And here I was thinking you might take an interest in this particular gentleman as he has a Michigan connection, albeit the trip to Washington was a mitigating factor in including him, too. Otherwise, I probably would've passed on posting.

It's unfortunate. Probably put the weight on because he was bullied throughout childhood, assuming his cross-dressing isn't anything new. Turned to food as comfort.
