Very well-said Roy. I honestly think that Brooks was about as nice of a person as the world has ever seen. I got to meet him in Bel Air to get his autograph on his poster back in 1968. He was incredibly nice and even signed to me as a wanna-be Harlem Globetrotter back then (that phase of mine lasted about a month but getting Brooks autograph was right in the middle of that month). What a nice human being.
