Jeffrey G Craig says
I had the chance to go to a sweat lodge, build it, and was the newbie. We between Four of us did peyote and found peace in Texas. We built the sweat lodge from scratch it was raining and we still did it. At the time I lived in Austin, TX and after sweat lodge, he installed the Great Spirit in my heart told me to always respect and now I sure miss him because I wanted for him to see how far I came in life. I truly thought he was a professor of teachings in life. I miss him and Love Him Jeffrey Craig and anyone whom I knew during that sweat lodge can get ahold of me, that was around 1998 in San Antonio, TX Mountains where we picked the Peyote. My current wife now is Native American and she wants to know why he installed the Great Spirit in my life. Alvin meant the world to me he also stayed with me for 1 week and taught me illusions that are real. Jeffrey Craig now 57Yrs old
Thank You for being there in my life Alvin don’t. forget me as your brother of war Jeffrey Craig
P. S. I have a PICTURE OF HIM IF YOU WANT IT, Jeffrey Craig
