Guy Mclntyre, a former Forty-Niner player, inspired students with his personal life story on Tuesday. He came to Logan to tell his personal life story on how drugs affected and almost ruined his life and playing career. He is now challenging students in America to live their lives for a higher purpose, that is, other than “getting high” and “chasing girls” as he put it.

Mclntyre opened up his speech and said, “I Love sports … I grew up close to my high school stadium … I could hear the band playing and see the lights … and I soon began to love the game of football.”

From wikipedia:
George Santayana (born Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás in Madrid, December 16, 1863; died September 26, 1952, in Rome) was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist. A lifelong Spanish citizen, Santayana was raised and educated in the United States and identified himself as an American. He wrote in English and is generally considered an American man of letters. At the age of forty-eight, Santayana left his position at Harvard and returned to Europe permanently, never to return to the United States. His last will was to be buried in the Spanish Pantheon of the Cimitero Monumentale del Verano in Rome.
