Randy Parrott
It has been two years since Parrott fell five stories while on assignment in Italy, losing 90 percent of his blood on the pavement. After over 30 hours of surgery to his face, and just as much on his leg, he continues his recovery.
Edna Hibel
“There is no such thing as a bad painting,” she pointed out in a warm, friendly voice, “just an unfinished painting.”

Surf 68’s 40th reunion made an impressive splash onto Hull shores last weekend.
Barrels and Rocks
When voters at the spring town meeting defeated a proposal to fund the familiar green trash barrels that dotted the beachscape curve, some residents predicted that Hull’s “carry in-carry out” trash policy would result in beaches overrun with garbage.
Thus far, most of those predictions have not come true. In fact, during a survey of the beach this past weekend, residents and visitors found it to be remarkably tidy.

Diploma Mill Concerns Extend Beyond Fraud
The man said he was a retired military officer from Syria, which the American government deems a sponsor of terrorists. He wanted credentials as a chemical engineer, useful for getting a visa to work in the United States. Could James Monroe University help?
For $1,277, it did. Within days, he received three undergraduate and advanced degrees in chemistry and environmental engineering, based on his “life experience,” according to documents in federal court. Although the degrees looked authentic, Monroe had no faculty or courses; the “adviser” evaluating “life experience” was a high school dropout.
