Indulge us as we focus instead on a few of the stories that gave us hope and made our souls sing over the last 12 months. Here they are in no particular order.

We’d call it impossible if 13-year-old Trey Tyre and Trace Taylor hadn’t already done it, as docu- mented in our November 6 edition. You two boys have given hope to anybody, anywhere who’s been told, “it can’t be done.” Congratulations once again, gentlemen. Good luck Don’t wish these milestones away in high school and beyond.
