I met Ramon when he was a senior at FAMU DRS and my son was a fifth grader at the school and interested in playing the trumpet in the band. Ramon took him under his wings and spent time with my son and helping him learn to play. I knew he was special then and to see his accomplishments now is wonderful. Great job Ramon Alexander!
