Life Walk 2006
On Sunday (10/1/2006), I participated with a group of friends and Frisco Prider’s in the AIDS Arms Life Walk 2006. Our group raised over $2,500 for this event – a fantastic effort! Here is a group shot before the walk began. From left: Nicole, Jonas, Nick, Chris, me, Daniel, & Ian (Dawson is in front)

Maya Angelou
On Thursday evening, I sat in the UNT Colesium and listened to Dr. Maya Angelou. She spoke about Rainbow in the Clouds, and how each person shines as part of that rainbow. It was a good theme, and extremely uplifting and inspirational. I thought her presentation was very good, and she is indeed a good… Continue reading
