Eric Stringfellow went to Provine with my sister, if he's who I think he is. He was Mr. Provine in 1978. He's a good man, and obviously has a lot of courage of his convictions.

Stringfellow is a good guy, but, based on a reading of most of his columns, I would generally place him in the liberal camp. It's very good to see that he is willing to criticize black racist thugs like Stokes.

Here's an interesting corollary... Kenneth Stokes' father was a painter, and many years ago my grandfather frequently employed him to paint some of the various properties he owned/managed. Kenneth, who was a child at the time, used to accompany his dad to work. My mother, who was a teenager then, remembers little Kenneth well. She said he was a nice child, and she is at a loss to explain how he could turn into such a racist gasbag politico. I suppose evil works in mysterious ways?
