Mr. Newton, you need to add profile information and a signature quote.

Mr. Newton, I would imagine that you would rather discuss things that happened earlier in your life.  For example you were named after somebody famous.  (Hint Google the words "named after" in quotation marks along with your name.

However, your later years, (including your ending) were rough.  Can you discuss this?  Did you serve prison time for anything?

My brother Huey I will be praying for you in jail. I will do all I can to get you out.
