To help me select the participants in this book, I turned to the members of the South Dakota Peace and Justice Center, with whom I had been long associated. The Center put out a call to their members for nominations for the book and received over fifty marvelous nominees. From this group the SDPJC Board of Directors helped me edit the list to the fifteen elders who were invited to participate.
From January of 1995 through the early summer I traveled the region interviewing and photographing the elders. It is impossible to express in written form the depth of the experiences. The landscapes, the communities, the homes, the families, the kindness and hospitality of the elders were learning experiences on many levels. I used a standard set of questions in the interviews though occasionally I omitted one or more.

Note: On the publication of the eBook version in 2011, many of the elders in this book have passed on, leaving us the goodness of their lives including their words in this book.
A: I have been given great joy in my life by the love of family and friends and people in general, and I interpret that as the love of God coming through them. I also received much happiness through my work, as I always loved my work. When I think of the afterlife and think of some people’s description of heaven as doing nothing! I don’t think it’s going to be that way. I hope we will have things to do; we will continue to be productive.
