Paige McPherson looks great in gold, and gold medals in particular. She looks good in almost any color actually, with her dark hair and eyes contrasting with the honey-brown tones of her skin. It’s a striking face, one that would be at home on the cover of any fashion magazine. Her legs are long and lean—pure muscle–and when she walks, there’s a power in her...

Shining Stars: Streeter and Barbara Shining

It’s great to move around the country, to live in different climates, cultures, and seasons and we all know people who have done so. Unfortunately, some never stop talking about “the other place” – the other school, the other church, the other governments, the other political systems, the other doctors, the other stores, and the other whatevers. (Boring, to say the least!)So it’s quite refreshing to talk with people who love the place they are at the moment. That can...

Fly-By Knight: Wayne McAfee

Garbed in the red-and-white hooded mantle of his chivalric order and carrying his ceremonial sword, Sir Wayne Mc Afee would appear anachronistic anywhere, but nowhere more so than in South Dakota where heroes wear cowboy hats and spurs, and the ancestry of horses and bulls is more important than their owners’. The Custer man is South Dakota’s only knight of the Imperial Constantinian Order of St. George, which claims to be the oldest order of Christian chivalry in the world...

Mike Wolforth – Photoshop ‘Til You Drop

I defy anyone to find a nicer guy on the streets of Rapid City—or the entire Black Hills for that matter–than professional photographer Mike Wolforth. I also defy anyone to find a person better able to maintain a sunny disposition despite a constant companion called “chronic pain” than our good friend Mike Wolforth.

We in the FACES office, where Mike has been generously lending his expertise for a couple of years now, have started calling him “Job,” a...

Learning Curve: Hunting 101

Prologue: OK, so this artist goes hunting with a businessman, a hat-maker, and two priests. Seriously, this is not a joke, it really happened. I had asked my friend Pete Lien, CEO of Pete Lien and Sons, (named after his grandfather) if he’d take me hunting so that I could write a “learning curve” article about the experience. A couple of days later he called me and asked if I wanted to go pheasant hunting with him and two friends of his, who happened to be priests, or whether...

As the Crow Flies: Morry Crow

Like most people of his generation, Morry Crow remembers exactly where he was on December 7, 1941. Twenty-one years old, and “full of vinegar,” he was in Seattle, Washington with a pretty girl in his brand new ’41 Club Coupe Chevy. He’d paid $850 for it, and it was a beauty—with white wall tires, a heater and a radio, from which he heard the first report of the bombing of Pear Harbor.“Turn up the radio!” he remembers telling his girlfriend. He quit his job as an...
