Damn..I forgot to add in:
- Sam Cassell and I lived in the same neighborhood and went to Dunbar Sr. High. We both graduated in 88.
- before he went to the School of the Arts, Tupac Shakur attended Dunbar in 86, he and my cousin were in the same homeroom, and no...he wasn't the deep thinking 'intelligent thug' that most people know and love...if you ever saw Juice, you can almost get an idea of how we was minus the toughness....hehe just imagine he ran around with a Gumby high top fade and a rat tail.
- Curly Neal from teh harlem Globetrotters also visted our school and gave a pep rally speech to our basketball team.
- I met Al Gore back in 1992 when he was still a senator as he stopped at Morgan State Univ. I got his pics some of which were published in our yearbook and I still have his autograph
