Harry Reid and his "Engram"

Harry Reid lived his early life in Searchlight, Nevada, in very meager surroundings. His mother was a laundress and his father was a miner.

On one occasion, Harry was taking some laundry in to town for his Mother. They had a donkey they called Tonka, named after a famous Indian chief of the Kiowa tribe. Even though young, Harry could easily handle the sometimes obstinate mule. As they were leaving the yard, a rattle snake reared its head from behind a rock, rattled, and scared the Mule. His movement threw Harry from the small wagon to the ground, and under the stomping fee of Tonka. One glancing blow caught Harry on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.

His Mother, Inez, heard the commotion and went running to her son.

"What happened, she cried?"

"The JACKASS kicked him," came the reply, "The JACKASS did it."

Now, we know the "why" of his actions, and made the man what he is today.
