My Human Interest Story

BOSTON — An untimely sneeze nearly cost Andrew Hanson his life.

The 42-year-old Weymouth man told authorities that a sneeze caused him to lose control of his pickup on Soldiers Field Road and plunge into Boston's Charles River on Tuesday.

Hanson was able to wade to shore after escaping from the truck, which was partially submerged in 4 feet of water.

He was not seriously injured but was taken to a hospital as a precaution.

Lawrence Callahan of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation said Hanson told him that after he sneezed, "the next thing he knew he was in the river."

My Story Through A Dogs Eyes

One day I went for a walk around Childress. I started out over by Wal*Mart and walked down Hwy. 287. I stop by McDonalds and tried to get something to eat but no one would give me any food, so I walked down to Sonic and any very nice person gave me some of their left over hamburger. After I finished my hamburger I just started walking some more. After about 10 minutes I started to hear kids, so I walked towards the sound and I found some really tall kids. Some of the kids liked me and some of them were yelling at me to leave the school.

After I got kicked off of the school grounds I went over to the park and chased the ducks for a while. It was starting to get dark so I started to walk back towards wal*mart and to my family. When I was walking up to jump into the bed of the truck and I made it just as they were pulling away.


This is a picture of me, to who ever finds this letter.

Who has packed my parachute

There have been many people that have helped to pack my parachute. Some of the names that come to my mind really quick are my parents, grandparents, my sister and some of my friends. The person that has packed my parachute more than anyone is my grandma. Even though she is no longer here with me, i know she is in a better place watching over me. She told me many things that I still use everyday and even though I didn't think it then she really did know what right and what I should do. Sometimes I wish she was still here but I know one day ill see her again and she will be proud of all the things that I have done with my life.
