Hey folks. Believe it or not there is a real man named Jose Ferrer. Well, two really. The first is a dead actor known for playing Cyrano DeBergerac, the other is my closest friend since about 7th grade.
Jose is a 19 year old naturalized American citizen who immigrated from Panama. He graduated with Honors from Edgewater High School in Orlando, Florida in 1996. He then enrolled in the computer science program at the University of Central Florida, simultaneously working as a programmer for an industrial equipment manufacturer. Later in March of 1997, after his parents asked him to move out of the house (thus crippling him financially) Jose enlisted in the United States Marine Corp. He is currently at Boot Camp in Parris Island. He has requested mail, and I would like to give him as much as possible, SO...
If you have anything you would like to tell a young man going through marine basic, anything at all, please post it here and I will include it in future letters.
Thanks everyone!
