Any of the nights spent walking the streets of Buffalo while eating and talking with the locals.

Boat tour of the Buffalo River and trip to the Colored Musicians Club. Being a tenor sax player, hearing the names of the people who played at the club was very awe-inspiring!

Considering how the past and present influence the future and incorporating more community engagement when making decisions.
