I actually talked to a family friend of theirs 4-5 months ago, and he/she (yes I know which, don't wanna get anyone in trouble) said he was ridiculously excited about being a Griz. I said something to the effect of I hope he turns out to be just like the small town Idaho Leighton Vander esch, for the Griz. She said...he plans on it, or something similar.
