“We've spent the last 100 years near the bottom,” Dr. Sexton told The Courier-Journal's Pam Platt in an interview last year. “Let's spend the next 100 years much closer to the top. We've shown we can do this.”That's from today's C-J's editorial, and so exactly what my spirit needed to hear this morning.

I witnessed a great tribute to Bob Sexton when I was at the Commonwealth Institute for Parent Leadership-STEM in Bowling Green yesterday. The Prichard Committee staff, though in the throes of grief, carried through the full day's agemda with fortitude and grace. It was a picture of "keeping on keeping on" in Bob's words. What better way to "spend the next 100 years getting much closer to the top."
ReplyDeleteI too, was in the first graduating class of Waggener High School. Bob Sexton served in many extra-curricular activities during his Sophomore, Junior and Senior years. However, he was not the class valedictorian, two girls (anonymous) shared that honor in 1960.
