Microsoft Chairman John W. Thompson gives Florida A&M Commencement speech

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Three people who have risen to some of the most notable positions in sports, media and business were in town Saturday to send a group of Florida A&M and Florida State graduates off to another phase of their professional lives.

Microsoft Chairman John W. Thompson and Mikki Taylor, an editor-at-large for Essence Magazine, spoke to the two FAMU ceremonies Saturday, while legendary FSU football coach Bobby Bowden gave his speech to FSU’s morning graduates.

Thompson, 64, used his own life’s story to drive home his keys to a successful and happy career, keys that led him from a Tallahassee stereo store to the head of one of the largest and most successful companies in the world.
