Hey, what ever happened to Shariff Willis/Gangs for Peace and all that
stuff? SSB and him organized some sort of 'get out of gangs free'
organization in the say, early 90s. Anyone know?
How about a group called MAD DADS - Men Against Destruction -Defending
Against Drugs and Social disorder?
I have a friend whose husband is African American who was refused to be
served breakfast(although they said they'd still serve HER) in Brainerd in
1982. Irony is he lives in Brainerd now; they're divorced. I often wonder
how he can stand it.

commission on this property no matter whom he sold it to. There was no
