McGill Shots

It was the closest I could get. I had already tried the other bridge in the photo. Both were about the same distance from the accident, although from each bridge, it looked like the other was closer.

A Nebraska State Trooper made a stick cross at the grave site of an 11-month-old girl murdered by her father. Officials made many mistakes during the investigation and her father, the killer, is a free man for the moment and the case has never been to trial. It's important to note the date of this post: 12-11-09. The county may be able to take him to court eventually. We'll see.

The Cattlemen's Ball in Milford, Nebraska the spring of 2006 at Riverside Park. The ball raised over $500,000 for cancer research at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

A building catches fire during a training exercise for Seward County Volunteer Fire Departments.

Men work hard not to lose their grain on Highway 6 after a flat tire stalled the vehicle. The vehicle weighed heavy and flattened another tire in the process.

Seward County Volunteer Fire Department. My publisher sent me here on a cold fall morning. The training took a couple of hours, more than a couple because the fire chief was still checking for hot spots at 10 p.m. that night. They lit an entire complex on fire. My publisher ran one photo, this one. He should have ran an entire photo page. They are volunteers and it was Sunday morning.

The rescue volunteer peering into the vehicle was in a dress and heels. She worked across the street. An accident ensued and she darted from work to help. That's how they are.

I have attended the Seward County Special Olympics Banquet since its inception. The coaches, secretary, treasurer, parents and all are the most caring people I've ever met. The man holding the framed photo, is the master of ceremonies every year. The photo was presented as a thank you and it is a photo I took of the Olympians the year before. What fun!
