Joe Aldridge is a former groundskeeper at the University of Missouri at Shelton. He had moderate autism, but he seems to be slowly growing out of this towards a milder variant.

Joe is 30-years old, brown hair, blue eyes.  His is 5'8" frame and has a muscular build from outdoor work, and manual labor.

He loves to read, especially westerns, with John Wayne, Sam Elliott, and Tom Selleck are his favorite actors.  He also loves to watch TV, when it runs, and play movies on his DVD player.

Joe also loves animals.  He hasn't met an animal he doesn't like although he does prefer pigs to be in his stomach best.
