A Grateful Farewell to “JAF” Valerie Fraser Luesse
John Alex Floyd Jr. (February 21, 1948 - February 7, 2021)
I had been working for the parent company of
Southern Living for over a decade when John Floyd (aka JAF ) decided it was time for me to join his editorial staff. And when John decided it was time, well, it was time. He was the larger-than-life patriarch of the magazine, one with a formidable presence and a contagious passion for the South. He could be very persuasive.
He took the helm as editor-in-chief of
Southern Living in 1991, following his long-serving predecessor, Gary McCalla. To say John was well prepared for the job is an understatement. He was born for it. And he loved the magazine like a family member. More accurately, he loved its readers and subscribers like family members.

The Nutcracker ballet meshes the classical score by Tchaikovsky and the fluid beauty of ballerinas who share the popular Christmas tale through the beauty of dance.
