Welcome to The List,
What would you pay for a 1993 Ford Bronco? I think you know where I'm going with this . . .We're talking about O.J. Simpson's infamous white Bronco. It's currently on loan to the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Tennessee, but its owners are thinking about selling, and they're hoping to get at least $1.5 MILLION for it. They claim the plan was always to sell this year, because it's the 30th anniversary of the chase. O.J.'s death was just a coincidence. And possibly a lucrative one.

Jelly Roll is down almost 70 pounds. And on top of that, he just said he is quote, "planning on losing another 100-something pounds." It's going to be crazy when he debuts his new skinnier self. Back in January, he was challenged to compete in a race called the "Two Bears 5K" that takes place in May with comedians Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura. And he’s taking the challenge seriously. Saying "I don't know if 'running' is going to be the word, but I'm definitely going to get the 3.1 miles done . . . probably a brisk power walk. My goal is to be able to do a 15-minute mile."

JANUARY RECIPIENT:
Kim Hurley – 2nd Grade Teacher – Franklin Elementary School
NOMINATED BY:
Toshia Arends (co-worker)
TOSHIA’S LETTER:
I am a para at this school and I see this teacher, as well as all of the staff at this school, go above and beyond every day for the students. She definitely has her hands full with 2nd graders as attention spans are short, they talk constantly and out of turn and they like to see how much pressure a pencil can take before it breaks (among destroying other supplies she is constantly replacing). She is a very, calm, sweet, loving and caring woman with the patience of an angle for sure. And I believe she just deserves a little thank you.
