BILLINGS — Evan is 10 years old and has the early qualities of a gentleman - shaking the hand and looking in the eyes of everyone he meets.

He is a Lego architect: "I'm building a Lego set right now and it's like this Marvel plane, I like Star Wars, too."

Evan loves the idea of having a sibling, and maybe even a dog.

His favorite subject is history, and he’s put some thought into what he wants to be when he grows up: "I want to be in the Army....so I can serve and protect the country."

And clever, too. H he posed a riddl asking, "What is Dracula's favorite fruit? Necktarines!"
