Summit Day 2

Well we are half way through the first day and this being my first Summit, it has been quite the experience. This morning Dr. Carmona gave a very inspiring and entertaining speech outlining how he has kept up with Lance, and a very broad overview of his and the three other Surgeons General plan for a National Call to Action. Lance also was quick to give everyone there a quick grammar lesson on Surgeons General as opposed to Surgeon Generals.

The energy level was high, and everyone was eager to get into tracks and begin learning. I spent the morning bouncing around walking all over the Ohio State University and listening to people, and meeting even more people. I was able to snap a few photos here and there as well. This evening Dr. Harold Freeman, from the Ralph Lauren Center, will be the keynote speaker. I have heard him speak several times, and each time is that more amazing.

The campus is incredibly beautiful, and all the people here have been extremely helpful and gracious. I have talked to numerous people, and I am in the midst of composing pieces together to hopefully tell a better story. I know everyone has been busy, and engaged with all the tracks. The sea of yellow that has over taken the campus is a great sight. The tracks are finishing up, and we are all headed over to Mershon Auditorium to see Dr. Freeman.
