News & Notes
This week has been a time to remember the assassination of JFK. Hearing people remember where they were when it happened got me thinking about 1986 and the event that I remember like that. I was sitting in study hall and the teacher told us that the Space Shuttle Challenger had exploded. 

My greatest appreciation for everyone that has served our country and to honor their greatest sacrifice by having a great week!
