To the editor:
At the start of this campaign, we asked and many responded. We would like to first thank all of you who have generously supported Prairieland United Way during this campaign. Thank you for making a difference for so many.
We know that 2020 was a challenging year for us all and the start of 2021 continues to be so. United Together, Now More Than Ever describes how we all must dig deep to support the local programs that impact our communities, even moreso during this pandemic. Your donation is an investment in our friends, our neighbors and our communities.

A Friend Made All the Difference
STEPHEN BALDWIN, ACTOR
So often, when God speaks, we fail to see the angels He sends or, perhaps, the donkeys. We don’t see the truth in the advice of a friend, the guidance of a mentor, or, in the case of Stephen Baldwin, the words of a housemaid.
Stephen began his acting career in television, eventually starring in shows like
The Young Riders. After finding roles in numerous smaller or independent films, he landed his breakthrough movie role in
The Usual Suspects, which went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. But as his professional life soared, Stephen’s personal life fell in the opposite direction.
Bill Champlin is on the phone calling from his home in Santa Barbara, California. And while it’s ostensibly to discuss his new solo record
Livin’ for Love available digitally from Imagen Records and physically from BillChamplin.com he first has something to say about visiting our fair city’s environs.
“My wife and son and I just drove to Houston for Christmas. And that’s a long ass drive!” he laughs. “Hell, California is pretty much locked down, so we went to Texas on a whim.” It turns out that his wife, singer/songwriter Tamara Champlin, grew up in Friendswood and graduated from Friendswood High School before attending the University of Houston, so they visited her family for the holiday.
