He was a latch key kid in an urban environment of poverty who was blessed with an amazing mind of creativity, high academic achievement, a caring heart, artistic prowess (especially comic characters) and a curiosity for what lies beyond the universe.
His creativity had no boundaries. From designing his own alphabet to establishing his own numbering system, he was simply having fun. Reading entire text books from end to end was light weight for him. Besides, since he was so competitive, he could not allow anyone else to be smarter than him, least of all his teachers. His insatiable appetite for knowledge, learning and applied science made him a genius amongst friends and admired by all.
He was selected and listed in the Whos Who among American high school students 1980 1981. In September 1981, Bernard or HB as some called him, began his first semester at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he majored in Aero Space Engineering until he took his life on February 8, 1983. He was 19 years of age.
Witting this book was a passion for Bernard.view less
