Re: [WardFive] Fw: PRESS RELEASE: Norton Statement on the Loss of Marion Barry

Where Have All The Good Men Gone?

Mr. Gyot and his wife gave from the heart. Mayor Barry gave from the heart. They both emptied themselves to serve. Just as Simon of Cyrene helped Jesus carry His cross they both picked up the cross of the least of them to make the weight of their cross lighter. And it was so.  Thank God for loaning us Marion. May his soul and the souls of all the faith and departed rest in peace. 

Well done thy good and faithful servant.

Norton Statement on the Loss of Marion Barry

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) today offered condolences to Cora Masters Barry, Marion Christopher Barry, and the family and loved ones of Ward 8 councilmember and former mayor of the District of Columbia, Marion Barry.

"From my earliest encounter with Marion Barry, when he was the first chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee until I came back home and found him mayor of my home town, I have seen Marion take hold and write his signature boldly on his own life and times and on the life of the nation's capital.  Many took his struggle to personify in some way their own, endearing him and making him a larger-than-life figure as he became a creator of post-home-rule D.C."
