i see a very fine line in the use of the words "proud", and "prideful"...................... kinda like the difference in being "in control" and "controlling".........though they are very similar in nature, they are not interchangeable, they do have different definitions/applications.....however, i'm not sure that actually explains anything outside of my own head..........lol

congrats to your son and his eagle.
