"Two of the biggest influences on my life have been Willie Herenton and Melvin Burgess. Herenton is in his 70's, but he's still working and still interested in the future and in education. He inspires me. If he can work at his age, I can too. Melvin Burgess was a police captain at one point, and I appreciate his ability to communicate with the public. He'd get out of the squad car and talk with the youngsters and tell them what was right and wrong. He'd tell them what was in their best interest."
