To the Family, I met Brother MB (Gotcha Back, Bailey in 1970 as a Freshman at WU. He and I Would Pledge the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity with Ten other young men. He and I were the only 2 to cross the BURNING SANDS of Omega. We have been Life Long Brothers every sense. We shared some extreme highs as young Collegians, young African American Male Athletes (Marvin because of his athletic prowess was know as "BOOM BOOM, Quick as a CAT" Bailey), and some very bad lows that caused him to fight against Racial Profiling. As a direct result Bro. Bailey dedicated his life to helping young men in general and the underprivileged in particular traverse the challenges of growing up in Topeka. He was/is My BROTHER, all of my Kids know him as Uncle Marvin. Marvin and My wife Renita (they did not know it) shared the same Birthday, both loved coffee and every Super Bowl would share the First and Last Cup of Coffee, before and after the game. She will always brew and Save the first and last cup for him. Rest on my Brother RQQ', RQQ !!!
