Dewey was the one I thought I was in love with while we were dating, and he told me I wasn't but someday I might be if I came to really understand him.
So, turns out he was right, years pass with him not being around or in contact in any way, and then when I had walked some miles in his shoes, so to speak, it came true.
And years pass again, and bizarrely, I talk about him to a hetero friend of mine and he suggests a book to read, and I'll be damned if that didn't further illuminate Dewey to me, even to the extent I could feel I know him better than he knows himself, and it strengthened the bond. And the book lead to a couple movies, (LOL) Dances With Wolves, and Little Big Man, and I go further from just reading about men like him, to seeing 'permutations' on him.
Why wasn't Dunbar killed by the Sioux? They recognized him as akin to Younger Bear in LBM, as I have recognized Dewey as akin to them both.
And curiously, the very little I've gleaned from the internet about Dewey in the last few years dovetails with all I've figured out. I don't have a current picture of him, but I do of his spouse. Amazing who he looks like, simply amazing . . . and a 'classic' twist on the 'contrary' themes in DWW and LBM . . . .

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
