to my dear brotherp;

years ago, i met you in college, your courage, your leadership even then was an inspiration....but, what is so thrilling...is how you have quietly risen to the top....with no great fan fare...just hard work......as i type out this congratulatory response...i am beaming with pride....for I knew you back when....and I have watched you grow and work your way to the top....I salute you....my brother....we are all proud of you...

your fraternity brother

  "Knob" How could you think I would ever forget you after all we went through. Please contact me on facebook and leave me your address and how I can contact you. I have missed you a great deal. We are brothers twice: A Phi A and Pershing Rifles. You have probably forgotten we were the first Black PRs on CMSU.

To the most Honarable Brigadier General Arnold Bray, as true as our fraternal call letters translate(Alpha Phi Alpha) = first brother first, you truly have set the benchmark for all aspiring young Black men. Even back in 1973 as freshmen at CMSU your leadership and team spirit set the tone for Wayne, Larry, and myself. I am so proud of you !!!! Ace, L.A. and the entire Zeta Gamma chapter of Alpha Phi Alpa stand tall and look even higher to set goals that will eclispe even the highest star. Bless you and God keep you. Grayling Taylor (greyhound) Luv U.!!!

Grayling inspiration is never a one way street, except for a few very exceptional people. I was inspired by the men around me. Mediocrity wasn't really an option. Think about it. You were a sub 10. seec runner Wayne a sub 49 sec 440, Larry a Baller--B-Ball and Basketball, A legacy of teh only Fraternity to ever win teh scholarship award twice in a row, Ace the first 1,000 yard rusher, All our seniors graduated, Lord Cannon an honors Architectural candidate, teh legacy of 5 lawyers from our small group. That environment helped me be who I am. WHich isn't much but it is honorable to serve our great Nation and elicit others by action. Thank you.
