SaveTroy.com featured in cover story of Chicago Sun Times
It is amazing to see the response that this has gotten over the past six months. Helping Troy McCullough, even though indirectly (by creating savetroy.com), has truly been one of highlights for me in 2008.
For those who don’t know, my good colleague Pete Kadens called me in April to tell me a story of a homeless...
