Final Notes on Sakawa’s Lariat (1938-_____)

Hi, friends! Did everybody have a great Thanksgiving?
I hope you all enjoyed Harold Wadley’s delightful email which I published in my last post. I couldn’t have said any of this nearly as well as he. Through his own words you all can savor the amazing originality as he, Awi Egwa, tells me the most likely […]

Awi Egwa’s Response (The Sakawa Lariat, continued)

So here I am, it’s Thanksgiving Night. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
There is no more opportune time to continue my story than tonight, a night in which we give thanks to everything that is good. And such is Sakawa.
When I last left this story Dr. Bob Miller suggested I contact his friend Harold Wadley (or Awi […]

Side Note: A Few More Things From Sakawa

Before I go on with my story of that very special lariat given me by my childhood friend Sakawa in 1938, I would just like to say that it is not the only special “gift” he gave me.

Now Sakawa remains a real mystery. He “happened” into my life at an amazingly opportune, and I […]

It not only carries the story of a revolution but documents with before-and-after history, and takes […]

Great Things Often Tiny but Mighty

 Just by remembering, dreaming, loving well, I awoke one beautiful morning to my dream-come-true wife rubbing noses with me and giggling while showing me a tiny old dime. An old 1916D mercury dime that was not old at all comes to find out. Finally realizing that a not-so-old dime of the same era, something which I […]

Monte (1970-1986): Therapy Dog

On our website I’ve told of some of my experiences as a very young cow boy on the plains of Wyoming with both the mustangs and my pal Bronzy, an American Shepherd of Shoshone extraction. He is why I am still here.
I have a lifetime of experiences to tell about the mental abilities of these “working […]
