Living."

<<Were you ever able to follow up on how those kids turned out?>>

No. I think about them often. Those 2 and one other boy who burned down
half of a small town and was placed in a youth ranch. That kid could fight
like the dickens, curse like a sailor, threaten everyone around him with
physical violence.....but he was so tender raising little runt pigs. We
used to have our "sessions" out at the pig farm because he was able to open
up and be himself there.

I think about those boys very regular.
