To make Greg laugh.

My mission for the summer of '84 was to make the medicine man (aka Greg Willis) laugh at Indian Night.  If you were on staff that year, you might remember that I was Greg's shadow and that included Indian Night.  One session while he was doing his big speech about the spirits of the North, West and so forth, I came up behind him and licked his back (grease paint taste pretty bad) but I got nothing, not even a hesitation in his speech. 

I was never successful that summer in making Greg mess up his role as the medicine man but I can say that when I was Program Director, and of course the medicine man in '88, that every Indian Night had a magical fire but that is another story.
