this past holiday weekend, i received an email invitation to an informal social gathering to visit with bro. demetrius newton, 24th international president. i first met bro. newton during the 2005 general board meeting in atlanta. we shared a table and chatted one-on-one for a few minutes at a reception and it was definitely one of the bright spots of that weekend.
as we were sitting around listening to his stories, it occurred to me that we’d profiled bro. newton on this site in march 2009. when i told bro. newton about this, his reply was “oh yeah? you should check out my Facebook page.”
