I was so grateful that she has agreed to serve as a mentor to my daughter Alexis who would like to follow in her footsteps. I was very impressed with the way her colleagues responded to her on the tour of her clinic. You could see how much they admired and loved her. Alexis was awe struck and so were Greg Jr. and I.  

When the tour ended and we said our good-byes we left to meet another dear friend who gave me two original copies of Martin Luther King JR’s, funeral programs. They were in mint condition. To me they are priceless. Debra and I had donated our original programs years ago to a Civil Rights museum in Selma, Alabama. They were destroyed in a fire when the Legal Corporation of Alabama’s office building burned to the ground. Attorney Carolyn Gaines-Varner, sister of Attorney Rose Sanders and then Managing Attorney at Legal Services Corporation of Alabama had taken the priceless programs to her office to put them in a new shadow box.  

Once we left my friend we went to my favorite chicken wing restaurant where to my surprise a couple came in and set a few tables over from us with their pet dog. The dog sat at the dining table and I lost my appetite. I immediately asked my server if I could speak to the manager. The manager came, I complained about the dog eating at the table. The manager looked at me as if I was a fool. ONLY IN ATLANTA!
