On behalf of the Mausica Teachers' Alumni & Friends , New York Chapter, I wish to thank all the fellow-Mausicans and friends who sent in their tributes to our President and colleague, Michael Angelo Dudley Dickson. I am pleased to inform that Dudley had a send-off worthy of a king! How lovely and touching and how-so Michael! It was with dignity, style and grace, mixed with stirring emotions that filled the ambience of that celebration of his life. His son, Asante, ;rendered a one-of-a-kind reflexion of his father. Superb.
I was priviledged to speak on behalf of the New York Chapter. I did read out portions of the tributes sent to our website and topped it off with Mr Williams' tribute to Dudley
Mausica was highly represented by more than thirty colleagues. We were given the "important" seating of the first pews across from the immediate family. Songs of the Mausica Choir filled the air--Lead Kindly Light, Boca Chimes, The Hallelujah Chorus and Dudley departed the Church to the tune of Buddy Lindo.
Those who came from Canada, from New Mexico, from Maryland, from Washington, from South Carolina, from Georgia, from Florida to pay your respect and show your solidarity, we say thank you for being here for one who was a " Mausican to de bone."
May he rest in Peace. He will be sorely missed.
P.S. We have proposed a "Dudley Memorial Scholarship Fund" and contributions could be sent to our Treasurer, Mary Modeste.
