  1. Seeing how this is my mother and my brother…the family really appreciates you taking our family photo and editing the rest of us out. And please do your homework; the same day this happened, the supreme court ruled that minors cannot be given life without the chance for parole or the death penalty.

  2. Hey Howard,
    In addition to Tamara’s point, I strongly recommend proof-reading your “work” before you publish it. In your very first sentence, you suggest that Coleton “is jail.” You have shown that you know how to use a dictionary (or at least how to use Google) to find big words, now see if you can handle that whole “writing thing.”

    -Good luck!
