A Take-Away From The Boston Bombing

Dr. Don Huntington Guest Writer and Speaker

The 8-year-old boy who was mercilessly killed at the Boston Marathon has been identified as Martin Richard.  Martin was in attendance in order to watch his father race; he was waiting at the finish line so that he could give his father a hug.

Martin was accompanied by his mother, brother and sisters. After the explosions, his mother and 6-year-old sister were taken to a hospital to be treated for serious injuries. It has been reported that his mother underwent surgery for an injury to the brain and his sister suffered the loss of a leg.
