friend of Daniel's

I'm so honored to have met LeRoy at the NAMI convention in San Diego several years ago. I got to spend time with him at lunch at the hotel and also at dinner at a restaurant. He was a charming and wonderful dinner guest, and I was fascinated by him. When he told me he was going to sing at one of the convention social events, I jokingly said "If you do, I will get up and dance." I used to be a ballet dancer, and I love to dance at parties. I'm also a writer and artist--and I love to sing, too, but my parents discouraged me from pursuing any of these arts. We were the kind of family who doesn't show much affection or give hugs. I went to a different event that day at the convention, and I really regret it now, because I had no idea that LeRoy was an accomplished bass singer. That's lower than baritone--amazing! I've never heard anyone sing that 'low' in person! Thank you for creating this tribute website! I have learned a lot from Daniel and LeRoy and his loving family. LeRoy's poems are amazing, and it looks like I now have the chance to listen to a recording of him singing. I will never forget the way LeRoy sat on his teenagers in order to hug them! How funny and wonderful. LeRoy clearly didn't just speak and write about passing on self esteem to his children--he lived by his words. I'm sure he also influenced many, many teachers and children in just the same way. Joyce Kane, from Lake Isabella, California
