This past Monday, Daniel Thalisimo and his fiance set a marriage date for December.  On Tuesday she was at school when the earthquake hit.  Of the 108 who were in the school, 16 were rescued.  Daniel’s fiance was not among them.
Daniel told Glenn Bridges this morning that he spent the next 48 hours, along with his mother-in-law-to-be, [...]

Dear Friends,
It seems this week everyone is looking back over the past decade.  Some make lists of the best and the worst.  Some relate memorable experiences and stories.  Some merely reflect on where we’ve come these last ten years.
I actually did this – somewhat unintentionally – a couple of months ago.  I was doing some [...]
