‘You’ve got to have a positive attitude’
It’s been over 27 years, but Andy remembers the day his wife’s mobility took a turn for the worse.
At the time, Andy and his wife, Rena, were living in Houston, about a year after their daughter, Annie, was born.

WACO, Texas — For the past two years, Waco native and Chicago Bear defensive lineman Andrew Billings has had an initiative with J.H.

It’s an incentive that Billings says starts to implement early so these kids have a bright future ahead.
BROADCAST SCRIPT “What kid doesn’t want a bicycle?,” said J.H. Hines Principal Cynthia Wise.
