Never Forget The Challenger Crew

For the most part, I don’t remember seeing the Challenger explosion on TV at school, even though several of my friends say we saw it.   Maybe they did and I was sick that day. I was almost certain it was a snow day so the school had canceled classes that day. I was in the first grade and only 7 so I probably don’t remember too well.   On thisContinue reading “Never Forget The Challenger Crew”

Please Help If You Can

It’s been a little over a month since Ainsley passed. It happened on Thanksgiving weekend and shocked all of us. Ainsley was known and loved by all. Shortly before my mom passed, she would interact with Ainsley’s mother in civic events in my hometown where she would often see Ainsley and her son around. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-doug-and-jack-rebuild-after-losing-ansley?fbclid=IwdGRjcAPJJyVjbGNrA8knDWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHj1sMC_Jew-g70dmBySQm8aGEooAxWXydtMKSVQXpSzyb4Z2y8GVBo59hiDE_aem_kVzMhDTVDyT0j7wXlDMOjQContinue reading “Please Help If You Can”
