by Jack Hoehn, May 7, 2017: “The world’s biggest disease is not a disease; it is corruption. The antidote to this disease is transparency.

By Jack Hoehn In Loma Linda, California, is a park named for an Adventist woman who lived to be 102 years old. A bronze statue of a 90-year-old small woman with a broad-brimmed hat and hiking stick will tell you this park is named in honor of Hulda Crooks. It was modeled after a photo […]
