Extra Expressions of Gratitude



Special Thanks & Godspeed to the Owens Family &
The Shapiro's who have helped me when I was
going through some difficult times.


Also a very special thanks to the Black Family,
especially Randy who I took a few of my chops
from and last but not least, Mr. Dave Freeman
aka The Crisco Kid for his support through the years.

Special Thanks to .....

I've been remiss in adding some of my life experiences, due to the fact that there are many that I'd forgotten.  Some of these are the most important!

When I was in my twenties, my mother and I toured the West Indies.  She was on her quest for her walk with God and I was on my quest for supporting her walk.  She preached, I prayed and played.  Some of my most spiritually uplifting moments were with my mother, Dr. Wilma Taylor, on her journey for and with God.  I would imagine that's why I'm still on that walk. 

We were in St. Thomas, Antigua, St. Croix, St. Marteen, San Juan Puerto Rico.  Many blessings came from my travels with my mother; of which I am thankful.

All these experiences have made me who I am.  My trips in 'The Virgin Islands" have given me depth and appreciation for all Black people of African heritage and that's why I still strive to set a right example for our people.
