Floyd takes center stage

Final meetings with the graduates and the newest students. They have an afternoon conference, and requested the topic of “protecting the environment.” Right up Floyd’s alley, he jumped into an explanation of the key pillars of sustainability, and challenged the students to come up with ways they could reduce/reuse/recycle. He holds up a plastic bottle. “What are all the ways you could reuse this bottle?” One student starts with “you can make a child’s toy out of it...” and then the room erupts into one creative idea after another. After 45 minutes, we release them, but they refuse to go, huddling around Floyd, asking question after question. I tell him afterward that he’s made a real difference, and these students will remember him. Cool beans. Stay tuned.
