"My brother had the same disease I have: cerebral palsy. He died 2 days after birth. He was my same age; he was my twin. My granddad died too. He was a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, but he died when he was 75, so he didn't have time to tell me about his career. My dad knows lot of military stuff because of my granddad though, so he tells me. I want to be in the military too. I like to do military drills and I know all the ranks. I plan to be the first in my family to get to the rank of Admiral. The military has all this super awesome physical training too and I need it badly at this age. As you can see, I’m super scrawny.
"I want to design a hybrid battleship / aircraft carrier / submarine that can carry fighter planes, missiles, torpedoes, and sonobuoys. Hopefully, we won’t be having another war by the time I grow up, but we might, based on the situations in the news. We need to be ready just in case."

From the Camp Able website:
Camp Able serves youth with a variety of challenges, ranging from cerebral palsy and Down syndrome to autism. With a 1:1 counselor/camper ratio, each camper will have the opportunity to experience all camp activities, including low ropes course, swimming, canoeing, exploring nature, arts and crafts and worship.
“Camp Able focuses not on what a camper can’t do, but what he or she CAN do,” says Camp Director John Dreyfus. “St. Columba is a great fit for Camp Able, not only because of what our campus offers, but also because of the West Tennessee diocesan network that gives us access to an extensive and generous support system as well as many enthusiastic volunteers that will make it an unforgettable week for these special campers.”
Camp Able is located at the St. Columba Episcopal Conference & Retreat Center, 4577 Billy Maher Rd.
