“Fred Hawthorne brought amazing energy & motivation to the students at the 2009 La Serna High T.R.U.E. (Tolerance, Respect, Unity, and Equality) Conference! With his inspirational, poetic story, magnetic personality and contagious smile it is no wonder the impact. Fred relates to the students (or you can put people) and gives them a sense of honor, worth and integrity!!”
