OKLAHOMA CITY -
Loved ones held a memorial Saturday to honor the life of a man who died in a motorcycle accident last weekend.
People close to Joe Looper decided to honor him by doing what he loved: Riding. He was on a bike with his mom and dad when he was a year old, family friend Aaron Cosar said. It was in his blood.
Friends and family traveled through the metro for what they re calling “Joe s Last Ride.” When a brother like this falls, it could have been one of us, Cosar said. It could have been our last day. It could have been the funeral for our family members, so we just want to show support.

The email from Jeanne Lambrew, the commissioner of Maine s Department of Health and Human Services, contained an announcement that Bean had been one of the four people picked for the trip. I did a little jumping dance. I wouldn t want to see a video, of it, she explained, recalling that she ran around her house screaming with excitement that she was actually going to the Super Bowl on the Patriots team plane.
Bean has been a lifelong Patriots fan and used to host Patriots parties at her house on game days prior to the pandemic.
Governor Mills: COVID-19 is not taking Super Bowl Sunday off.

Boy I don’t know anybody who doesn’t love a Super Bowl party. And, while I have no favorite, I’ll be very excited to watch the fireworks between Tom Brady, making his tenth Super Bowl appearance, and the much younger Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City with its superior record of 16 wins and 2 losses.
Hey this is Janet Mills, Governor of the great State of Maine. Thank you for listening.
Regardless of the odds and the outcome of the game, you should know that the NFL is taking every precaution to avoid this Sunday’s game becoming a super spreader event, with the COVID-19 virus scoring extra points.
