Rez Minincings

After I came back fron Nam i was hurting inside so one sunday I found myself in St Marys Episcopal church, back then the women sat on on side and the men on one side, they were in need of a Lay Reader and they all looked at me, so i had to "volunteer." I became a Lay Reader, didn't know nothing about what I was to do, but I showed up for three years and held services when Father Selwyn wasn't there, Charlie Two Star was my organist, when he didn't show up, I had to start to sing the hymns in Dakota, then the people would join in, one of the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life....
