We are moving into this

Julius Meyer

As you may know, I work at the National Museum of American Jewish History.

I like it when I find Jews in unlikely places in early American history. Jewish soldiers at Valley Forge, Jewish explorers in Kentucky and Tennessee with Daniel Boone. That kind of thing. It reminds us that the United States was founded as a Pluralistic society.

Here are some photos of Julius Meyer, the Jewish answer to Buffalo Bill Cody.

Julius Meyer was born in Bromberg, Prussia in1839. He emigrated to Omaha, Nebraska, in 1867 and began developing acquaintances with Plains Indians. He was reportedly able to speak six Indian languages. He served as an interpreter for Gen. George Crook and later opened an Indian Curiosity shop, called the "Indian Wigwam" in Omaha.

WHATEVER LYNN WANTS...

Lynn gets.

By the way, any chance of you and Mark coming to the reunion? Oh and...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!

love you!

This is a moose skull, expertly decorated with billions of tiny mirrors by a world-class artist.
This is what we call outsider or folk art. I don't care what anyone says, it's one of my very favorite things.

THE DOG POST

Here are some photographs of our dog, Trout.
He is basiclly a good dog.
He's always happy and gentle.
He does bark loudly and often... but we all have our faults.

We love Trout.
Good dog!

mitchell, the movie

well, I finally got the christine movie to work, so I guess it's time to post another one. now if this high tech posting doesn't create responses, I don't know what will.

Speaking of responses. I really enjoy hearing from Lynn here on the blog, but it's been a long time since we talked and I would love a phone call or even an email sometime.

no pressure. Now sit back and enjoy... mitchell, the movie.
