ANOTHER DEATH IN THE FAMILY

I was so sorry to hear of the death of Dorothy's Mother.

My Mother used to say, "If we can make it through spring we'll be OK."  We've lived through so many spring time deaths.  The saddest time of all for death when the world is being reborn.

JESSIE WINCHESTER PASSED AWAY TODAY. HE WAS 69

SECOND HOMICIDE THIS MONTH

La Crosse isn't gaining in population but it's experiencing some of the bad things folks usually associate with big city life.

The second murder this month, in La Crosse, involved a 20 year old Western Tech student.

This latest tragedy hit close to home.  The murder was in my neighborhood and the victim was a graduate of West Salem High School.  It also reminded me of the murder that took place in my apartment complex while I was living in Houston.  Read the full story HERE in the La Crosse Tribune.
