“Baba Yaga” is an evil witch character from Russian folklore. I wonder what the connection was.

"The Origin of the BAWM&HC

The Museum began as the personal hobby of Paul Stewart , who, as a child playing cowboys and Indians, always had to be the Indian because, "There was no such thing as a Black cowboy." After Mr. Stewart reached adulthood, he met a Black cowboy - a man who had led cattle drives at he turn of the century - and at that time, vowed to unearth all the material he could on other African American western pioneers."

That is awesome. I’m starting work on my own version tomorrow. God bless Flathead and his partying friends.

actually I found it sad.

Did he ever find time to wipe away his child’s tears, or did he tell the women to abort them all?

Did he ever bother to help his elderly neighbor by mowing their lawn, or help the single mom down the street by changing the oil in her car/

Did he ever hold the hand of someone dying?

Did he ever build a house, plant a tree, or find serenity fishing in a stream?

Did he ever go to church and whisper to God: Thank you?

I would not call this the greatest obit ever published. You should read some of the obits in the London Papers sometime, some of them are very entertaining and much better written.
Having said that I did think that obit was to the point and much less hypocitical than many I have read.
It was funny and I certainly would have liked to have met this guy.
