Marvin E. Marshall and Robyn Sutcliffe visited
Crazy Horse Memorial in May 2004. They were so impressed they have now
dedicated this web site to share their experience. Marvin stated, "I
visited Crazy Horse Mountain in 1960 and since that time made Korczak
Ziolkowski my mentor. His incredible dream to carve an entire mountain
dedicated to Native Americans has, I'm sure, inspired many people to go on
with their own dreams. It sure did with me. Many times
throughout my life I thought of Mr. Ziolkowski when faced with what others
claimed would be impossible - and it made the difference".
Mr. Marshall, perhaps not to Mr. Ziolkowski's
level, did aspire to become an inventor and invented Phone Card technology
that allows the use of Prepaid Phone Cards and Prepaid Cell Phones.
(See www.omega2011.com for details of
the Marshall Patents covering the prepaid phone industry).
Mr. Marshall went on to state, "I've traveled extensively throughout
North America and parts of the world and nothing I've seen can compare to
Crazy Horse Mountain as testament to what one person can achieve. See
the Grand Canyon to see what nature carved, and then see Crazy Horse
Mountain for what one man's inspiration carved."
Mr. Marshall is now setting up an endowment that will give 5% of his
royalty earnings on his patents to the Crazy Horse Foundation. It is
expected this endowment will reach into the millions of dollars. This
endowment will be divided between advanced Indian education and funds
towards the completion of Crazy Horse Mountain. |

While visiting the Indian Museum and
Culture Center at Crazy Horse Memorial, Marvin and Robyn had the distinct
pleasure of meeting Native American author Dr. Allen C. Ross - Ehanamani.
Dr. Ross has a display area at the center and can be seen in person during
the summer months. Mr. Ross is not only one of the world's leading
experts on Native American history, but has extensive knowledge in
economics, world history, theology and anthropology. His life
experiences and studies has prompted him to write several books which can be
purchased at the center or online.
Marvin and Robyn had dinner with Dr.
Ross and were treated to not only a delightful evening, but learned a great
deal about Native American history, Indian culture any many aspects and
conclusions of man in general which are destined to open many eyes as to just
who we are.
His book "WE ARE ALL RELATED" won the
top book award at Europe's largest book fair in 1992 and is now in its 15th
printing. Dr. Ross's book on the life of Crazy Horse is a must to buy
for a full appreciation of the Crazy Horse Foundation.

Official Web Site for more information where you can also order his books.

Milestones on
Emerging “FACE” of Crazy Horse |
|
As progress also continued on other areas of the
mountain carving in the round |
|
1987 |
The board of directors of the nonprofit Crazy Horse
Memorial Foundation accepts Mrs. Zlolkawski’s recommendation to shift
emphasis from the 22-story-high horse’s head to Crazy Horse’s 87½ Foot
high face. |
|
1988 |
Comprehensive, in-the-round measurement of the nine
story high face; removal begins of the protective rock Korczak left in
front of the fact to be. Working virtually alone and with extremely
limited resources, Korczak blocked out the upper 70 foot of Crazy
Horse’s and face between 1949 and 1955. From there he spent the rest of
his life blacking out much of the 563 foot high mountain carving in the
round. |
|
1989 |
The first detail work begins on the mountain at the
hairline of Crazy Horse’s 32 foot high forehead; this first detail work
on the mountain involves comprehensive application of the point system
of enlargement, more sophisticated explosive engineering techniques and
the first use of the mountain of the torch for channeling and finish
work; rock removal also continues in front of the lower portions of the
face; first of a series of “open” winters which double the average work
year (and the high costs) on the mountain. |
|
1990 |
The forehead is “rough finished” by May; rock
removal continues in front of the eyes and nose as thinning the face
progresses in the cheek areas; right eye “opens” by the end of the year. |
|
1991 |
Crazy Horse “opens” both eyes by May; lower portion
of the face is blocked-out by removing 17 inches of rock from in front
of the mouth and chin, revealing for the first time the full height of
the 87½ foot high face. |
|
1992 |
The 27½ foot long nose is about two-thirds out in
space by March; thinning continues in the cheek and jaw areas; Crazy
Horse’s emerging profile is enhanced by removal of 17 foot of rock from
above the entire length of the 263 foot long, out stretched arm.
Based on the “track record” of the detail work on the face, Mrs.
Zlolkowski announces a “conservative but realistic” projection for
completion of the face of Crazy Horse (just the face) by the year 2,000. |
|
1993 |
Both eyelids are created, the eyebrows and nose are
further defined and the bridge of the nose is torched (polished) to the
tip; most of the last rock beneath the nose removed in early August
after which the first cut for the lips is completed. Mild winters allow
continued year around work on the mountain. |
|
1994 |
Both eyebrows carved; both nose lobes defined and
tip of nose rounded; upper half of both cheeks cut and polished.
Extensive rock removal continues from the right side of Crazy Horse’s
head. Time consuming detail work removes less rock, takes longer and
costs significantly more. |
|
1995 |
Nose and both cheekbone are rough finished; one
section on the right cheek is cut and smoothed to the jawline; the last
major blast on the face is March 28, 1995. By spring the face is two
thirds finished allowing Mrs. Zlolkowski to advance the completion date
for the face by two years to June 3, 1998, the 50th
anniversary of the dedication of the Memorial. Blocking out the lips
begins, but 1995-96 winters work on the face and the rest of the
mountain is slowed by harsh weather. |

Here you will find all of
the Marshall patents, their history, and how they will become a major
contributor to the Crazy Horse Foundation. |

Mr. Marshall came up with
the most viable solution yet to curb, if not reverse, global warming.
Also, this break-though idea will fund many of the third world counties.
Mr. Marshall has presented the idea to President Carter.
(Unfortunately, their will be no profits here as the idea is a gift to
the world if the political leaders of the industrialized countries can
see the wisdom of the concept). |

A free lyric lookup site
compiled by Mr. Marshall of over 150,000 songs over the last 100 years.
22,000 Authors and 12,000 Artists and Groups are tracked. Can't
remember the title of a song... no problem as you can type in a word,
words or a phrase from the song and immediately a list, in rating order,
of songs will appear with that phrase (or word) along with surrounding
words added to the phrase or word in the search. (No profits here either
as Mr. Marshall is providing the service for free). |

ncluded is documentation starting from the time George Marshall (Marschall) brought his wife Elizabethia, and four children, George Jr., Jacob, Margaretha and Lohann from Bavaria, Germany to the U.S in 1833. George Marshall and his family left the French port of Le Havre aboard the ship "Brig Cervantes" bound for New York City...... (more...click on link to the left) |

Lest we forget. Millions of us are carrying around a very somber reminder in our purses and billfolds everyday and don't even realize it.

Mr. Marshall became
fascinated with the memory foam developed for American astronauts to
cushion against G-forces. Now, even more improved, Foamex, Inc.,
has patented an even superior quality memory foam. Marshall has
licensed the right to market this amazing product. Like with the
royalties from the Marshall Patents, Mr. Marshall is contributing 5% of
profits to Crazy Horse Foundation from this business also. If you
are in the market to purchase a memory foam topper, Mr. Marshall's
prices are very competitive and you'll be helping with the Crazy Horse
Foundation. |
