As I arrived at my gate, I noticed an older gentleman sitting down wearing a hat that said WW II veteran adorned with a Combat Infantry Badge and Bronze Star Medal. Like others, I jump at these chances to talk to these guys. We had a short conversation but I learned his name was Jack and he was heading home to Rochester, NY after spending the last 2 weeks in France commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Jack served in Patton’s Army and helped breakthrough at Bastogne. As I walked up the jet bridge upon landing, this video is what I witnessed. It was amazing and brought tears to many of our eyes as they honored a member of the greatest generation. There was an even bigger reception waiting his arrival at baggage claim.

DACC is undertaking a major initiative to crack down on the illegal dog breeding that is producing ill and poorly bred dogs. Please help spread the word and report such activities to your local animal law enforcement agency. https://lnkd.in/gvscsdQg

Graduate Certificate in Agribusiness at Louisiana State University Supported by the Welge Food Beyond the Farm Initiative Launches Gilster-Mary Lee is pleased to announce that the LSU Food Beyond the Farm Graduate Certificate in Agribusiness is now accepting enrollments for the fall of 2024. This program was conceived by the late Don Welge, former President of Gilster-Mary Lee, as a way to provide individuals with the skills needed for success in the food industry, the largest industry in the world.   The need for a strong food supply chain was made clear by the worldwide challenges experienced during Covid-19. Those earning the certificate will complete 12 credit hours of courses in food processing, supply chain and logistics, and marketing. The certificate program is a collaboration between the College of Agriculture and the E. J. Ourso College of Business at LSU. It will be delivered via LSU’s state of the art online learning platform, allowing access to students across the country and around the world. The Food Beyond the Farm Initiative was a passion of Mr. Welge’s during his lifetime. After his death in 2020, the Welge family and his friends in the food industry worked together with LSU to establish the program as a memorial to him. Don Welge was a 1957 graduate of LSU and a devoted Tiger fan and active alumnus throughout his life. He was inducted into the LSU Alumni Hall of Distinction in 2012.
