Suit yourself, but to my way of thinking, anyone who can pass the 7 tests to be called a medicine man has my attention. (Note: my "as it happened" phrase only refers to RT's words (to author Doug Boyd) that "someone from the White House sent Mad Bear a request to look over some of the moon rocks". Attempting to contact Mad Bear now, thru RT's widow, to determine whether the "sent request" was in writing and whether he kept it.
