I have been very fortunate to have received the name and phone number of a person who is happy to answer questions regarding assistance for Andrue and the boys. I will be posting her number below. Also, I have learned that there is a new video on the KOVA television website. It shows Andrue and the boys at home. That’s a wonderful thing to see!

 This is the link to the new video of the boys at home!
Once there, click on the video link that is listed right under the title.

Recently, KGUN 9, another local TV station, sposored a benefit of sorts for Andrue and the boys, at a local “Chewy’s” restaurant. Apparently, it was very successful, as about 500 people attended. This is exactly the kind of support he will need for a very long time. Thank you KGUN!

If you want to donate items please send them to:

Some people have emailed me saying they can’t donate to the fund for the Smith family triplets at their local Wells Fargo bank because the staff has not heard of the memorial fund. I called Wells Fargo for clarification. I was told that there is a specific fund name that must be requested.

When you walk into your local Wells Fargo branch you must state specifically that you are looking for the “Debra L Smith Family Memorial”. Do not have them enter a period after her middle initial or use quotation marks. Do not put the word “fund” on the query or the computer will not find it in the search. It should simply be “Debra L Smith Family Memorial”.Also, all checks are supposed to written to “Debra L Smith Family Memorial” as well.

If that does not work for some reason there is also the Wells Fargo in Tucson. Their phone number is: (520) 792-5247. But the “Debra L Smith Family Memorial” search query should work for any teller.

Thank you

This is an excerpt from a message passed to me by a friend of Andrue Smith. Please enjoy reading an update on how the children are doing.

“…all are home with Andrue, and breathing on their own. As of Sunday, Jaisyn, wieghed in at just over 7 pounds, Tristian, at 6 pounds, 9 ounces, and Legend, just over 6 pounds.”

That’s wonderful news. These babies have gone home and are gaining weight.

Thank you for so faithfully following this story.

PS These are my previously published photos of the babies. I offer them for your viewing enjoyment. A special thank you to the person who supplied them. I am leaving in my original comments as well.

Four years ago, NASA’s Stardust spacecraft did something remarkable. It chased down a comet and collected grains of dust blowing off its nucleus. Samples of the comet dust were shipped to scientists all over the world to analyze its makeup. The studies of cometary dust are part of a larger effort to trace the history of our solar system.

Let’s face it. Everyone loves martial arts. From Bruce Lee to Chuck Liddell, people go just about crazy for the chance to see a good fight. Check out the 5 Most Dangerous kicks with pictures and video.

BTW - Video number two is amazing to watch, whether or not you know anything about marshal arts.

Is electronic voting really the answer? Crashing servers, jammed printers and failing touch screens are a few concerns. Should we be looking at some new voting technologies?
