Dodie, I had read your description of yourself concerning skin color. I am always surprised by peoples backgrounds and you can not always tell by how they look. My mothers best friend, Helen, was Chickasaw and she was white in skin color but she was raised as an Indian. She went to work on one of the reservations for several years after she got out of school. Her mother was was an Indian artist and Helen was as well. Helen came to my daughters wedding about 4 years ago and she had a great time and we became friends. It was unfortunate that she passed away shortly after and I never got to talk to her in more depth about her Indian heritage. At the time I did not even know that I was part Indian. I always thought I was Irish primarily. I have light skin, grey eyes and light brown hair, which is now turning white but at least I have some hair. Well, I am rambling on here but I was glad you posted about the topic of skin color and it not being a good indicator of ones heritage. Will
