I lived in Annapolis from age 14 to 18. 30+ years later Mr. Smith is still a very fond memory from my youth. When I tell others of the uniqueness of Annapolis, Mr Smith is one of the stories I tell.

He always has a smile on his face and brightens even the gloomiest of days. Rain or shine he's always out there picking up the litter and making the city a better place. A man who has nothing to offer does the most out of everyone for this city.

He is iconic and is first to come to mind when you think of humility, perseverance, integrity, commitment, community, honesty, and dedication.

I moved to Annapolois in the early 80's. I remember the first time I saw Carlester ( Buckwheat) walking so happy and full of life. I would always and still look for him around town, I see him sometimes on Forest Drive now by where I live too. He absolutely deserves and great big statue in his honor with a big thank you from all of us Annapolitians!

He has been the West Street icon ever since I was a child. You couldn't ever go down the streets without seeing him walking up and down the streets cleaning the areas. We use to look for him everytime.
