The boss of the canning dept where I'm asst super, had her grandson go off to Basic. (she raised him since he was 5). He had to go to Conditioning school first, cus the only thing fit about him were his thumbs. He graduated in Dec and is off to his first post. If he can do it, so can your GS.

I prefer to enter things on my laptop, but I found yesterday that I had to enter photos from an app from my phone. Yes, they can teach an old dog new tricks.
