"I was saddened to hear of BB's death. He was a mentor and example to me in the glazier's union back in D.C. during the 80's. He taught us with quick wit and comments like, "how you gonna act son!" and "it only costs a little more to go first class!" I learned a lot for buddy and owe him a great deal. He always gave more than he got. Joe Glaze (Fort Collins Colorado)
