Invisible Stars
At the Veterans Day dinner and dance I asked my friend who the silver-haired dancer with the American flag apron was. "That's Smitty Pierre," she said. "He's everywhere."
"I like his regalia," I responded. "Subtle, but distinct."
"Well," she remarked, "that's Smitty. Never the star, but always in the background showing support for the tribe. He helps with the Head Start, the College, elder care, and all the community functions and dinners. Need help--call Smitty."
