Today, I attended the wake of a native friend, who's name was Dave, Walks Like A Bear. I'd only known Dave for about 2 and a half years. Dave was a quiet soul, and very likable, once you took the opportunity to be in his presence. He was avoided by many people because of his dress. He certainly wasn't a well dressed man, but Dave was a genuinely nice man. I never heard Dave talk bad about anybody, and I never heard him swear or cuss! He loved to walk about local pow-wow's passing out comic strip cuts about native americans! Many people experianced Dave's good nature, but didn't really try to know the man. They will never know what a great, loving, huge hearted man Dave was. Dave, I already miss you tremendously, it's not often that a person encounters a genuine RED ROAD Native American.

Hello Mr. Ed,
I saw where you updated your journal and thought I would check it out. I am very sorry about your friend. It is so sad that we miss out on a lot of great friendships because we judge the book by the cover! Hope you have a great evening!
God Bless
Randy
