Hampton Roads Sustainability Expo

Agencies from all over Hampton Roads will gather at the Virginia Beach Convention Center on Saturday, September 29th, for the 1st Annual Hampton Roads Sustainable Living Expo.  The event is presented by the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia Beach Public Schools, and the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center.

Sustainability refers to the steps that people, families, communities and governments can take to meet the needs of the present and future.  This means the three R's:  reduce, reuse and recycle.  It also means community design that minimizes environmental impact, storm water runoff, and resource usage.

In the Shadow of Greatness

Sunday, September 16th @ 6am 
92.9 The Wave, ESPN Radio 94.1, Star 1310 and 97.3 The Eagle   

This Sunday on Topics, I talk with Navy Lt. Commander Josh Welle, the creator of a new book. In the Shadow of Greatness: Voices of Leadership, Sacrifice, and Service from America's Longest War, is a compilation of stories from the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 2002, and how the events of 9/11 affected their lives.

Welle, the 2002 Class President, compiled and co-edited the book. Following 9/11, he and his classmates faced the prospect of graduating from the Naval Academy and being deployed to Afghanistan as a result of the attacks. He speaks of September 11th as the glue for the narrative of what he calls the "9/11 Generation."

The book was released Tuesday on the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Demand for In the Shadow of Greatness has been very high on Amazon.com.
