Thus concludes my time with TYO serving as TYO Board Secretary as well as concert photographer and videographer the last two years (2021–2023), but most importantly as a TYO parent watching my son Ian grow as a musician and as a young man under the mentoring of TYO staff and through the friendships he has made in the last five years (2018–2023). Throughout these last five years, thank you to Jeanette Edwards and Robin Fennema for your leadership on the board and your friendship; thank you to Chris Miller for your musicianship, guidance, teaching, and giving Ian an incredible music experience; thank you to Dr. Alex Jimenez for your deep care of TYO, its future, and for the conversations we've had in the balcony before concerts; thank you to Connor Willits, Chris Tomlinson, and Ashlee Allaire in mentoring him as a percussionst and preparing him for the next level in his music career. You all are proof that it takes a village, and TYO is a mighty village indeed. Thank you for letting me serve TYO to help publicize the great things that these kids and the organization is doing in the Tallahassee/Florida Big Bend/South Georgia region. It has been a stellar ride!
