Expectations: In Recognition of the Sons and Daughters of the Old Folks You never expected to see the naked bodies of your aging parents. And, then, you find you not only see the old bodies, you have to help clean and care for them. And, sometimes, you have to carry them.

You take us multiple times to the Emergency Room and many follow-up appointments. You help interpret the...

In the women's varsity, Reece Emmons placed 10th with a 26:09, for her best time and placing of...
