jw,
I agree with the advice here. You should both learn on the Trainer, and don't be surprised if he solos before you do!

Kids minds are still being programmed, and their hand/eye coordination is usually better than the old guy's. The computer games help too.

Lee,
I certainly hope that your son's cancer goes into remission. The times you've had must be priceless to you, and I hope that you're able to share them for years to come.

My prayers are with you.
