 September 11, 2001—a day that not only changed the United States of America, but the entire world. That day will always be near and dear to my heart because I was born on September 11, 1997. I can vividly remember my fourth birthday quite clearly, probably one of my earliest...

Hometown Pride

 Moundsville always has been, and always will be my home. It’s true that for relatively brief periods of time I have resided in other areas—Morgantown during college, Atlanta during my first year of law school, and Wheeling for a few years when I got married—but I have never wavered when...
