I will have to admit I was a little leery about accepting a speaking invitation in Indiana in January. After surviving six Indiana winters from 1976-1982 when I was a faculty member at Purdue University, I had an idea about what the weather could be like. However, the opportunity to speak with agriculture teachers and students about managing priorities in life and developing leadership skills won out.
I thoroughly enjoyed speaking at the 10th Annual FFA Leadership Summit sponsored by Huntington University in Huntington, Indiana this past Thursday. The audience was receptive and the weather was not that cold, but was foggy.
I took a side trip to Syracuse, Indiana to learn more about Chautauqua Wawasee. This is a relatively new Chautauqua. While make this trip I passed a large herd of children’s’ rocking horses. Luckily I was not caught in the stampede.
