It's been more than 20 years since I last played flute in an ensemble. Last Tuesday, I performed with the Britton Community and Alumni band. No, I'm not a Britton grad and I'm barely part of the community. My kids go to school there. Britton is one of my newspaper beats. I feel like I'm much more acquainted with Britton than the town I reside in. I guess that makes me community enough to participate in the band.

We would like to thank everyone for their support, prayers, thoughts, concerns and well-wishes during Rick’s recent surgery and hospital stay.
