Andy Hoffman, whose young son, Jack, scored a stirring touchdown during a Nebraska spring game while battling brain cancer, died Monday of a different form of brain cancer.
Hoffman, a 42-year-old lawyer who had devoted his time to the Team Jack Foundation to raise money for pediatric brain cancer research after his son s 2011 diagnosis, received a diagnosis of glioblastoma, an especially aggressive form of brain cancer, after becoming ill while running last July.

London theatre review: Quartermaine s Terms, starring Rowan Atkinson

“I believe there’s much potential for communities along Highway 20 if they invest and have vision. And that’s what we’re here to do. If people don’t step up, there won’t be anything left of rural America,” Keating said.
Keating knows about investing. The veteran real estate investor has a knack for transforming run-down properties into prosperity, including in Lincoln.
