: I'm sorry that we didn't tape the other conversations because he sure would have let us print them. He loves to tell stories about his life, his experiences, his people, family, history ... He's a good storyteller.
: Maybe we can talk about some of his other recollections on the board???
I, for one, would love it. Please tell us more.
: One thing you might be interested in is "Big Bear." Have you seen it? The role of Big Bear was promised to Mike awhile back. Unfortunately, by the time things got under way, according to Mike, new casting people came in and there went his role. Gordon Tootoosis was really good, but I sure was able to picture Mike "Sachem" as Big Bear. What do you think? (Thanks to CT for the good trade!)
I thought "Big Bear" was very good. It definitely made me interested in finding out more of the details of the story. Can anyone fill me in? I did find the wig on Gordon Tootoosis to be very visually distracting. I think Mike Phillips would have made a very good Big Bear also. I wonder if the new casting people were looking for someone with a more highly visible name.
: ": Your latest issue of The Courier was very interesting. However, I must have missed my invitation to the first meeting of the Warrioresses. Since you have publicly stated that the Three Piggies are members, I do hope you will be sure to keep us advised of future meetings. We certainly want to be part of such a fine and lively group."
: Oh, but the Courier can only print what news we have! If your invitation didn't arrive it must be taken up with Commander Achillse. She must have been in such a hurry to hold the first meeting that she forgot to tell people about it! I wonder if any other warrioresses were present???????? I must have a word with Achillse about this.
Well, now you have me interested. Were the Three Piggies the only Warrioresses who were slighted, or were others left out also? Can someone who was at the meeting please fill us in on what we missed? When is the next meeting? What say you, Commander Achillse?
