You never do anything small; your first rail-trail, the East Central Regional Rail Trail, a couple of decades ago still stands as the longest rail-trail acquisition in the State of Florida at 53 miles long. It’s been fun watching you transform Florida and the nation. Husein, congratulations on your induction!
