Dr. Michael Dawson,
What a giant of a man your father was. We vividly recall him participating in our HBCU Forum and Luncheon. We learned so much from him.

Moreover, Dr. Dawson touched and changed lives.

He accomplished what he was sent here to do.

Rest, Dr. Dawson. "We´ll see you in the morning."

Dr. Leonard Dawson was a life long friend of my late father, Bert Thomas. I have very fond memories of Leonard, Daddy, and Uncle Marion Barnes cutting up and living life. They all received advanced degrees together and were very supportive of one another. He was a giant of a man who will be missed.
Condolences to the family and all who loved him.
_Adrienne Thomas-Frazier and Audrey M. Thomas
