Herman Boone Convocation

       Meeting Herman Boone was such an amazing experience. There were 606 students, community people, faculty and staff that attended the convocation. Other then that, we also had a dinner prior to the convocation and a reception following it. He is such an inspiration. He talked about how he changed so many lives in Alexandria, Va. During the first year that Alexandria, Va integrated T.C. Williams high school, he was the football coach. He considers what he did for the young athletes as one of the hardest but most rewarding jobs he has ever done.

      Other then his stories about how he had changed the lives of the young men on his football team, he  also talked about how he previously had been to Bridgewater in the 1970's. He told stories about how the players were scared of Bridgewater because they saw a horse and buggy going down the street at night and thought it was a ghost cart. He also told a story about how he mad a young man run to the mountain, not realizing how far it is. Overall, he was an awesome man whose made such a difference.
