Crier subscriber and former Mildmayite Ted Hesch sent us this very interesting and timely photo due to the recent Coronation of the new King Charles.

The photo was taken at the Sarcee Indian Reserve now known as the Tsuu Tina Reserve located adjacent to Calgary. Ted, in uniform, is pictured at the right. Prince Charles, in the middle of the photo, was in prayer with the local Sarcee Indians. (Thank you Ted for sharing your photo!)
