Congratulations to him! Can he wear a wet towel around his neck? I always found that to be helpful in my school when it got too hot. The kids did it too. They carried a rag with them and periodically wet it.

Might be a NY thing. We don't have an opportunity to work outside in the fields.

Anyway, I'm happy for him. He sounds like such a good kid.

Good for Rick!!!! This will be a great experience for him. They can't get young men to do work like this around here. 30 years ago, high school boys wanted to haul hay and do farm work to build up muscles for football season. Now they go to air conditioned gyms and the farmers have to resort to hiring whoever they can get, often they are left no recourse but to hire illegals.

Rick is doing good honest work and you are very appropriately proud of him!!!!
