[L-I] Very Fine Words Indeed from Tougaloo's 40th Reunion -- and More

NOTE BY HUNTER BEAR:

Bill is absolutely on target. [Others have commented thusly.]  I am deeply
honored.  And I should add that I and my family and friends are much honored
by every single contribution of any kind that is on the Tribute.  [At the
conclusion of this, I am also adding a couple of encouraging words from
Eastern Idaho.]

Hunter, now THAT is something to be proud of.

Hello,

Here's a tribute to "Professor Salter" from some of
his Tougaloo College students.  Would you please see
that it gets added to the website.

Thanks, Joan Mulholland

The Tougaloo Class of '64, meeting for our 40th
Reunion, sends heartfelt greetings to Professor and
Eldri Salter and their family.  We remember their time
with us (and we with them)--their encouragement,
guidance and welcoming home.  Above all, we remember
their commitment to the Civil Rights Movement and
their faith in us.  For all of these gifts we say,
"Thank you, thank you."  We are saddened to learn of
Professor Salter's infliction with lupus.  We want him
and his family to know that our hearts and prayers are
with them as they face this life's challenge.  His
support and inspiration are living legacies for all
who were fortunate to know him, especially the Class
of 1964.  For this we are ever grateful.

The hideous, several years drought, which continues to plague much of the
Mountain West, may have finally begun to end in Eastern Idaho.  After a long
winter of very heavy snow -- followed by a very few dry weeks -- we have
just had four weeks of on again/off again rain [and some snow.] We continue
to walk faithfully in the very high hills immediately above our home,
surrounded by blooming wild flowers [red, yellow, and blue], healthy sage
and wild wheat grass, all sorts of wild animal sign, and some critter
sightings.  Youngest daughter, Josie, and her special friend, Cameron, an
IBEW activist, are right now with his large family at their hunting camp
near Soda Springs [close to Wyoming]  where I am sure they've had snow. My
family and that of Eldri's is much into dutch oven cooking.  Recently,
Cameron's folks sent over a huge dutch oven full of scalloped potatoes,
cheese, and sausage.  Eldri had one helping over several days but I had
eleven.  Cameron's grandfather,  Lin Whitworth, as I have earlier posted, is
the leading senior Labor figure in Idaho and is presently challenging
rightwinger Mike Simpson for Congress.  Brother Whitworth, with a
refreshingly strong Western populist position, stands a good chance of
making it.  http://www.linwhitworth.com/

Keep Fighting -

In our Gray Hole, the ghosts often dance in the junipers and sage, on the
game trails, in the tributary canyons with the thick red maples, and on the
high windy ridges -- and they dance from within the very essence of our own
inner being. They do this especially when the bright night moon shines down
on the clean white snow that covers the valley and its surroundings.  Then
it is as bright as day -- but in an always soft and mysterious and
remembering way. [Hunter Bear]
