A Few Words From The Pen Of: Clifford G. Fleetwood
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
I've spend over 25 years traveling
throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. I've penned 250 Broadcast Music International cataloged, country,
bluegrass, and country rock songs to include: The Ballad of Jacob Wright, Dancin' Across Texas, Big Timber Cowboy, The Adventures
of Captain Jack, Calling All Hearts, The Captain and The Catamuran, The Power, Samanth's Smile, and many, many
more.
I've penned 25 short stories, and 100 + philosophical works of art that are now located at: The Louvre Museum
in Paris, France, titled: The Royal Family Collection in Honor of Queen Elizabeth II, and The Royal British Family of
the Royal United Kingdom, and a second international art collection specifically for the Louvre Museum in Paris, France,
titled: Le' Collectiou De' Le' New Renaissance, a third national art work collection located at the: Smithsonian Museum in
Washington, D.C, titled: "The Presidential Collection" in Honor of: United States President George W. Bush, and the Bush Family
of Dallas, Texas, and also had the grand Honor to author 50 + works of philosophical art for His Most Holy The Honorable Pope
John II, of The Holy Vatican, Vatican City Rome, and such works were titled:
"The Holy Vatican Prayers, and Passages".
I've walked in the rain, slept in frigid snow, I loved Aspen, Vail, and Winter Park Colorado.
I've also met Buddy Guy, Willie Nelson, Jack Green, and John Prine, Country Music Great Hank Locklin, was a very good friend
of mine, we met in Nashville, and at the Station Inn., I now proudly own the 1996 Silver Eagle Tour Bus, that was his
at one time.
I
was blessed with good friends in my lifetime, and throughout my career. The friends who made the last 25 years pleasurable,
and have helped me with the battles in my life that were either anti-political or anti-social, they were one of the few
reasons I've been successful in my life, and I've been blessed with a great education I hold 2 Ph.D's,
the first a Ph.D, in Philosophy, successfully completed in 1996, at: Southern California College
at Chula Vista , the second a Ph.D, in International Law, successfully completed in 2015 at: Nova Southeastern University
in Davie, Florida, which was a fantastic online degree program. I was a J.S.D. researcher at Nova Southeastern University
from: 2003-2015.
Further, I successfully completed a combined law degree program, and successfully earned a Executive Juris
Doctorate law degree, and a Juridicial Science Doctorate , in 2007, and 2008, at Northwestern International University, located
at: Gibralter, United Kingdom, in conjunction with Harvard, Oxford, MIT, and Yale Universities , and Nova Southeastern University. All 3 law degree programs were fully accredited,
and approved by the American Bar, and I spent almost 30 years on the said law degrees as a graduate studies Doctorial
researcher, even while I toured, and traveled.
A Big, Big Thanks to: Dr. Jay Wise, President, and Chancellor, at: Northwestern International,
who believed in me, and opened the doors to a great, and outstanding education. It was he who also helped me succeed,
he will always be a valued, and trusted colleague, and friend.
Dr. Wise, is a legendary educator, and a great academic administrator.
A big thanks also the the University
of Colorado at Denver, where I was a Associate Professor, and Researcher from: 1997-2002.

Technology, and Cornell University School of Law, in pursuit of completing a Fellow of Law Doctorate, in the academic years
of: 2022 2023, at: Bookings Institute, which I thankful for as well. The said graduate research program is a great online
program.
We
all say, and do things we wish we hadn't, I hope those of you I've offended "without just cause", will accept my apologies,
especially to the American Bar, who hurt my soul while I was trying to move forward, and succeed as a Attorney. The sadness
I felt at that time will never be forgotten, especially from those at the American Bar I respected, and highly admired.
