris' age, has exhibited and
continues to demonstrate ten times the maturity, responsibility, and
accountability associated with Farris.

In my humble opinion Kenyon exemplifies what Farris so desperately lacks and
what was illustrated by definition in a poem by one of our great authors:

"If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a man, my son!"

May Kenyon return whole and wiser.
