Logan Burke

2/27/13

On way walking to CRB library; walked past "The Omega Psi Phi Memorial Service for Mr. Burke will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at Grace Presbyterian Church (Carver School Road)" in which as walking past =LOT of authority activity=5th AFrican American male of authority seen since intimidation and harassment=2005;in black suv;

Logan Burke was my sixth or seventh grade teacher; think it was seventh grade; think he had my brother as student aslo; the brother that the fed. gov. held in a room for about four hours; interrigating him [he never recovered]; it was two white males [the secretary at the school-called my mama and told her]; being that Burke has a BRIEF period of illness-he probably was given an illness vs his actually having developed an illness.


Twin stolen used to build TWIN city for African American community,since they are not allowed in the white TWIN city; why they said, "Mr. Burke moved to Winston-Salem and has resided in the Twin City since 1957." vs. saying Mr. Burke lived in Winston-Salem, N. C., TWIN CITY = code to group developed off of TWIN stolen. surprised they didn't say burke's TWIN sons are:[?];

Godwillst
