RJV 8/8
I stand corrected. Who was the guy that went Atheist and then went back
to the spirit? I think he wrote a book called _Don't Call Me Brother_ or
some such thing. I remember talking about him in Atlanta with Jager,
Hicks, and Till... Hrm..

True success is not measured by wealth, property, or social status. True
success is measured by the contributions to society that an individual
makes.
