It is the last issue of the year and a bitter- sweet one at that. A couple weeks ago I discovered that a dear friend, Ace Lundon, had died on October 24th. I never personally met Ace but over the years we cultivated a friendship that blossomed into one that one would expect from two people that see each other often. Unfortunately, due to all that is going on in my life, and my pre- occupaton with it all, I lost touch with Ace. I had experienced a few moments emanating from my gut, that I should reach out to him again and touch base, and recon- nect. Each time I was in the mid- dle of something and said, "I'll call him tomorrow." Alas, tomorrow came and Ace Lundon had gone across the veil. Not reaching out to him will be one of my life's re- grets, always. As a remembrance to Ace, I de cided to dedicated my Decem- ber issue of Diversity Rules to his memory, and is located on page 4. Ace's memory shall live with me forever, as well as the words of widsom and lessone he taught me about myself and my place in this damn crazy world we live in. Adieu Ace Lundon, until we meet again. I know you will not be rest- ing in peace, as you will be busily reminding the angels to think for themselves. You are now reunited with your love Patrick who was taken from you so long ago from the ravages of AIDS. I bid you peace brother and love to you always. Make sure you check out all the other great features in this month's issue. ere are a couple new col- umnists that I am exceited about -- Belo Cipriani, and Ms. T. Helems. Enjoy your lives See you next year. Diversity Rules Magazine PO Box 72 Oneonta, NY 13820 James R.
