That’s great, Starfoxy — your comment makes these Saints seem that much closer, more real. The building looks like it would make a great little museum.

I’m originally from Prescott, Az so I’m very tickled to see a familiar location. That building has long since been sold and, I believe, is being used as a realty office. Which is really too bad because there is a lot of history in that building, though I will admit there is little practical use for it now. I’d hope that someday it could be bought back and used for something.

I really would like to interview these people. I have money that says that in El Paso in 1931 there was at least one older family that was still practicing you know what.

I’ll bet you’re right, bbell … wouldn’t you like an afternoon with them and a voice recorder?

Great school of education and he wants to be a teacher, God bless his soul. Oh, and the fact that the straight girl – straight guy ratio is somewhere around 10:1 doesn’t hurt. As he says, “The scenery is great!”

The folks from El Paso would largely be former refugees (and descendants) from the Mexican colonies correct? The stories they could tell…

For this reason El Paso for many decades is where the church has been strongest in TX. Its not the case now but fleshes out the reason for a such a large gathering in TX in 1931

If I close comments on this thread, it isn’t because of the personal conversation but because we’re under attack by a spambot (153 attempts to post drug spam on this post in the last three hours). So far Akismet, may its name be praised, is holding the fort.

Sorry, Partlow doesn’t ring a bell. Though I’ve been in this area for 14 years, I’ve only been in this ward (having moved into a newly-built home) since this time last year.

A Stake-split two years ago moved the Rock Hill ward into a different stake, so I don’t get the opportunity to meet people over there much.

Let me know if you’re headed down for a visit. Carolina Bloggersnacker!

PS, why Winthrop? What is he studying?
