Every Convention since 1975 with RT Floyd – 391

RT Floyd is a NATA Hall of Fame Member and has some stories for the years.  He has been to every NATA Convention since 1975.  He also received some Cowboy boots during the NATA foundation party.  He joins the Sports Medicine Broadcast to discuss his time serving the NATA and the Foundation.
