Thank you for your response. I have split up my college training over many
years. Back in 1974 I studied with Marvin K. Opler, Ph.D., and have more
recently, 1989, informed that his son was a MD in the Bronx, NY by a current
Advisory Council archaeologist while she was working in a NYC park.

My memory of Dr. Opler is important as I studied in an undergraduate course,
Marvin Harris' "Rise of Anthropological Theory," and he also taught in the
medical school, a graduate seminar class, "Culture, Personality and Deviant
Behavior," which he allowed me to attend. His Hispanic wife had a degree in
Library Science. He inspired me to read about "Tribal Law" at the then newly
opening SUNY law school in Buffalo, and I brought up his memory to see if
there might be anyone on the list who knew him, and still remember his
emphasis on the future of anthropology being in "Medical Anthropology." While
attending his courses he made some reference to his work in the "relocation"
history and the fact that he was also an "honorary Navaho." His students
enjoyed telling some of their problems, i.e. matrilineal practices across
national borders and the resentment within the same group, if one is from the
one nation or another yet a member of one "clan"

The reason I brought it up was not that I believe that this list should agree
or disagree, but as a fieldworker I have had to work at or near WW II, POW
sites, and am interested in current events as they may be affected by the
unseen forces behind the scenes. I had just visited my next job yesterday of
the oldest and only veterans cemetery in the borough of The Bronx,
landmarked, containing the veterans of four wars, 1812, the Civil War, the
Spanish American War, and World War I. I apologize if offense occurred as the
effect of the site inspired me to try to relate to what occurred after these
interments, and brought to memory the Peruvian-Japanese internments as stated
in the NY Times of some past date.

Sincerely,
George J. Myers, Jr.
