Brother Dick Gregory,
We met at my collage in Michigan way back in 1972. As i listened to you share your wisdom i realized what i had to do. The impact of meeting with such a great spiritual leader as yourself on my life has proven to be the greatest influence on my life . Iam re realizing again and again over all this time just what I am saying here /NOW .
Fifty years later and Five years after your " Homecoming " i still continue to live my life in accordance with the message...

Your unfathomable spirit will live throughout the ages, although that voice, that boldly spoke truth to power,
is so dearly missed!

I continue to be enlightened, woke, by your mind and words.
I've been grieving too many deaths, including yours since Prince was taken from us. I never took the chances I had to thank him and tell him how much he meant to me. Life has not been easy for me since the day he left.
And I've been grieving and sorry that I never once reached out to thank you for what an impact you are in my life. It is everlasting.
I have no idea, but I hope the journey continues and that yours is...
