This year our guest speaker was Mr. Williams, known to
one and all as Mr. Ring Man. Mr. Williams started is own
company, G.I.D. Incorporated, and provides our school
rings. Mr. Dan Cronin reminded us in his introduction
that Mr. Williams once wasn’t such a welcome sight here
at Bishop Loughlin – he was on the Monsignor McClancy
basketball team. Mr. Williams went on to play on the All
City Basketball Team and at Manhattan College where he
made 1140 points in his first season as the number 2
shooting guard.
Mr. Williams started with everyone standing, clapping
their hands over their head saying, “I am somebody" and
ended with us all pledging to be leaders at home, at
school, and in our communities. In between, Mr. Williams
spoke about how Martin Luther King Jr. is an excellent
role model for all of us, often illustrating his points
with personal stories. Shortening Martin Luther King Jr.
to MLK, Mr. Williams encouraged us to face adversity
with the same courage as MLK, to be difference makers
like MLK, to be leaders like MLK, to be dreamers like
MLK.
