Re: The Kentucky side of the "split" gathering of 1993:

I remember a man old enough to have gray hear [sic] and beard
who played a central role in the logistics of the gathering,
who might be called a "focalizer" if I can't use the word
"leader", and I think his name was Joseph Greenfeather. Did
this gentleman truly attend this gathering, and do I have his
name right?

Joseph Greenfeather was there in KY 93, blackwatch kilt,
bagpipes, Congressional Medal of Honor and all. I was there
too. :^) Since Greenfeather's demise I've been told that the
CMH he carried was his father's, but I've had no confirmation
either way and choose to take Joseph's word that it was his.
I got as a legacy his teatree balm.... Neat guy, rest his soul.

Peace,

I remember a guy who made announcments in Dinner Circle who had a
remarkably loud voice, as resonant and clear as an opera singer. I
remember him one evening relaying some latest reports from Alabama
and explaining the latest developments in the gathering split
situation. He also talked about "graybeards" and "puppies", and I
wish I could remember more of that speech. Was this Greenfeather,
or if not, do you know this guy's name?

it was if he was little and wizened, long braid, whiskers, military
beret,
green feathers in cap(!), all kindsa funky regalia and military salad,
bagpipe,
kilt, in later years, oxygen tank on wheels, and he's somehow managing
to
declaim, proclaim, scold and instruct
with the greatest of good humor and love,
intelligence and wry irony...
remember hamlet in ocala at the granola funk theatre?
he brought the scripts and the inspired lunacy to direct
shakespeare in the florida woods...
one thing i recall him saying a lot about inevitable
recurring dramas of the rainbow... "Yep," he would comment
at a pause in someone's narrative or lament, "...yes indeed. You'll
have that..."
