60 years later, marching in Grandma's footsteps
When the Grand Island (Neb.) Senior High School marching band was invited to participate in the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl parade, it didn't just mean a 27-hour bus ride for trombone player Erica McMahon. (Being a 15-year-old, she actually was looking forward to this.)
Wearing a T-shirt for profit, style
If the economists are right, 2009 could be another rocky year. But Jason Sadler, a 26-year-old from Ponte Vedra Beach, has a plan to make some extra cash. He is taking the old expression "selling the shirt off your back" and putting a modern, Twitter-age twist on it.

Give extra thanks in hard times
Any day now I expect to see a news story saying that the age-old question about the glass being half empty or half full has become moot.
More than a trumpet player
Even in these tough economic times - perhaps especially in these tough economic times - the Beaches Fine Arts Series remains one of our area's great success stories.
Fresh-faced leaders make one pine for Gerald Ford
Barack Obama represents a first in my lifetime. A first which, quite frankly, I'm having trouble coming to grips with. He's younger than me.
Longtime friends didn't say much, but that says a lot
No one seems to remember exactly how or when the two men started the routine, just that they continued it.
