My Little Notes: This is a letter addressed to my Dad. Not much to add. The brochure was with the letter and explains the tour that Uncle Louie and Al took. Not bad....a 3-hour tour for $1! At least it does not end up like on Gilligan's Island and their 3-hour tour!
I always knew my Dad liked Native American artifacts and their culture. I did not realize it was even when he was a boy. The picture below is part of his collection of arrowheads that he had found years ago. He framed and made this and I have it proudly displayed in my living room. Many of these arrowheads came from all over like Texas, California, Missouri. He also found quite a few in Illinois and near where we lived. He learned from a friend how to find them. He said you had to have the feel or sense to find them. Also, a few years ago we had some looked at by a local archaeologist group. Surprised to find out they were over 5,000 years old and some even older! I thought maybe from the 1800s. That was quite the shock!
