Cool!

Around here the last few years it's become something quite popular, the 
Homecoming King's are disabled, have MR (unknown diagnosis), fatal diseases 
etc. This year alone 2 neighboring communities have done that.

One young man with leukemia passed away just 1 week after being named 
Homecoming king.
Molly came home in tears after volunteering last week at College Night for 
NHS because some of the Linden students were coming in wearing black with 
red armbands, she asked if it had something to do with Eli and sadly it did.
Apparently his story made national news as well.

Interestingly.........it's only the challenged guys who are getting the 
Homecoming King vote, not been a single Queen voted in who's not the 
pretty/popular gal choice. Beauty queen social commentary????
Last year our schools Homecoming King was a student recovering from TBI from 
an auto accident.
