Chapter 22 Plea

• Bryan was what others in the old days would call slow. One of the fastest ways anyone could anger Jedidiah would be if they called his friend retarded.
• Bryan was truly a gentle giant. His father Terry made sure that his son was taken care of. College was never in the cards, but he had a gift, and his father made sure he could survive on it. His older brother Cody handled the books, orders and the other family businesses.
• In school Jed coached Bryan academically. That was part of the reason he graduated. The fact that Quade forbade Jed from having contact with the Weatherford family made his acts of rebellion ever so much more enjoyable. As a result Jed was often treated like an extended member of the family.
