I live in Pa and didn't realize he had passed on. So sorry to hear that. Was it recent or long ago? My prayers are with his family and I'm sure he is in God's hands.

I just happened to run into Jackson on the street one day about 20 years ago.  We chatted for a few minutes and he mentioned there was some talk about a 20th reunion.  Seems he told me he was working with troubled youth.  Trying to help them to a better life. 

It wasn't long after that, a few months, maybe a year, I saw in the paper where he had been murdered.  I don't recall ever seeing anything after that, so I assume no one was ever brought to justice.

Thanks, Charles.  I'm so sorry -- he was so kind....and idealistic -- I remember that voice of his and slow, southern drawl, very self-assured.   May God bless him and his family.
