Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, etc.
I'd like to take a break from the Guatemalan news tonight.

Instead, I want to congratulate a member of my family... my nephew, Peter Perri.
Pete has advanced through the cub scouts and webelos, and has just become a Boy Scout! (That's him in the middle of the photo, looking darned grown up if you ask me.)
Even though I wasn't able to watch him "cross the bridge" at his Blue & Gold dinner, I want Pete to know that his crazy uncle in Guatemala is very proud of him!
I guess the only advice I can offer you Pete... having been a Boy Scout myself... is this:
When you go camping, never store bottles of honey in your sleeping bag. Bears like honey. (And I'm not talking about Winnie the Pooh here, either.)
Congratulations again, Pete!
ps: Thanks to Bob Cruickshank for the excellent photo.
