Okay, I'm back from vacation and ready to go to work for you. Excuse me if its taking a while to respond to the emails and letters; but rest assured I will get to them this week. As for me, I spent a good part of my time off at the beach, just outside Lewes and Rehoboth Beach Delaware. Attached is a picture from the Delaware Bay, in Lewes;

Also a picture from New York City, one of my other favorite places to spend time. That's me standing in front of the Michael Jackson tribute wall outside the Apollo theatre in Harlem.

and that's singer Freddy Jackson on stage at the "Sugar Bar" club on the west side. The place is owned by legendary singers-songwriters Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson. Thursday is open mike night and anyone can step up to perform. Freddy of "Rock With You" and "You Are My Lady" fame was one of several incredible performers in the club while we were there. Ashford and Simpson also showed as they always do.
