Hello everyone, 

I hope that all is well with you. Families who have lost someone since we last talked, you are in my prayers. With my column, we are going to keep you having happy thoughts, with a smile and lots of fun. Just continue to read my column and make notes.

There’s a lot going on this month. I want you to choose one or two events and go have fun. Don’t forget to read the cutlines under each photo. It will give you a lot of information. The concert that I’m about to tell you about will be “The BOMB!” It is called “The Best of Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concerts.” The unforgettable afternoon of jazz legend Duke Ellington’s music will feature St. James Bicentennial Orchestra under the direction of Dr. John R. Lamkin II; The Baltimore City College Choir; Marcus Smith, director; special guest pianist, Charles Covington; and solo artists, my girl, Gabrielle Goodman and Bruce Henderson; and dancer Brinae Ali at St. James Episcopal Church, located 829 N.

 My “Boo-Boo”, “Shorty” and I stopped by the Classic Consigns by KYS last week to see Kimberly Stokes and her new consignment store we have been hearing so much about. They are located at 7214 Harford Road. We were truly impressed. I don’t think I have ever seen such a big consignment store so detailed. I mean, they had everything from handbags; dresses, suits; pants; skirts; sweat suits; sweaters; blouses, blazers, evening wear, such as gowns and tuxedos, evening gowns, vintage clothing, jewelry, scarves; belts; ties; shoes; boots; jackets and coats for both men and women. She carries sizes  2-22. I have not seen anything like it. We stayed there for hours looking around amazed. If you like clothes, or need something special, or if you like designer clothes and can’t afford it from a regular boutique, I recommend going to Classic Consigns by KYS. You will not come out empty-handed and the price is right.

  JD Howard, renowned photographer has passed away. His funeral was last Wednesday at March Funeral Home on Wabash Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. His photography was one of a kind. His work took him from the White House to South Africa and the Million Man March. His work with many of the churches in Maryland was advertised in the AFRO American Newspaper where he worked for many years. JD has also taken photos for The Baltimore Times over the years. He will truly be missed.
