Brad Scholarship Recipient
Today I have the distinct pleasure of announcing and publicly congratulating the 2026 recipient of the Brad Scholarship, August Nelson, a prospective graduate of Bertrand High School, Bertrand, Nebraska.

Miscellaneous commentary from me, Karen.
The sun is up, though not by much, and a ways off from us there’s a spray plane with headlights on. I’ve never seen that. It’s cool, the plane silhouetted against the not-quite-bright sky and the very bright lamps on its nose. It’s the seventh day of school, and it’s already hard to get people…
