My heroes are people who believe in fighting for rights and questioning authority.Those who view life as an experience and not an experiment.The selfless people who have given time in their lives by helping others.People that jump in for the cause and not just the pay-off.Juan Man from the "Free Hugs Campaign". Simply Beautiful!My brother, Jerry, always.....
