CLEVELAND (AP) -- A 12-year-old girl whose grandmother has been a
                  supporter of Elian Gonzalez's father said the Cuban boy seemed like an ordinary
                  kid in the hours after he was snatched by federal agents.

                  "With everything he had gone through, I thought he'd be withdrawn," Jessica
                  Campbell-Morrison told The Plain Dealer in Tuesday's editions. "But he was just
                  like any other 6-year-old boy on an ordinary day."

                  Jessica accompanied her grandmother, the Rev. Joan Brown Campbell, to meet
                  Elian and his father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, on Saturday. The meeting took place
                  hours after the boy was taken from his Miami relatives and flown to Maryland's
                  Andrews Air Force Base to be reunited with his father.

                  Jessica said Elian "seemed almost inseparable from his father." She said the boy
                  also cuddled with his half-brother, Hianny, who was only 2 months old when
                  they last saw each other in November.

                  Jessica's grandmother, the former general secretary of the National Council of
                  Churches, now directs the Department of Religion at the Chautauqua Institution
                  in New York. She has been an outspoken advocate of reuniting Elian with his
                  father.

                  Jessica eventually got out her camera and began shooting. "He would give me
                  this look and nod his head like he wanted to take a picture," she said. "I guess
                  he's used to it."
