Ray Charles Funeral

“Now heaven has a maestro. Ray, when you first get there, before you meet Count (Basie), before you meet Duke (Ellington), before you meet family and friends, there’s a man over there, across the river who is giving sight to the blind!”
-Rev. Jesse Jackson

Canadian Wilderness

"The feel of a canoe gunnel at the thigh, the splash of flying spray in the face, the rhythm of the snowshoe trail, the beckoning of far-off hills and valleys, the majesty of the tempest, the calm and silent presence of the trees that seem to muse and ponder in their silence; the trust and confidence of small living creatures, the company of simple men; these have been my inspiration and my guide. Without them I am nothing."
