Meet Nurse Rachel, my beautiful niece and a very talented young lady. A few years back she was not quite sure what she wanted to do in life but nursing was always on her radar. When she finally committed to the journey she never looked back. She completed all her course work by last December and now only needs to pass her licensing exam. Also, she has already accepted a position with INOVA here in Virginia. She’s all set. Congratulations Rachel and good luck on your exam. Your Momma, Aunts and Uncles are super proud of you as are your grandparents💕.

In September 2025 I gave witness to the wedding of my niece (and Godchild) Mary Pat to Joe in a beautiful mountain location across from Pikes Peak. I managed to capture a few photos of a wonderful time. I wish them both all the best and a long life together.

Each time I see my images in a National Jamboree ad it brings back great memories of Jambo 2023. Looking forward to returning on staff in ‘26!

Bring your expertise to the 2026 National Jamboree and help inspire the next generation through hands-on experiences in welding, construction, and other skilled trades. Join a team that keeps the adventure running smoothly.

July 22–31, 2026 at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia.

I'm inclined to agree. :)

A recent study found the following....

What we see in the data and from the stories parents send us is both simple and poignant: Kids being raised on screens long for real freedom. It’s like they’re homesick for a world they’ve never known.

Granting them more freedom may feel uncomfortable at first. But if parents want their kids to put down their phones, they need to open the front door. Nearly three-quarters of the children in our survey agreed with the statement “I would spend less time online if there were more friends in my neighborhood to play with in person.”

Scouting is the door.

What’s on the other side is confidence, character, and community.
