“I’ve never sea surfed before” Largo admitted. “But I’m always up for a new experience”. That was the case but how far he went was down to his values. Brett sounded happier even with dangerous goons around. “Everybody needs something to relax. I do black powder shooting back in Florida. I’ve a civil war riifle and a revolver from that period. Weapons my Cuban ancestors would have also used” he added. Brett Ravenmore

"Best way to be in the water before you have to do something important at least in my head but everyone is different, we should give it a go one day and that sounds nice, I can see why you would want to hold onto it and make sure nothing happened to it, because we all have our reasons for keeping things that our ancestors had a use for."

“We should give it a go” he replied adding “I leave the civil war re-enactments to younger men and women. I don’t go that far and frankly never had the time to do so. Though in last semesters history classes about the vikings in Greenland and Canada I did bring in replica axes for them to try out. The only casualty was logs”. Largo laughed a little. He liked making his classes interesting. Brett Ravenmore

He nodded as he understood that because it was always so good for them to learn. "I do feel like students would learn better with a bit more hands on experience. Sometimes it is hard to get them to understand these things with computers and phones and tablets, have you had any students that stand out academically yet?" Largo Vasquez

Largo also had a way of getting students practical experience other than splitting logs with an axe. “There is an archeology dig team formed every year from the students in my classes. That gives the practical field experience and there are a few students who not only stand out like that but go far and be leaders” he replied. Yesa and Omar qualified on that count but he was only now seeing what the young man had to offer the team. So far things looked really bright for the pair of them. Brett Ravenmore

"See that is what I love about how much school has came a ways, back when I was in, it was mostly textbooks. We did the occasional field trip but with technology and such I feel like when students step out they get way more and can a better experience into whatever subject it is that interests them."

“When I went to college most computers didn’t have hard drives and you still used an overhead projector for your presentations. While you can learn from a PowerPoint presentation I find questions work better. It lets you see who is actually paying attention” Largo replied chuckling a little. That showed just when he had gone to college. Now he was the teacher trying to guide young minds in the right paths. Also to avoid the mistakes he’d made when he was their age. Brett Ravenmore

He took a second and nodded. "You know what Largo I think that you and i could truly become friends. Not like bullshit friends who talk to each other when it is convenient but real true ones who talk about important things so that the world does not cave down on us if you want or could see that."

Largo listened to what Brett had to say and he could agree with that. “I do believe we could Brett. We even got ourselves knives today from and I’ve gotten an idea too. Until we get round to surfing how about going diving? That wouldn’t be hard to fit into our working lives” he suggested. Brett probably did most of his work at night and Largo had classes mainly during the first half of the day. So there was wriggle room. Brett Ravenmore

"Yes to the diving," he said as he chuckled a little bit because he did need to get out and stretch his wings. "Will you let me know when is good for you and I will suit up and attend." It was nice to have friends because everyone did need them in the end. Largo Vasquez

"I can let you know Brett now I have your number. Once we know a good time for you and I can cross reference with my summer school classes which are mostly mornings we'll know what a good time is and I can book the boat and the diving equipment" he suggested. What he had in mind was freeform diving so you could see fish, corals and low dept sea wrecks. He had the charts for the shoreline so could pick a good spot for Brett to see. Now they just had to make the arrangements. Brett Ravenmore

"Sounds good, I will also stop by somewhere and get some extra netting and things like that in case we run up on an area where we can use it." He was looking forward to the adventure. Largo Vasquezwant me to make new thread?
