Just

below
on
the
audio
clip
of
one
of
FAR's
2005
state
grand
prize
student
essay
winners,
which
was
recorded
by
an
audience
member
at
FAR's
Board
of
Directors
Meeting
during
the
2005
annual
Convention
&
Trade
Expo.
While
the
audio
quality
is
less
than
ideal,
we
thought
you'd
enjoy
hearing
part
of
Layne
Zhao's
award-winning,
heartwarming
essay
anyway.
After
all,
it's
all
about
the
message..
