Give Me Nine?Sit back on the couch, get all comfy and close your eyes. No wait. Don’t do that because you need to read. Concentrate on the “you” way back in third grade. Just 9, but young enough to be struggling with learning long division while not having a worry in the world because all the clothes you try on magically fit and make you look great.

Guest EditorialRecently, I had the opportunity to attend the New York premier of a very special documentary called Zzaslow K427 produced by U.S. Army Veteran Robert Ham of HAMMR Productions. I had seen this documentary already during its very first showing at JBSA-Lackland, but the location and who I was with made all the difference. This documentary was about a very special dog, named for a very special man who lost his life less than three miles from where this film was shown when airplanes became weapons and the war on terror began. On that day a cloudless sky became filled by a cloud of falling towers. As the towers fell so did the tears of Adam Zaslow whose father Ira was lost that day.

Growing Up In BanderaIt irritates me no end that some people claim they want to keep Bandera unchanged as they plow ahead with developing more and more of the natural area along our river. Someone who was raised in a concrete jungle will never understand what life was like for a kid running free on the banks of the Medina River back in my day.

Bandera Paint & Body offers 15 percent discount to veterans and active-duty military"On Dec. 3, 2021, our lives were changed forever, when our 24-year-old son was involved in a head-on collision. He was airlifted to BAMC that night, and began his fight for life. Although my son is not in the military, the amount of support he received from this wonderful group of folks has been humbling."
