The B-52 community is a second family and this loss hurts deeply - even to many outside the bonds of blood and marriage. Please pray for the families and friends of the warriors lost.

An Air Force B-52 Stratofortress carrying eight people on a routine test mission crashed today shortly after take-off at 11:20 a.m. (PDT). Initial indications are that the crash was not survivable.

It is with great sadness the Bossier Parish School Board shares news that District 8 Representative Kenneth Wiggins, its longest serving board member, has passed away.

Mr. Wiggins was first appointed to the board in 1995 to fill a vacant seat, then went on to continually serve the District 8 constituency for more than three decades as an elected board member.

Bossier Schools Superintendent Jason Rowland called Mr. Wiggins “a one-of-a-kind gentleman.”

“He was a staunch advocate for our employees and we will miss his genuine humor of rhymes that he so eloquently would provide,” Rowland said. “He was a dear friend to our school system and he will be missed.”
