Tuesday, October 13th, a “Day of Diversity” was held for BRC residents to experience happenings all over the world.
Kerri East McLeod greeted guest and residents to a room filled with “other countries.” From Mexico to Japan…to Scotland and the mountain, the participants were excited to observe items from these countries. Chips and salsa were served representing the food of Mexico.
Upon exiting the building, located “high” on a hill was a full size teepee! Randy Keith Robertson, also known by his Indian name Quiet Man, had created a camp ground circa 1832. Complete with tanning hides, animal hats, bow and arrows…just everything one would expect at a 1832 Mountain area time period. I was amazed at the information and items Mr. Robertson had collected and completed himself. Randy told me he became interested in this time period in 1987. He has either built or purchased authentic items for years. His collection is truly amazing. The inside of the teepee had “skins” in a large circle for people to sit and a fire pit in the middle of the hut. Randy explained how the teepee had to be constructed in such away that no matter how the wind was blowing, the smoke caused from the fire, would filter out the top of the teepee. I believe I enjoyed the “tour” more than anyone! As you can tell, I was amazed.
Boswell continues to bring education to their residents teaching and exposing them to different cultures.
Steve Allen and his crew are awesome! Not only are the residents blessed to have such a caring staff, we in the Simpson County area are blessed with the opportunities available to our workforce through Boswell.
