Docs

 My brother from another mother achieved a doctorate in education.  He was a Vietnam vet who wanted to not only improve himself, he strove to help others.

He had been a preacher and teacher including college level.

He was a healer, counseling troubled souls.

Though he achieved much, he never sought personal fame.  Yet, he could hold his own among the famous.

He always encouraged education, both academically and personally.  Self responsibility was part of his core.

When giving socalled breaks, he expected people to hold their own.  And thereafter they had to do the right thing, to be an example to others.  

Breaks were not handouts.  They were opportunities to learn and share same.

He was a husband, father and was a father figure to many.

To me, he was a big brother.

No matter how low, he would inspire, raise up.

He was Black and American Indian.  I was white and American Indian.  

But what he emphasized was humanity.  

Docs?  What one does with it is the point.
