Am I Allowed?

...To brag just a little bit? Our oldest son, Klint, our 4th child, (Shown here with grandson, AJ.) showed up in this news article that I want to share here today. The topic is an interesting one. Ghostnets. High seas fishing nets that have been discarded and abandoned. Humongous fishing nets that float around our oceans and mess with our oceans eco-systems! Klint builds the bouys where he works -Airborne Technologies, Inc. The finished bouys are attached to these huge, killing seines as they are found. They can then be tracked by satellite and computer, located by ship, picked up and removed. If they are left out there they will continue to kill fish, seals, waterfowl and other sea animals that will get trapped in them as the nets ghost about the oceans, many times for years and years and years..... Just think of all the little critters (most likely big critters too) that have already been killed by this hazard! Read about it here. Good job on the job... Klint! Hip, hip hooray to Airborne Technologies, Inc. too and all that are also involved to remove these nets! I should get some sort of compensation for the links to the .... just a joke!!!!!

OF COURSE you're allowed to brag!! That's a wonderful thing he's doing and he should be extremely proud to be a part of it. *hugs*
