Congratulations Dr. Francis for your greatness and caring. You are a very nice individual . We met in Philadelphia at the Drexel program in which the jazz band and choir from Xavier came up to perform. Remember Sister Bea. Anyway, my granddaughter just graduated from Xavier in May 09, (Sade Roberson). She loves Xavier. She is the first in our family to attend a catholic university,and how wonderful. We are from Dallas, Tx. and I worked as a TRIO counselor at Bishop college back in the day.
Again, congrats, and "keep on pushing", we need you to help our youth and may God Bless You.
