I don't care if you are from MARS!If you can run a projector and do it RIGHT, you're okay by me!

There used to be one down in Friendswood, TX at Baybrook Mall, and he was a BEAR... he'd pull a gun on you if you looked at him the wrong way!And I'd venture to say he'd pull the trigger, if anyone dared call him a 'Native American'.
My great-grandfather was a full-blooded Cherokee, so I don't know what that makes me; but I hear I qualify for some college fund scholarship somewhere. If I'd known about it 20 years ago, I would've taken them up on it.

Well my dad's side is Scotch/Irish. My mom is South African (Dutch/English). So would that make me and African-American? If so, could I have gotten financial aid in college. If that is true, I never should have gotten those loans.By the way, before Brad says it again. It should not matter what anybody is, except capable, and willing to learn. And the remote control. And the paddle game. And the dog. GRRRRR Well, maybe not the dog. And that's all I need. Oh I need this!

In past years I've met at least several operators that were definately from Mars!

Wer'e all created equal,Mr Lund.
I don't mean to offend anyone or become a
friendly enemy of Native Americans.
I am however requesting permission to
have anything about the lives of persons
involving this subject published in a
magazine made by U.S. native tribes called
NATIVE PEOPLES.(http://www.native-peoples
.com)(?) As for Mr. Stanley & Mr. Reed,
one of my ancestors,she was a full blooded
Cherokee. Yes, I know how to run a projector
right. I have an all Simplex arrangement
set up and running at my house.
However I am having everything on 110/120
volts AC.

Would you email me when this article is released? I am at afn37273@afn.org I definitely liked the article on the Native Peoples' web site titled "Coyote Goes Hollywood", from the Fall '97 issue. (If anyone's interested, you can navigate to it from the "Online Editorial" drop-down box in the main frame on Native Peoples' web site.)
I've noticed references on the web to at least half a dozen Native American film festivals, but none of them seem to be anywhere near me. If you know of any close to Florida, please let me know.
