Who says you can't come home again?

Back in the late 1980s and 1990s there was a common feeling among young people in Tampa Bay that if you wanted to make it in the world you have to leave.

That may not have been fair — or accurate — but it was how a lot of people coming out of high school and college those days felt. Among them was Byron Crowell. A Jesuit High School graduate, Crowell left Tampa in 1989 to attend the Virginia Military Institute. He later headed to California to seek his fortune.
