Harry Teinowitz was kind. He was welcoming. He was genuine. He made people feel good about themselves. He cared. He was the friend who always remembered your birthday and was always trying to put a smile on your face. He was a true original -- and I will miss him.

This was amazing! Today, the @ChicagoBears visited @PrairieTrails26 to name teacher Tracy Frew as a recipient of their "Classroom Legends" recognition. Watch as Mrs. Frew is surprised by her family and former Bears WR Rashied Davis. Congrats, Mrs. Frew! youtu.be/TH20CHKNzBE

Schefter Family is in for $5K to bring the Parker Dickerson Fund over $1 million. Parker’s life was forever changed twice this week, first when he lost his second parent, then when over 14,000 people came together to try to make his future a little easier. THANK YOU to all. 🙏
