I was pleased to read in the article A trail for Albany trailblazer, May 12, that the City of Albany dedicated a walking trail in the Tivoli Lake Preserve to Brother Yusuf Burgess. Brother Yusuf dedicated a substantial portion of his adult life to working with and inspiring young people of Albany. His life demonstrated that it is possible to overcome youthful difficulties to become a respected and admired community leader. The Brother Yusuf Burgess Trail will stand as a reminder of his values and generosity.
