When Aaron Myall enlisted in the service after graduating from high school, he knew he didn't want to spend another four years in classrooms. What he didn't know was that he would spend the next 20 years in the service and become a member of the elite Green Beret special forces unit.

Endeavoring to revitalize yet preserve the home's core character, Mimi Collins turned to interior designer Amelia Canham Eaton for a solution. Once found - an antiqued wallpaper with a green leafy motif - Eaton tried...

We didn’t. For that I apologize, W...

Of that, 90 percent is from property taxes,” Bradford said. “It’s vitally important.” The district is projected to take in $77.7 million...
