Subject: Indian Friends Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 23:23:37 -0500 From: "k2czt" To: "Red Heart Peterson" Greetings RedHeart, Here is the picture I promised you. I hope it will deliver ok. I believe it is in HTML. I tried so many times to get it to print out in a usable size that I forgot which format it is in. Anyway, The little guy in the middle is George Howard. He was owner operator of the Indian Garage, I believe on Upper Broad street, Philadelphia. The white man to the left of the picture is my dad. He would be 93 if he were alive today. He was 34 when the picture was taken. At that time he was road service manager for the AAA in Philly. George was one of his garage men. George's Ute name was Jorge-essenay- go-sho-no. or a fax simile thereof. It ment George the lazy blanket a__ himself. A name he got as a young man on the reservation because when ever one of the older men went looking for him to help out with a little work George was usually found in a shady spot wrapped up in his blanket taking a nap. He was a long time sharing that with dad. The occasion of the picture was a going away party they threw for dad. Dad had taken a position as General Manager of the New Jersey Auto Club AAA in Newark, NJ and was leaving the Philadelphia, area. Earlier George had come to dad and asked him if he knew of a place that their Indian Social Club could meet once a month to play cards and talk over the old days. They had lost their previous meeting place. Dad arranged for them to have a meeting room in the AAA headquarters building one evening a month. So in appreciation for his help, when dad left Philly for NJ they gave him a going-away party. They made him an honorary Ute with the name of Ba-ha-zo which means "He who bleeds". Dad was a hemophiliac and had many bleeding episodes. One landed him in the Hahneman Hospital for 4 months (where I happend to be born in '35). George was a wonderful friend to him and went around to all the AAA garage men and took up a collection to help him with the medical bills. At the time mom was 4 months pregnant with me. Again L to R. Levi Levering (Chief White Horn 86yr), Dad (FK Schultze 34yr), George Howard (Jorge-Esssenay-Go-Sho-No 65yr), CV Davis a co-worker with dad age un-known-young), and Sam Early,(Chief Blow Snake 84yr.) George was still active as a garageman the other two gentlemen were retired Philadelphia businessmen. their lives spanned a tremendous period and they saw many changes and adapted to a totally new culture while holding on to their past. Sincerely, Don Schultze Walani's Father. k2zct@gateway.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: August24,19984.JPG August24,19984.JPG Type: JPEG Image (image/jpeg) Encoding: base64 Description: August24,19984 (JPEG Image)
