Heh. I know a Man who just stepped down from an adult leadership role in YM. Vietnam era vet, etc. He was very regretful, but his health has made the decision for him, unfortunately.
He's the one who taught me about 'ex' versus 'former', and he's the older brother/uncle I never had while growing up, 8 years older than I am - I met him in May of 1979, when I was just a young pup, but had just moved on my own to Seattle, and we were instant friends. I don't know how much longer he's going to last on this Earth, but I know I'll miss him terribly when he's gone. My thanks to Todd, BTW, for passing on the link. My friend simply emailed me back: Semper Fi.
