Two Hampton women recently scored the trip of a lifetime thanks to a generous congressman and some good fortune.
     Megan Rosenberg and her mother, Maggie Pearson, traveled to Washington, D.C., last week to witness Pope Francis’ inaugural trip to America. The duo received tickets to see the pontiff at the U.S. Capitol Building, which Rosenberg won from Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison during a special lottery drawing.
