Not sure what to say?

My mentor.
Keith and I worked on lots of projects.
One of them is the World Association to End Discrimination. I am looking for the pins and cards he used for this. I would love to republish. Will any of his family reach out to me at 612-386-3998. I appeared in his books, he helped with my Outdoor Summer Concert promotions and many other crazy ventures.; thanks
