Ernestae Counts Coup
Ernestae told me he likes to read nonfiction. I had noticed this excellent piece of journalistic writing by Larry Colton while organizing the cart earlier. It is the story of Sharon LaForge, a gifted basketball player and a descendant of one of George Armstrong Custer's Indian scouts. Ernestae is trying to make his way back to Los Angeles. There, he has a home and the prospect of work. He came to Portland to spend an extended holiday with his family, but when he got here, in a sad turn of events, he found himself without a place to stay. The folks at Right 2 Dream Too camp have been instrumental in helping him with housing and connecting him to the resources he needs to bet back home.
