This is Ben. He is graduating high school this year. I’d like to say he’ll be joining the real world, but Ben has already seen much of that. Ben is a very active youth in his church that has taken him to several places. One of those trips took him to NOLA very shortly after Katrina devastated the area. I wish we had more Bens in the world. 
Ben, thanks for getting up early for me (and your mom).
