Dear editor, Just wanted to acknowledge the article in the paper regarding the Buche Store donating food to the Indian population in South Dakota. I used to work at Buches back in the 1950’S when I was in high school and felt very proud that I did so. I remember the grandfather, and probably this young man’s father who would come to visit the store periodically to see how things were going. They would be very proud of the young Buche gentleman who runs Buches now. What a wonderful gesture of humanity and kindness he displayed. Still get the Gregory paper on line and enjoy reading what goes on in my old hometown. Anita Brotsky Saathoff Orlando, Florida
