Luke made his first visit back to the Imperial Beach Border Patrol Station this morning. We went down early so that he would be there for when the midnight shift agents, the shift that Luke worked, came in from their duties. There were a lot of smiles and warm greetings as they were all very happy to see him back. It didn't take Luke long to take control of the scope and survey the areas of the border that he had worked.
We stayed for the first half of the benefit barbecue held on his behalf. It was more time of chatting and laughing with his fellow agents. Then Luke needed to get back to get his occupational and physical therapy workouts. During his workout he received a phone call greeting from Chief Aguilar, head of the national Border Patrol. Chief Aguilar had honored us with a visit while Luke was the ICU but under sedation and pain medication. This time Luke was able to talk with the Chief.

Luke,
I made it to the Christmas BBQ at IB but too late to see you. I got down there about 12:30. Lousy weather but good food. Good luck on the therapy. I'll stop by later. Merry Christmas. Ken Potrero
