(7,288 posts)37. Yesterday and this morning, I was thinking of calling or writing him
I wish I was one of his neighbors or at least live close enough to join in.
My respect and admiration for him is beyond any ability to express.
As an aside, I was stunned when he brought up Dar Williams name in his commentary referring to her as a friend, whom I had been acquainted with some years ago.
I loved how he brought up SNIC, and addressed the issues they were involved with. Giving honor to Julian Bond (who I had the pleasure of meeting at a social event also some years ago) and John Lewis.
What a precious soul he is and treasure we have.
I could listen to him speak for hours.
