Private to Alicia
I'd love to do an interview. If I'm agreeable (unless he's vastly different than you say, I don't see that happening) and he is as well (there will be some things he should know before he settles on me, and probably you as well), then I'd be happy to offer at least a trial apprenticeship to make sure it's a fit. He sounds like a good boy, and smart and hardworking are the main qualities I'm looking for.
