My Father's Guidance: Someone Needs to Get the Gun

When I began to work in our communities in 1968, I was completely overwhelmed! I asked my father for guidance. He said," Son, If someone is running down the road, with a gun, wounding and killing people, someone has to heal the wounded and bury the dead, but, as well, someone needs to get the gun! What are you going to do?"
