What a honor to receive this honor
I was so deeply touched by this and am humbled
Floyd, I to school with you in grade 7, in Mrs. Flude’s class. Sometimes we would walk home together – I lived further north than you, so I kept walking.
I liked you then, and I am pleased to see that you have grown to be a person who participates in our community. Well done. You will remember that a few of our classmates seemed headed for a different sort of future. But not you.
Congrats.
