Does your friend have lots of money? If not, he may have to do like the majority of us, research them and make them himself.

I suppose Crazy and Jill are watching this site. Not sure why he wants them. He has one fine fur trade library. I guess he want to sit on his buffalo robe smoke his pipe and wear his moccasins. You may have met him at Fort Benton at the symposium. If Jill emails me I will put him in touch with her.

I was stationed in Spokane in the mid 80's. The local fish wrapper had something to say about the Arian Nation nearly everyday. The funniest incident I recall involves Richard Butlers dog. It seems ol'Dick wanted to raise a master race of K-9s so he had a pure bread german shepard sent from Germany. Now, anybody from that part of the world knows that there is a lot of porcupines up there. This Nazi pooch got into it with one. Richard Butler being the attentive pet owner he was, took the dog to the vet. The story would end here except a local citizen with a mean streak intervened. (I don't know who he was, but I salute him!) This citizen calls the vet and says " Dr. So&so, This is Dick Butler. While your are taking the quills out of my dogs face, just go ahead and neuter him." And so ended Richard Butlers dream of a master race. They say eunuch dog looked real sad walking around the compound. _________________________________________________________________ Send instant messages to anyone on your contact list with MSN Messenger 6.0.
