Young Mr. Gaston needs to be more involved, is correct. What involvement has he has at all since moving back to town recently? Do you think he really understands or gets us, as he’s not been part of the community for so long? I’m not sure about him, other than his geneology and role as Soilder #2 in Last of the Mohicians, there’s just not too much substance to really talk about. Hmmmm?
