I was sorry to hear of the too-early death of Julian Bond, one of the most prominent civil rights leaders of the last century, who went from heading the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to serving in the Georgia Legislature for many years.
A couple of years ago he was the guest speaker on our cruise to the Amazon. It was a privilege to spend a couple of hours with him in an intimate setting as he reminisced about his crusading days.
A couple of days later we were taking a bus excursion on the very hilly island of Grenada, driving way too close to the precipitous edge of narrow winding roads, when we saw this dog sleeping on a roof. This has nothing to do with Julian Bond but it makes me smile.
