Good luck to Voorhees HS (NJ), Drexel University (PA), my grad school alma mater Fordham University (NYC), and Wilmington Friends/Tower Hill/Tatnall/Sanford (DE) for their B+ events this weekend. Thank you VERY much.
I have been asked by the Helland family to speak at their beautiful daughter, Taylor's, memorial service tomorrow evening outside of Arlington, TX. It is my great honor to represent all of you at this celebration of this courageous B+ Hero. Please keep the Hellands in your prayers.
Please keep all of our B+ Heroes in your prayers, but today, I would like to ask for extra prayers and good wishes to go out to my friend, B+ Hero, Leon Huhn.
Thanks.
