   I met Mr Bailey, whe I was a junior in high school here in Detroit. He was my mentor and my first real crush! He was so passionate and excited about jornalism,he inspired me to write and be the best at anything I set out to do. I had spoken to him in June of 2007, and to my surprise he remembered me, and that made me feel so important. He had just gotten his position as the editor-in-chief of the Oakland press. Miss him dearly
