A Passing: Ron Chapman

Apr 26, 2021 11:17 PM by Jeanne Prejean

A Passing: Jocelyn White

Apr 18, 2021 7:09 PM by Jeanne Prejean

There are people who just walk into a room and hardly anyone notices the new arrival. Then there are people who light up the room just standing in the doorway.

It was the whole package … [Read more...] about A Passing: Jocelyn White

Hold your horses! The annual Equest gala has galloped over to a new venue for the Friday, April 20, fundraiser. Perhaps it was the bus rides that guests had to take to Texas Horse Park.

And that “oomph” on Thursday, December 8, and Friday, December 9, at Children’s Medical Center resulted in a record-breaking sweet deal — a check for $1,262,704 for Children's … [Read more...] about The Two-Day “Christmas Is For Children Radiothon” Resulted In A Record-Breaking $1,262,704 For Children’s Health
