The Age of Extinction Is Here.
I heard some shocking news from my parents a couple weeks ago and saw confirmation from his sister on Facebook a few days ago. Craig and I were only a couple grades apart but, in a small town, two years could feel more like twenty. So we weren’t particularly close in school but our parents […]
