The 50-Large organization refers to itself as a “family” that adopts young men who are in trouble, or headed in that direction. Family members taking part in the discussion are: Larry Thompson, 50-Large coordinator; Tallahassee Police Lt. Steve Outlaw, who sits on the 50-Large steering committee; Kelly Seay with the Florida Department of Education, who coordinates the 50-Large reading program; and 50-Large Operations Manager William “B.J.” Fletcher.
