Over the NV is fine. I've spoken to Mr Creed about it once before - but I was thinking setting up calls, individual and group, for Newcomer students to 'catch them up' if they need or test them to their level as well as general introduction to the island - the public transit systems, currency and budgeting, cooking and laundry, basic laws, and helping those who want or need a legal guardian to find one, as well as a mentoring program, say with another student and an adult.

Outdoors would probably be best. I'm willing, more than willing really, to help set up for it - I've done it before, when I was teaching.

[He laughs and shrugs] Wouldn't be the first time. I'll make sure I have a suit ready, in case it does.

I'm almost eighty. How old do I look?

Fifty. A kind of young fifty.

Is it so difficult to believe someone could be teaching at twenty? [Amused.]

And thank you.

Our people...we...are a very closed community. Adults take on responsibility quickly, and it's not uncommon although not preferred, for older teenagers to take on the role of field leader, teacher, or even parent.

So everyone's like a big family?

More four or five large families, but yes.

It must be pretty nice, having something like that. My family only has three people, and ever since my father died, it's just been my mom and me.

It is, some times. Others...

No, having a small family can be a blessing.
