3. I've handled a few birds and

owls are very sweet. Falcons, not so much.

I replaced a drug problem with going back to school, thanks to a very smart doctor. I'm sure he saved my life.

4. I'm glad you got away from the drugs.

5. Over 30 years ago and I

have never looked back. However, I do have some empathy for those that struggle.

6. It's really quite simple

As I told my brother, about his troubled teen son, he has to be interested in SOMETHING. Almost anything, choose one, computers, automobiles, almost anything. Didn't suggest Falconry, but that look like fun!

He took my advice and today my nephew owns two European auto repair shops in Arizona, very big and successful.

8. Cool story

I have a good friend who is a falconer. It is not a cheap hobby. He has GPS units for his birds
