Born and raised in Cincinnati and schooled in Bloomington, I now live in Salem with my beautiful and long suffering wife, two fast-growing sons, and a golden retriever who patently refuses to do so.
There is a fantastically good chance that the header image you see above was stolen from the excellent If We Don't, Remember Me. I sure do hope that's OK, because they are all so awesome.
Today shadowfirebird linked to an article about the Boston ironworkers who, while constructing new buildings at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, paint the names of children undergoing treatment onto the beams of the new buildings.
The article mentions the first such tribute, back in 1996. I remember, back then, this touching video about the tribute playing in movie theaters before the previews, and theater employees passing hard hats through the audience to raise money for the Jimmy Fund.
