Good morning. It's Thursday, May 4. In our top story, a former foster child will graduate from UCF today, and the Miami police officer who became his biggest supporter will be there to see it.

Elsewhere, Pulse owner Barbara Poma is expected to announce plans for a memorial this morning to honor the 49 victims killed in last June's tragedy.

And we invite you to watch a video at OrlandoSentinel.com about a Winter Park tree crew rescuing woodpeckers.
