    I've learned a ton from this guy Ed. He ran the 3rd busiest Social Security office in the Country. He also has a background in Social Services. Seems like a truly nice guy.

    You're very welcome. We are a rare breed :) I wish somehow both of us somehow meet up with others in that same boat. I'd be happy to commit to looking after another's adult child if I live long enough. My son is wonderful and he needs friends. Mutually beneficial
