1. The Dixie Chicks - Once Upon A Time



When the Dixie Chicks first started, there were four. And they sang songs like "Thank Heavens for Dale Evans!" I was privileged to meet them more than once, and here is a bit of that story.

 

2. Hockey's Labor Dispute



In 2004, the NHL had a labor dispute, and I was fortunate to discuss a few things with the likes of Sports Writer Mike Heika. He then wrote for the Dallas Morning News, but is now working strictly for the Dallas Stars hockey team. I hope you enjoy the exchange.

 

3. Lisa's Responses to 9-11



When 9-11 hit, my Internet friend Lisa lived near the destruction, and lost many of her friends due to that attack. She had a blog at the time, and we exchanged Emails, and the combination of the two are presented on this page. I keep this tribute on the HeroesWest site lest anyone forget or minimize the terrific suffering which took place as a result of that invasion.

6. WMD Photos and Quotes



In yet another set of Emails from back in the days of America Online, I received very interesting photos and quotes on the subject of Weapons of Mass Destruction. I trust you will find them at least a bit of food for thought.
