- 06/12/26 11:25 AM
This month's AR Challenge, hosted by Debe Maxwell CRS and Lew Corcoran, asks the question: What can you do to help make Activerain even stronger?
I joined the AR community in its early years and was not too active for a long time. As I explored the platform, I discovered the groups feature and eventually found the AR Baseball Junkies. After forming a team, I quickly learned that engagement is the key to making Activerain work. Commenting on posts, answering questions, and building relationships are what transform the site from a blogging platform into a true community.
Over the years, I had read about the many Activerain … (17 comments)

Frederick Maryland is known for it's church spires that rise into the city skyline. In 1745 founder Daniel Dulaney provided lots to different faith denominations to build churches.

Representatives from Frederick's leading churches came together to put together the frame work for a new , community owned, non-denominational, cemetery.

This was a significant Memorial Day weekend in Newport, Rhode Island. Our friends invited my wife, Melissa, and me to take a road trip to Newport for the weekend.

In the late 1980's our office was full of pranksters and one agent always took the April fools antics hook line and sinker. To protect the gullible agent's identity we will call her "Frieda". Frieda was a great sales person and had recently closed a large farm sale to a large corporation from a call she received on floor duty. The name of her point of contact at the corporation was James Carter. Back in the day before voice mail the agent on duty would take messages on the pink message slips when an agent was not in the office. On April … (15 comments)
