We have all seen or read tragic news stories about a child being killed by this or that means, or dying of a dreaded disease like cancer or leukemia.

  2. Peter Rothenbacher (guest columnist)

When I was a boy, like seemingly every other boy on the planet, I liked dinosaurs. Back then, I only knew of a few different kinds, the main ones being Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Pterodactyl and Brontosaurus.  Brontosaurus was a very, very large plant eater that walked on four legs and had a very long neck and tail.  Now, years later, as the...
