Turns out it was lost a YEAR ago, when a woman accidentally dropped it while wading in the water during a boating trip.  She and her husband said they had lost all hope of it ever being found . . . and they were THRILLED that Rivers discovered it and returned it…………….And finally………….. 

Habitat for Humanity got a team of workers from Total Roofing and Construction in Illinois to get an Air Force veteran a new roof for his home.  The vet, Bruce Suggs, has been struggling ever since his 11-year-old granddaughter Jenesis was diagnosed with leukemia.  But his leaky roof was fixed as part of the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project, which since 2016 has put new roofs on the homes of 550 military veterans. Suggs gets emotional when he talks about it, because the job could’ve cost around $20,000.  Suggs says, “It’s like winning the lottery.”
