Matt Longmire: Sign of Hope Ross Reynolds 02/02/2012     at 12:40 p.m. ShareThis When you pass by a panhandler on the street they are often holding a sign to catch your attention. Some people toss change in their hat, others lower their eyes and quicken their step. Matt Longmire didn’t. He wanted to find out who was behind those signs. Matt joins us now to...

The first thing I’d like to do is Thank all of you for your support in this project. Without you, we could have never come this far. As you know, this last weekend was the culmination of the photography portion of the Sign of Hope Project.

It looks like we’re on track to start the show today at 4pm.

As you all know, the photography half of this project has...

Jay, Nathaniel, & I are full steam ahead...
