I REMEMBER IT AS VIVIDLY AS IF IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY. I SAT ON MY BED AT ST IGNATIUS COLLEGE LISTENING TO THE LIVE RADIO COMMENTARY OF HIS RELEASE FROM PRISON WITH TEARS STREAMING FROM MY EYES. TEARS OF JOY FOR A MAN I HAD NEVER MET BUT WITH WHOM I IDENTIFIED WITH COMPLETELY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADIBA AND THANK YOU!!!!
