Allison's Story
Allison is from Cookeville, Tennessee. Allison's schools include Ogdensburg Free Academy. Allison later attended SUNY New Paltz (Psychology)but left to journey with parents to live in Tokyo, Japan where her father was a diplomat in charge of all Far Eastern immigration. Allison worked at Nat'l Museum of American History, Smithsonian as chairman's secretary, then training as a museum specialist in the Div. of Medical Sciences.

t me, but Ogdensburg was a small town and did not wish to have any negativity come my way. Only wish i could have the means to help those on the South Dakota Pine Ridge rez more.

May Wakantanka encircle you and yours with faith to believe, hope for the future, and love for all....
