Special Thanks to Jay Cole for donation of equipment and technical assistance to make this recording possible.

I had the privilege to record What's Left - Lives Touched By Suicide​ event at American Indian Community Housing Organization​ yesterday featuring two men who have been important in my life at different times.  Dr. Arne Vainio​ is a physician at Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa who has been a mentor and cultural guide to me for much of the last decade.  John Bauer worked with me at KAXE​ Northern Community Radio​ in the mid-1990s who helped me to be my best even when I was at my worst. The presentation includes a powerful introduction from Tina Olson​ at Mending the Sacred Hoop​.  The background music animating it all is from Jake Vainio​. 

I want to thank Jay Cole​ for making this recording possible and Ivy Vainio​ and Michelle LeBeau​ for inviting us and giving us permission to use and share the recording to help other families who may have been touched by suicide.  Most importantly, our hope is that this recording will bring more awareness to John's amazing "What's Left" project and to hopefully prevent suicide in all of our families and communities.
