Cheyenne boy with brain tumor raises nearly $50K at Laramie County Fair
Nine-year-old Kenneth Watt was determined to sell his pig at the Laramie County Fair,,, “He told nobody about his condition, diagnosis or anything. This was purely about him and his pig,” Kenny’s mother, Joanne Watt, said last week. Kenny has an inoperable brain tumor, which was diagnosed when the boy was just 3 in 2016. This week, the family got some pretty hard news: Kenny’s tumor has grown 20% since his last scan in June and 28% since May 1. When his diagnosis worsened in May, Kenny began putting together a “vision bucket list,” which contained all of the things he wanted to do and see before potentially losing his vision. Some of the items on his list included visiting the Grand Canyon, seeing the Eiffel Tower and the Great Wall of China and going crab fishing. Photos, >click to read< 16:17
New Antarctic For McHugh Family – Youngest members of the family raised the Irish flag on the vessel
Eamon Óg and Gerard Jr raised the flag on Antarctic’s mast, supervised by their grandparents Teresa and Eamon McHugh, who have together been at the head of this family business for 25 years. Eamon McHugh is a well-known figure within the pelagic fishing community, with forty seagoing years behind him as he has worked up from sailing as mate on Paula to running his own pelagic vessel. He will continue to skipper the new Antarctic, the 
fifth vessel in the family’s ownership. The Antarctic Fishing Company goes back to 1987 when he acquired the first Antarctic from his brother Kevin McHugh, subsequently replacing it in 1997 with their first newbuild. Today Eamon and Teresa’s sons Eamon J and Gerard are closely involved in the company’s operations, with Eamon J managing the shore side and Gerard sailing as skipper. >Click to read<,,, Read more about Antarctic– 13:39
