This is the most wonderful site on the Internet. I just found it! Thank you so much for all you do and the research is out of this world. When are you going to do one on the History of Raton’s La Mesa Park. There is a wealth of information at the Arthur Johnson Library on the track that I researched when I was in Raton for my 50th High School Class reunion. Keep you the good work. You are awesome.
Love all the work you do on this site!
