Never Forget

The students starting college now were not yet born during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. What does “Never Forget” mean a generation later? The next pieces dissect Queen Elizabeth’s life and legacy, including who she was beneath the hats and robes and a perspective on mourning a woman who didn’t represent honor to everyone. I’ll admit that “The Mushrooms That Ate Luke Perry” lured me by its title, but the tale about a green burial does not disappoint. Zoom to the last story to learn why some people are like candy to mosquitoes.
