From a reader, regarding Mark Fox and MHA now in support of the DAPL.
Oh - thanks so much for the Williston Herald clip showing Fox's letter.And, here's the Fredericks rabbit hole.........A fellow by the name of John Fredericks III is named as legal counsel for 3 Affiliated Tribes. (;>)The Fredericks are a big family on Ft. Berthold. Lots of kids, lots of accomplishments."Tommy" Fredericks was Killdeer's homecoming king [decades ago]. Very handsome, quite a good athlete. He got a teaching degree and was hired at Bowbells, if I remember correctly. He married an Anglo girl, Judy, and they've stayed married. Tom later went to law school and had quite a successful career.So, Tommy had a big law firm and a good life. That law firm represented Standing Rock and other tribes in opposing pipelines. John III worked for Tommy. John III is Tommy's nephew. His dad, John, Jr. was quite the cowboy - he was known as "Buzz" - and he had a fabulous sense of humor. He pulled one of the best pranks ever on a government employee/contractor. My sister saw it coming and was there to witness it. It took days to set up and the government hack fell for it hook, line and sinker. I'll tell you that tale later. Here's a photo of Buzz.So, John III worked for Tommy while that firm opposed DAPL. Now, Tommy retired, John III left that firm, founded his own firm, and is supporting DAPL. (;>)Can't wait to hear from the home folk.
