Reneging Some Earlier Statements

Good morning, All!

Last night at some point I received a message from the widow of Lester Ferguson stating that he was not, in fact, a force that lead Bobby astray with drug use.  She said he was a kind, intelligent man who was a good husband to her and passed away in the 80's

She did not leave me an email address with which to contact her, so I'll do it here:

I am so, so sorry for any misinformation I received and then repeated about Lester.  It was not my intention to insult anyone in his family, and I sincerely apologize.  I can only imagine how hurtful that must have been to you as his wife.  This blog is intended to honor Bobby and those in his life, but I can definitely get facts wrong, and I appreciate you calling me out on them.  I'm going to remove all comments about Lester from the post "Bobby's 1956 Drug Arrest."

Also, I invite you to submit a letter or article depicting the "real Lester" and his connection to Bobby, only if you want to, and I am happy to publish it in order to restore his legacy.

Again, I sincerely apologize for the pain and frustration this caused you.
