A year later Dapper Dan is getting bigger with the Gap and the other companies wanting his fashion style; Dave East is making hit after hit; Mahdi is still trying to save the youth with his poetry; and I am here waiting to listen to the youth, and to tell them they are to young to die, in 7 different ways
Robert Panton aka Bob Lemon also known as the Trustworthy "Alameen", was released from Federal Prison after serving 30 years of a life without parole sentence. His conviction for one count of conspiracy to sell heroin as a non-violent offender with no criminal history except a misdemeanor for attempted possession of narcotics, left him analyzing how he was sent to the most dangerous penitentiaries in the United States. The survival from this experience is what has fueled him to want every young child, boy or girl to realize that it is easy to make mistakes, but hard to get out of them. Living in Harlem New York on a 140th Street and 8th Avenue at 4 years old, where a fire in the apartment, moved him and his family to Wagner Housing Projects on 124th Street and 2nd Avenue at 5 years old. This is where he earned the name Bob Lemon in a street fight at 12 years old that would alter the life of a child. Having a paralegal diploma, a civil litigation diploma and an associate degree in business administration; some people would say, this is what rehabilitation looks like. Nonetheless, selling heroin and dealing with every criminal element in the streets and prisons, makes Bob Lemon the right person, at the right time, to come up with some solution to help the youths' realize that they are "Too Young To Die".
Some how I was able to raise a son that graduated from college for criminal justice, and became a New York police officer, a daughter that lived on the wild side and now fly straight, and two other sons' that gave me 8 grandchildren a piece.
