Morris Community High School graduate and science fiction writer Jacob Boyd was awarded the "L. Ron Hubbard Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contest" and his story has been published in "L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Volume XXVIII," which is available in stores now.

Boyd now lives in Oregon with his wife, Julie, who is also a Morris High alum. His mother, Marie Knudson, and in-laws, Cindy and Mark Fahey, are still Morris residents.

In April, they all attended the 28th Annual L. Ron Hubbard Achievement Awards in Los Angeles, where Boyd and the 11 other recipients received their award in front of more than 1,000 people at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre.
