REMEMBER FREEDOM IS NOT FREE...... LIVE FREE OR DIE....... Life I have been involved for many years in Indian Affairs. I was on the board of Directors of L.I.F.E., Local Indians For Education. I have also been involved with the L.P.D.C., Leonard Peltier Defense Committee. I ran the Cottonwood LPSG. I am also a recent member of A.I.M., the American Indian Movement. A hero of mine is Chief Crazy Horse. This was a man that was not afraid to fight for and die what was right. He was remained that way until the day he was murdered. There are few people today that fit that mold. I am also involved with Veteran's Affairs I did belong to the O.V.M.A., Oregon Veterans Motorcycle Association. I am also a member of the Sacred Bones Lone Riders MC. This is a "club" of Bikers that like riding alone and not in a group. What's great about it there are no meetings, no dues, they don't care who you are or what you ride. Occasionally we will get together for a group ride but it isn't mandatory either. When I first acquired the Suzuki Intruder I did have it custom painted and pinstriped added chrome, etc. I entered several car and bike shows and have three or four trophies to show for it from Best Non-Harley to Ladies Choice... More recently I have become more active in environmental issues by joining the Umpqua Water Sheds group.. If you like a tree hugger. At least to this date we have saved an old growth forest from being Ponderosa Pine. It is their northern most boundary. Majestic Oaks and Madrone some over 400 years old. The only reason they are cut down and left is because they are considered junk trees and are just in the way. I have photos that document this. The lumber industry as well as the BLM just don't get it. Clear cutting is the wrong approach. It creates hazards as well as displaces the animals that live there. I really don't care if anyone agrees with what I have said. In the end the truth will bear witness. School I never went to any one school longer than two and a half years so I never was crazy about any one of them. grade 1 - 3 Bonesteel, SD.; 3-3 Farmington, Min.; 3-3, Pickstown, SD.; 3-4 Island School, Ferndale, CA.; 4-4 Freshwater Corners, CA.; 5-5 Marine View Terrace, Eureka, CA.; 6-6 Lincoln Elementary, Eureka, CA.; 7-7 Eureka Jr High, Eureka, CA.; 8-8 George C. Jacobs Jr. High, Eureka, CA.; 9-9 Eureka Jr High, Eureka, CA.; 9-10 Enterprise High, Redding, CA.; 11-11 Anderson Union High School, Anderson, CA.; 12-12 Enterprise High School, Redding CA.; 12-Graduation 1963 Anderson Union High School, Anderson, CA. Due to all the moving I never took the Constitution test and had drivers ed in the car twice, once at Enterprise and the other with Mr Akin's in Anderson. My favorite teachers, which was few, was my first grade teacher, who is at the top of the list, was Mrs. Opine, the next would be Mrs. Still at Island School in Ferndale. Mr science "Ole man" Critchfield. The last one and he was very near the top of my list was Mr. Ed Peterson at Anderson High. One of the best moments at Anderson was when I hit Mr Peckler in the head with a snowball. The other best moment was when I graduated. My biggest crush hmmmmm. In Bonesteel, SD. it was Marvelynn, Glynn., hands down. At Jacobs Jr High in Eureka it was Debbie Moorehouse then Randi Smith. At Enterprise High it was a girl by the name of Donna but the last name escapes me. She lived on Belladonna St. in Enterprise. Then good "ole" Anderson, OK what guy didn't have a crush on Karen Butterfield? There were three others, Pat Wicklander, Bernice Powers, a...Expand for more
