Besides having worked with Huck in the Arch lab at the UofA, I shared a special bond with him and his lovely wife, Lisa; their dog, Kana'a, was sister to my two dogs, Moki and Yah ta'eh. They were brought back from the Rez one winter as puppies, having been abandoned in the snow. I'm sure those Rez dogs thanked their lucky stars daily after being rescued by such considerate bil'ganas. Huck was one of a kind--we shall not see his like again.

Thank you, Bob. And for the record, I did give Lisa a hug for you.

That's a lovely tribute to your friend, Bob. If I had such an encomium, I would die happy. If that's the way it works.

Great tribute. Makes me wish I could take a class from Bruce or YOU for that matter. Luckily I get a little bit of teaching from you every time I read your substack.

We need faith and reason. Science and the arts. Liberal education. And why those tearing it down are hell bent to destroy history so the masses can only sing songs and tell stories of dispare. Bruce and all those dedicated to the never ending quest for greater truth and more honest stories about who we are provide the remedy. Keep telling the stories we need to tell Bob. Keep inviting others to the stage to tell their stories.

Anthropologists and Archeologists. As Kurt Vonnegut Jr says, "You are fast Realizers." Add Journalist and you become Prophets.
