[Man from Oz]

Thank you for sharing your story. Do you know where your adopted father was born and raised?

My origins are from the same general area (Trinidad). My grandfather and great Uncle were born during the same time and shared the challenges from the Great Depression. I remember them saying how they would eat Robins for dinner. Apparently much like quail ?

I agree. Compared to the life’s challenges that they faced, we don’t know how good we have it.

I am familiar with the Trinidad area and Las Animas county. Thought about moving there for a long time, but now I'm glad I didn't.

Dad's father was one of the first surveyors. As near as I can tell, he was born somewhere in Washington county.

A friend sent an email that gave me a better perspective of what we missed, but I don't have a place to put the pics in order to post them here.

You can see some of them if you do a yahoo search for "1935-1939 - Pictures of the United States" and check out that gallery of our past.
