generations in our community. For over 25 years he has
encouraged students at R.J. Reynolds High School to create
lasting bonds across race, class, neighborhood, religion,

colleagues, and community members whose lives he has touched and whose minds he has opened.
WINSTONNET WinstonNet provides invaluable local leadership
on a broad range of issues related to technology in our community,

created strong connections between local universities, community colleges, the school system,
governmental agencies, and nonprofits. WinstonNet is building social capital by bridging the
technology gap, and by offering positive and life-changing interactions among individuals that
are unlikely to exist without the labs and online access. www.winstonnet.org
