I acknowledge the passing of a great spiritual man of whom I have had the pleasure to know over the past few years. Thanks must go to his grand-son, Joshua who has kept me in contact on the health of this great man. Roland you are now at peace with your loved ones and I am sure we'll meet again under different conditions. Lastly, I hope you are still wearing your beret? God bless you.
