"I HAVE A DREAM ..." (IN MEMORY)

"I am not interested in power for power's sake,
but I'm interested in power that is moral,
that is right and that is good."

"Our lives begin to end
the day we become silent
about things that matter."

"Whatever your life's work is, do it well.
A man should do his job so well
that the living, the dead, and the unborn
could do it no better."

Always most thoughtful, dear Bren. I'm honored to have you as a dear friend. I'm on my way over ...
