Happy Birthday, baby Jessica:
Baby Jessica, the toddler who tumbled down an abandoned water well and got trapped more than two decades ago, turns 25 today, a milestone that gives her access to a trust fund of up to $800,000 donated by thousands of sympathetic strangers who spent 2 days glued to the television until she was free.
Wow, that's a lot of money. Not that she couldn't use it (hell, I could use it) but why would people donate to her, personally, rather than to the countless hours of people's time and equipment that was used to extricate her? But anyway, what does her dad have to say about all this:
"That's all Jessica has ever wanted was to be a mom and have a family," said her father, Lewis "Chip" McClure. "She's a good mom and keeps her eyes on her kids. She's certainly a doting mother."
Seeing how she lives less than two miles from the ill fated well, she'd better do a better job keeping an eye on her kids than her momma did.
