The 13th of June (15th of June, the Red.) is also Dean Reed's mother, Ruth Anna Brown's birthday. Let us remember her also. Ruth Anna died last year. She was a magnificent woman. She was a great beauty in her youth, a good mother and wife, an excellent teacher who inspired many students, a feminist, a role model, and a good friend to many. She continued her education, believing that education is never finished... She loved life. She loved Dean. She believed that life had a purpose. She believed that Dean had a purpose. As we remember Dean's death, may we also remember Ruth Anna's birth: the mother of Dean Reed. She was my friend. I will miss her. (Will Roberts 2001) Beiträge auf der Dean-Reed-Website
