Memorable Quote: “And, you know, I've been interested in the physical aspects of weather for a very long time, since I was a toddler. And those interests, you know, stuck with me throughout my middle school years. And in my high school years, if there were any kind of notable weather events that would be upcoming in my area, the students and, and some of my teachers would say, hi, you need to go to Gavin, he's the weather guy! ” Gavin Fry.
