 The following are a few links to my favorite sites, political and non-political. Please take a few minutes and check them out.
Honoring my father . . .
My father served his entire adult life in the Air Force until his death from leukemia. He instilled in me a deep faith in the value of service to America. While I couldn’t follow my childhood dream of following in my father’s footsteps, I can help honor his memory—and provide some valuable information—with these links.
The American Cancer Society has lots of important information and can be found at http://www.cancer.org/
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society offers information, advice and discussion boards at http://www.leukemia.org/
The American Heart Association takes on heart attacks and strokes—two of the largest killers of women and African Americans. You can find them at http://www.americanheart.org/
And lest we forget, the United States Air Force Museum offers a wealth of information about the planes and the brave men and women of the United States Air Force at http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/
Education . . .
Even though I was an Air Force kid, I spent most of my school years here in Clark County, graduating from Western High School. After fifteen years of work, I returned to school, earning my Bachelor’s Degree at UNLV and my Juris Doctorate in Law at the UNLV Boyd School of Law. As a legislator, I’m very interested in our educational system from kindergarten through graduate school.
You can find out about the Clark County School District—one of America’s largest school districts—at http://www.ccsd.net/
Our community college system (Community College of Southern Nevada) has a number of campuses and a wide variety of courses for the young and for older Nevadans too. Check them out at http://www.ccsn.nevada.edu/
And, of course I have to mention my alma mater, the University of Nevada Las Vegas. You can learn about the amazing number of areas of work at UNLV by clicking on http://www.unlv.edu/
Consumer Affairs and Financial Tips
Each year the Nevada State Treasurer's office receives millions of dollars in what is called "unclaimed property." The items are usually pay checks which weren't picked up, closed bank accounts with money still in them, and insurance checks which were returned as undeliverable.
You may have money waiting for you to claim it. Just click on this link http://nevadatreasurer.gov/unclaimed to see. Many people are completely unaware that they have money in the Treasurer's account, so let your friends know too.
For families and child friendly sites . . .
 With two teenagers in the house, a toddler and a baby, Brenda and I log on often for information, advice or just fun things for the kids. Here are some of the sites we go to the most . . .
