   Hello Cam,

   I work with your Dad and he gave me your wegsite blog. I know Denny jr. too and I must say you guys are the classiest folk I have ever met. Very rare indeed. so, I am reaching out to say your art is stunning, your blog entries well thought out and show a superior command of the language. It is hard to impress me, but I must say-I am impressed and shower encouragement when I see a rare gem indeed. I am a writer that has received praise from your Dad and some of the toughest customers down in FISD.

   So, Denny, Sr. told me you explore how to educate yourself and then CLEP or other methods to educate ones self. Brilliant-that needs published and you should explore writing a book that would serve to spread this little known avenue. Serously-could be some income for you. In this era of having the government solve problems of those that either can't help themselves this is good. those that are too lazy or are looking for handouts are justified in their weed garden they have tended carefully.

   I have struggled physically, 7 years of chronic back pain due to a birth defect. had surgery and am recovering. It may (still hold out hope) return to its old self, but I have my doubts. Your physical section is good. I probably gravitate to mental and character section now. Sometimes I think it is the thorn in my flesh to keep my pride from buffetting me like St. Paul-yet to presume I am anything like St. Paul is itself prideful. I just might have an opportunity to see a miracle.

   So, reaching out to quality people, such as yourself sir. My daddy was a Captain USMC in Korea-Pilot. So, I feel as though I have the heart of a marine, yet in my early years could not respond to correction, discipline, or structure-so that was not an option. Now I look to the quality that USMC breeds and feel as though I am an adopted Son-because I have shared the morals and maxims. I earned my stripes by having life kick my @@@ around for

   Your dad and I work together and I thought I would reach out and congratulate you on your talents in art and with the spoken word. Your art is impressive. Your family is the classiest I think I have ever seen-as I get to know more of you my benchmark of class and bearing are revised-and hopefully rub off.

   appreciate the posting of the Psychological scale of IQ tests. I took it once and my sister wouldn't tell me my score. well, I twisted her arm and manipulated the score out of her. It was off the charts. Yet I am humbled, now. the purpose for not telling me was lest I become to proud and don't strive. That only means I did well on that particular test. I know I am gifted with aptitudes-but well, I am using about 1%. so, my intent now is to reach out to smart/gifted folks like yourself, your brother Denny, and your Dad. Your Dad hired me so he can tell stories.

   My daddy wsa a Marine in WWII-Captain and Pilot. I have ultimate respect for USMC as the standard bearers. the few, the proud-and rightfully so because the corps. is the upper echelon of society and ought to be proud. I say proud but with the comport to reflect humility-this is a given with the corps.

   I, like Denny, Sr. and Jr., love my job. I have had chronic back pain for 7 years and had surgery. Still hurts. Now is the time to despite a splinter (compared to what my savior suffered) reach out for that brass ring and don't give up until it is mine-and by association my families and friend's.

   Your blog areas are very useful to me. I am seeking to sharpen my aspects of my person-so I will frequent the areas and utilize that which you have generously put out there. I, too, am a bit of an artist-love Dali, Escher, and Warhol the best. Iron sharpens Iron as a man to another man. Paraphrasing Proverbs. Take care Cam. Jim

   Might friend request you on fb. I like to draw too and have a project for your Dad-will reflect the consequences of the future (Lord help us) of our health care system. Well, it starts out with the Peanuts style cartoon-Lucy's psychologist booth ( all rickety and such) next eith I will have Lucy with a strap on Duck bill. Top billing in the booth is Universe L Hellth Care (backwards E). bottom billing (the Ducktor is in) behind Lucy is a litany of medieval surgical (rusty if possible). The line of people might be somehow reflected as all the colors of the rainbow or some symbol of diversiity with ailments not sure on this yet. Lucy's bubble might say "geez, I am not trained but shucks Chuck I think I can operate a hacksaw for some poison ivy cure" or something like that. An idea that popped in my head. I usually don't act on any ideas., but since your Dad indicated interest I think I will follow through. I I can pull this off-I will get an image to you. If not, you can have a warmup exercise.

   See ya,
