Looking
Back on 2015… My
favorite photos
from 2015, By Bob Robinson
Writing is my thing, but even writing can’t elicit the memories that
photos can. I remember writing the story about Corynna Strawser, a

from two years ago of Corynna and her mom Kristi. It was recently a
Facebook Memories photo. The adage that a picture... read

St.

ten. Two Mondays ago, as I opened my door, ready to send the bus riders
out to the buses, Mr. Rosenbeck came down the hall announcing that we
were under a tornado warning and should proceed to the library. Gee, I
didn’t even realize it was raining. I have to admit that on some days
