I didn’t know they were good at first. I was some distance away . I was
alerted to a problem. and there was an apparent language barrier to get over as usual.

As it turns out, language wasn’t a main barrier. But there was something else.

Everybody was pretty good. But i was older by about a half century and i was deemed the person to talk to despite the language barrier of some. one of the boys already knew me. He told me what happened. I told him he did the right thing. And we took care of the fundamental factor at least for one evening.

so everyone was good. now they are better.

for reasons of privacy of families which are not mine , i won’t say more.
