So that the world knowswhen you were away on “vacation”you changed the lives of many men by challenging them to broaden their perspectives. I can never forget you compelling me to read “Foreign Affairs” magazine every monthintroducing the entire Ft. Dix Camp of 500 men to various alternative artists through your weekly video setsour sessions in the Music Trailer, andeven how you moved freely about with the blessings of everyone.

But the most shocking revelation was learning your age the other day. Here I thoughtall of these yearswith all of your wisdomwe were somewhat, about, the same age. How ironic is it that a 50-year old man was instrumental in bringing men 10-18 years his senior into allegiance and manhood?

Thank you so much, BuddyLove ya’, Ally Al (Sheldon W. Allen).
