Let Me Share a wonderful and enlightening emperience. It envoled with a chance encounter, with JUSTICE THURGOOD MARSHALL, our first black Supreme Court Justice, it happenened in 1978 or 1979, The Seton Hall Law School, in Newark New Jersey, was being innaugrated, and Justice Marshall was to deliving the opening cerromonies, worried that I might have to releive my selve, I rushed into the faculty restroom, No longer had I stepped up to two of the utrinals, in walked these 2 "SUITS' Then walked in, one of the most Majestic firgures, I had ever or yet seen first,JUSTICE THURGOOD MARSHAL After a short greeting, while standing next to each other, I ask him if he had any advice for a future lawyer, After we were done standing near the sink, while being scruitenized by the Men In Black, He said his first, NEVER TRY TO OUTRUN YOUR OWN SHADDOW, second IF YOU CANT MAKE YOUR POINT, IN TWO WORDS OR LESS, ITS YOU MISSING, YOUR YOUR POINT,,finally and most importantly. SAY SO LOVE THOSE YOU LOVE, EVERY DAY, AND YOULL NEVER BE ALONE' I guess I never heard his words till i stroke/coma recovered as best, Now that He has passed, Please pass down his advice
