    Picked up Tommy from Hope Valley and it was wonderful to see him.  He was alert, clear, talkative, positive and aparently happy with himself.  He talked of the many experiences h had at Hope Valley and how he found others who were worse than he was.
    I was delighted to see him though I had to be reserved as there had already been too many instances where my trust in him had already been abused.
