Good kids

I had the opportunity last week to work at Camp RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award). Camp RYLA takes the best and brightest high school seniors-to-be and sends them to a one-week leadership camp. I got to meet some really great kids from all over the Rotary District in our area.

One that caught my attention was a very athletic male that attracted a lot of attention during the week. Quinton Ross, the outstanding Lancaster wide receiver was one of the RYLA campers, sponsored by the Lancaster Rotary Club. I actually got a few minutes to visit with Quinton, and found him to be very personable, and a great leader.

Sometimes we forget the students behind the athletes that we see on the field. Meeting and visiting with Quinton reminded me of that. We have a lot of great citizens that we see on the football field, the basketball court, and the other sports venues.

I told Quinton I looked forward to visiting with him again when Ennis and Lancaster meet up in September.
