Good morning. I'm Scott Maxwell, the Sentinel's metro columnist. And while I'm often the grim reaper of political news, today I have a feel-good piece. It's the story of John Thrasher, a former GOP House Speaker who went on to become Florida State University's president. Thrasher won over many skeptics during his tenure … including me. I chatted with Thrasher, former Gov. Jeb Bush, the faculty president and even Thrasher's Orlando daughter about what made his tenure such a success. You can read the piece here.
