2023

From Florida’s Wordle champ, Ken Van Durand’s big news was the September 2022 Hurricane Ian that uprooted a huge laurel oak that barely brushed his house. Lesson learned: seven other trees were removed in the cleanup. Ken’s one consolation in the 2023 NCAA Final Four (as with all of us, his bracket blew up early) was that his alma mater, University of Florida, made the Final Four. And who will make predictions for next year?!
