Editor's Note - March 2026

 

Since starting The Buzz 25 years ago, our mission has been to inspire and connect people in our communities by sharing their stories. In all those years, there has never been a story that hit everyone as hard as the tragedy of the 27 Camp Mystic girls who lost their lives in the July 4th floods. Everyone has a connection, in some way, to the girls and their grieving families. Time has gone by since the tragedy, but the grief and shock, for so many, hasn’t lessened. Many of us have wanted to do something to help but haven’t known how or what. In this issue, read One Step at a Time: Running for Heaven’s 27 by Andria Dilling featuring Team 27, a group who ran the Houston Marathon and Half Marathon, fundraising for the Heaven’s 27 organization in the girls’ honor. Special thanks to Buzz writer Annie McQueen for your involvement in and passion for Team 27 and for your help coordinating the story. [email protected]
