I went out to Kalama Valley a couple of times. John Kelly recommended I go out there and take pictures to document what was happening. I first met Soli Niheu there. He was the one who allowed me to enter and take pictures.
Soli always treated me with respect, he treated me well. I appreciated that, because not everybody did.
Later, the Kalama Valley resistors had a big rally at the state capitol on 31 March 1971.
