Big Dude's family,
Thank you Raymond for making it possible to have gotten to talk to Dude, and also to Duke Kimbol for sharing his phone number. He had some quiet wisdom and did some traditional sharing, and I just want to send and express my condolences to his family and especially to those that got to spend time with him before he took the journey...May Creator bless all and keep you strong and together.

A man of honor. One of the greats. I love this ancestor for the way he walked his talk, his sharing, and most of all his direction on the trivial spirits we encounter time to time. I hold tight every lesson he opened my eyes to.
