A
TRIBUTE TO MY TEACHER
He teacheth
my hands to war…
Psalm 18, Verse 34

This page is dedicated
to TOMMY BURKS, who through the years has been unwavering in character
and resolute in the face of opposition. Who has shared freely of
his knowledge and experience making his students into better men and women.
Through whom, I have gained some of the insight and knowledge shared with
him by Mr. Parker.
