We just had a fun and educational visit with some interesting folk here at the ranch. I continue to be amazed at how old ranch history just pops up, and this time, the stories were really old.

Peter Welles called me early in the year to find out what was going on at the ranch, and could he and his wife Anita come for a visit in May … of course I said yes! His family built the third log cabin here when my grandfather started our dude ranch business.

Manuel Martinez Jr. had a goal of achieving perfect attendance during his 12 years of schooling.

On his first day of school in the first grade he was so excited to be going to school he said he did not want to miss a day and he did not miss a day in the  years he attended school.

On Friday, Martinez  will graduate from Mora High School and his goal of perfect attendance for the 12 years has been a reality.
