He and his fellow Chief, HMC Al Tory are enjoying themselves and making a hit among the women they come in contact with.

Two brothers farmed potatoes together. One had two daughters and, because Covid prevented them from dating, he felt it was his duty to prepare them to be good wives. His own wife agreed.
