As children, both Dr. Leonard Richardson & I, Etienne A. Gibbs, knew Mr. Amadeo Estrill as the friendliest man on St. Thomas who wasn't shy to walk up to anyone and spark a friendly conversation after a greeting of "Good morning!" or "Good afternoon!". Everyone on Main Street in Downtown Charlotte Amalie knew Mr. Estrill by his unique features: painter's coverall, smile, laughter, friendliness, but most impressively, his colorful expletives! I have never known Mr. Estrill's expletives to be malicious or used in anger. My guess is that he  suffered from what today psychiatry would refer to as Tourrete's Syndrome, a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary tics & vocalizations, often accompanied by the compulsive utterance of obscenities. Born on St. Thomas, Virgin Islands Nov 1, 1908, Mr. Estrill died of a stroke at the age 91, July 26, 2000, in Central Florida where relocated the year before. Mr. Canada Lee was born Leonard Lionel Cornelius Canegata March 3, 1907, in New York City. His father, James Cornelius Lionel Canegata, was born on St. Croix & migrated to New York. Raised by his parents in Harlem, Mr. Lee had an aptitude for music. He made his concert debut at age 11, performing a student recital at Aeolian Hall. But after 7 years of music studies, without explanation, he put away his violin & ran away from home. In 1921, aged 14, Mr. Lee went to Saratoga Springs, New York, & began a 2-year career as a jockey. Mr. Lee later starred in Welles's Broadway production of Native Son (1941). A champion of civil rights in the 1930s & 1940s, Mr. Lee was blacklisted & died shortly before he was scheduled to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Perhaps his most famous film role was in Alfred Hitchcock's movie, Lifeboat (1944).

During the next couple of Sundays we shall present Parenting Righteously from the Natural and Spiritual Viewpoints with Etienne A. Gibbs covering the Natural psychological aspects and Bishop Herbert Hucks and Pastor Kim Dial covering the spiritual aspects. Here are some of the topics we shall cover: Falling Down Is Not Such a Bad Thing: Children Do It All the Time and Mommies Come to their Rescue with Her Loveaid in Hand.  "Every Behavior, Good or Bad, Starts as a Goal," aAccording to the creators of STEP, Dr. Don Dinkmeyer, Sr., & Dr. Gary D. McKay. STEP (Systematic Training for Effective Parenting) began in 1976 when Dr. Don, Sr., & Dr. McKay expanded a successful book, Raising a Responsible Child.   A. Identifying the Negative Behaviors. To effectively help negative attention-seekers, we must first change our response to them.B. Who's the Boss in Your House, at School, or Workplace? Power-seekers feel that they are significant only when they are bossing or bullying people around. C. When Getting Mad Is Getting Even. I do believe that revenge-seekers are bullies who are somewhat paranoid in their thinking.D. To Suck It Up or Seek It Out? That Is the Question. Manipulators, rather than come right out with their wishes, wants, and desires, will find elaborate ways to get others to do something for them. Ultimate Goal: Turning the misconduct into super-performance at School, Workplace, or Home.

Gibbs. Each week we shall interview authors about their work and the disciple behind their writing. Call 646-721-9611 during the show with your questions or comments. This week's author: Shawn Starling According to Shawn Starling, “The words by the late rapper, The Notorious B.I.G., could not have been a better way to introduce myself. Those words describe the exact essence of my beginning. They represent what was and what lives inside of me even in this transitioning period of my life. To recognize one’s faults is the key to understanding the direction you are heading in. Opening my eyes to my own truths blessed me with a consciousness that I consider God Sent. I understand. Just like the character in my book, Real, I grew up in Mosby Court Projects inside the home with a dedicated Christian family.”  “I too, chose the streets over the integrity and values I was raised with. I too, wanted more without realizing everything I really needed was right in front of me. I too, lost it all in the blink of an eye. I was a scared little boy. When the realization of that statement hit me, it was at a time when I could truly say I had become man. Reading this, you may asked, ‘How could a grown man say he was a scared little boy?’  "Well, that is the truth. Here I stand with my first published novel, REAL RECOGNIZE REAL, and 8 more unpublished manuscripts to follow. I am a father of two beautiful daughters and a grown man. Today I can say that and know that it is the truth. It is the truth without a façade to hide behind. I am a sole survivor.

This week's author: Wesley “Godfather” Hunter Born and raised in the streets of Los Angeles, Mr. Wesley “Godfather” Hunter began his journey of gang-banging and crime at a very youthful age. By age 10 he’d already experienced his first arrest and stay in a jail cell. By the age of 12 he’d begun a career of incarceration, which has kept him physically imprisoned for most of his life. Yet, even in this, life has not left him bitter and he continues to strive, finding the strength within himself to overcome against the odds. Now a 32 year-old aspiring author, currently incarcerated in the California Dept. of Corrections where he is serving out the remainder of a 20 year sentence for commercial armed robbery and 2 counts of attempted murder on sheriff’s deputies, Wesley has used his time wisley. Devoted to spreading the word of change/love and self-respect in his works and titles, he spends most of his time focused on positive writings, thoughts and goals geared towards improving himself, and giving something back to society in the form of insight, experience, and wisdom. Mr. Godfather has written several novels and an autobiography but has since established his own Urban Diamonds Publishing to release his latest titles. He has started a youth help organization, “The Raw Truth”, to bring forth through the inner city churches and other youth-related programs. Source: Wikipedia.com
