What a legacy your Dad left on the world around him, Geri. There is so much you could say about him - his courage, his faith, his purpose, his love for others, his desire to make the world a better place... My very favorite memory of your father was his perfomance of Martin Luther King, Jr's speech "I Have a Dream". I could feel the depth of his heart and soul poured out in this speech when your Dad performed it. Your dad left his mark on the lives of many and on the community. I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope the many memories you have of him will keep him close, and his positive impact on so many others will comfort you. Thinking of you, Rosanne

Mr. Lane was the Superintendent of Schools during my tenure as a teacher for the Bridgeton Board of Education. He called me his "problem child" because of the times I would make an appointment to see him about some request for Cherry Street Preschool. He would listen carefully to my request, smile that slight smile, and not give me an immediate answer, although within a few days each request was granted. For example, I had the bold idea of bringing all the elementary schools together for the first International Day Of the Child field day at the High School Stadium. I requested different colored T-Shirts by school for all the children and teachers. He coordinated the logistics and that day he gave the opening speech as only Mr. Lane could do. He stood before the microphone in his suite, and stated, "Let the games begin". At that moment he took off his jacket to reveal he too had his International Day of the Child T-Shirt on. The entire stadium cheered and clapped for him. He had so much love in his heart for his family and the children of Bridgeton-Gouldtown. Thank you Mr. Lane. Thank you! Dr. Ollievita Browne-Williams

Mr. Lane proved many things to many people during the course of this life on Earth. One of the more obvious to this student of his understanding is that the word stature is poorly served when used to define humans in metric terms. For Mr. Lane was a Giant of a man.
