Sue, I hope you don't mind if I link to the beginning of your thread, for anyone new who might be reading this? To where you told about your dad?

Shakes, I hope you dont mind me using your blog as a bit of a phot gallery, but I thought to do this properly, I should also attach a couple of pics of dad's partner Allen......
As you know, after I saw Brokeback, I made the effort to contact Allen again after 25years of not even knowing where he was......We keep in regular contact now...he is now 64....
These pics were taken around 1959, when Dad and Allen were doing an around Australia trip....Allen was 17 yrs old.....

--- Quote from: shakestheground on December 20, 2006, 09:20:49 pm ---There is a belief I have heard attributed to Native Ameircas that a person dies three deaths, the physical one, the one that occures when the last person who remembers them dies, and finally the last time their name is spoken. I suppose number three could occur prior to number two, but I like calling their names, keeping part of them with us.

There is some wondrous beauty in this thought. There is so much wisdom in the Native American traditions, precious vessels of the spirit that came so close to being completely wiped out due to the greed and incomprehension of merciless conquerors.
Gorgeous story about your meeting with Lynne and Clarissa. Truman. Gorgeous photos, Sue, of your beloved father. Thank you so much, both of you, for sharing.
Peace,
Scott
