Hello, Ben.



I came over from Rachel's Tavern to pay a visit.



You have a wonderful site.



Thanks so much for the information on Ms. Linda Dehnad's passing. I will send an e-mail of condolence to her husband, Mr. Scott B. Smith today.



It is so easy for many of us to forget all the many brave men and women, black and white, who came together to fight for the rights of black people in their struggle to obtain the most basic of human rights so long denied them.



Even to this day, I have not forgotten them, Viola, Vernon, Medger, Fannie, Ella and so many I can name.



I owe them all a debt which I can never pay, and as the right to vote was the most precious thing in the world to them, I never let my chance to exercise my right to vote pass me by.



For if not for all the sacrifices all those wonderful people did, today, I still would not have the right to vote.



I thank them all, God rest their souls.
