Long Fork Side One

Said she was Sitting Bulls great, great, great from Bill Cody's rodeo days in Germany ~ I did see a resemblance ~ pix, side by side! Germany ~ before and after ~ Nazi's! Now Monica a left-over immigrant to USA proud in stature, limping, leg twisted all alone on a RV campground ~ Winter! Froze up plumbing, living on hand outs! Husband in the Secret Service ~ military murdered in his own bed ~ at home used to fly to Monica's side ~ helicopter only week-ends ~ secretive! A green barret instructor to U. S. Never found out why ~ no evidence Monica now ~ on German pension, 63 last Birthday, celibrated with friend & me! Each Sunday ~ after church I picked her up ~ her RV ~ loaded w/cats Her family ~ pix of German folks all over ~ flowers ~ stacks of goods! RV ~ crammed with poop ~ couldn't flush No one wanted Monica on their premise The Santee Sioux ~ campground, near Casino Sitting Bull's relative ~ now stuck! The Sitting Duck predicators used to be the Indians ~ hunting, self taught now educated Internet gamblers & the like What a revolution of choice! Local hardware ~ wouldn't help no one open her frozen lines ~ all Summer Til now ~ backed up with poop & cats! Finally Monica OD'd, a diabetic! RV blew up, she threatened to do often Hospital, Psychiatry, Santee moved RV To County garage, Center, Ne. Want her story ~ it's up for grabs!
