TODAY I AM HONORED TO SPEAK AT A COUPLE OF THOSE SCHOOLS THAT ARE WINDING DOWN.

ALSO I AM SPEAKING TO THORNTON DONOVAN HIGH SCHOOL TODAY AT THEIR GRADUATION CEREMONY. A GREAT HONOR NO QUESTION.  WITH THAT IN MIND I AM BLESSED TO BE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GREAT SCHOOLS LIKE TD AND THE MANY HIGH SCHOOLS THAT WORK WITH US. THE YOUTH INSPIRE ME TO KNOW THEY WILL GET INVOLVED WITH THE FUTURE, HELPING TO CHANGE THE WORLD. THORNTON DONOVAN IS ONE OF THOSE SCHOOLS THAT DOES THIS IN WAYS TO BE ABLE TO INSPIRE STUDENTS TO HELP THEM CHANGE THE WORLD, AND TO SEE THE WORLD WITH AMAZING TRIPS STUDENTS GO ON, IN COUNTRIES TO BE SEEN AND LEARNED ABOUT.  DOUG FLEMING HATS OFF TO YOU FOR YOUR INSPIRATION.
