He also owned the Pomona general store which was near the fairview 80 day protest encampment. The general store was straight out of the 19th century. Its slogan, which was also on t-shirts was no shoes, no shirt, no problem. He was a towering figure in the fight for the Shawnee. He will be missed as a brilliant legal strategist and friend of many.

Because they lack sweat glands, hogs cool themselves by wallowing in the mud of seeps, springs, ponds and streams. Here they leave their tracks and the imprint of their coarse hair in the mud. Both rooting and wallowing are incredibly destructive to native plant communities and landscaped areas, such as parks and golf courses.
