A friend. A buddy. That’s what this 64 year old has.

“Me and Mike, my partner who’s over at McDonald’s right now” as he point to his cart, ” We stick together. We hang together. We don’t associate with to many people. We both got the same camp…I sleep on one side, he sleeps on the other”. They’ve been together for the past 5 years, ever since Lester was released from prison.

“There’s a lot of weirdos out here” he says.

“Life, is what I am grateful for today”. He urges kids to stay in school and get an education, then join the military or “do what you want to do”.

And, “stay of drugs”.
