Grandpa holds a special spot in my heart. I loved the smell of the Cherry Blend tobacco he smoked in his pipe, a smell that today can take me back to their home on Osage in Albuquerque. And his old Crosley in the garage. What a tiny car! Just my size!
I was staying with my Grandparents the summer of 1966 as Mom and Dad prepared to enter the missionary field to Costa Rica. I remember Grandpa taking me to watch the Albuquerque Dodgers and buying popcorn and other stuff to eat until I'm sure I turned green around the gills. But what fun!
A few days later, he took me out for a day of sailing on the lake in his boat. In retrospect, I suspect he really didn't feel all that energetic, for shortly thereafter, after dropping me off at Aunt Ann's in Farmington to "help" move them across the state to Raton, Grandpa and Grandma returned to Albuquerque. It was then that Grandpa was diagnosed with acute Leukemia.
Uncle Paul flew us down to Albuquerque as Uncles, Aunts and Cousins arrived. With no room in the house to bed down, the young male cousins bedded down on the flat garage roof. In the middle of the night, we were awoken by sudden activity below. Cars started up and hurriedly sped off into the blackness... and I knew... Grandpa was gone. I miss you Grandpa. David
My father worked for the Santa Fe Railroad for all his working years. During the depression he was laid off for several months and he would go in just about every day to see if he could get a job. He was off for6 to 8 months. When he retired they did not offer him the information that he needed to work to make up those months and so lost his pension for those months.
