SUMMARY: In Oklahoma, Herb lost his wife, Gale, to early-onset Alzheimer’s after 13 years of caregiving. Gale was a wife, mother, and speech pathologist diagnosed at 52. Herb retired from the oil and gas industry to care for her and now volunteers for the Alzheimer’s Association Oklahoma Chapter, leading six support groups and giving speeches nationwide to help overwhelmed caregivers—services all free. His dedication earned him a Pay It Forward award from First Fidelity Bank. Herb also found love with Terry, another volunteer and caregiver who lost her husband to Alzheimer’s. Their work supports caregivers, who often suffer deeply alongside patients.

SUMMARY: A federal lawsuit has been filed following a 2023 officer-involved shooting at a Choctaw High School football game. Two years ago, 16-year-old Cordy Carter was killed in the chaos, with no charges filed. Demetrius Carter, unrelated to the victim, was also shot and injured by Del City police. Carter’s attorney alleges civil rights violations, claiming officers Sean Hope and his partner used excessive force without provocation, possibly influenced by racial bias. The lawsuit names the City of Del City, police officials, and the school district. Key body camera footage remains sealed, and investigations are ongoing amid pending litigation.
