Sunday
This is from Richard. We are talking about getting old. Leona took about an hour to read all the
obits from around Sandoval and Willcox.
Some of the deceased were older than me and some of them I knew. http://www.wjbdradio.com/index.php?f=obits
We read about Harold
Joyce. He was a banker in
Sandoval. He was a good one to have. I missed him
when I moved to Willcox.
I would tell the people here in Willcox that I missed my Sandoval banker more
than anything else when I moved. Before I
went to Arizona I had a pad of blank notes from him at the bank and he told me that you
could put the amount here and date it and sign it and he will take care of me. He always said that if I wanted to
buy some machinery or some cattle, just to write a check and when I
came to town we would take care of it.
He would hold it till I could come to town. (He knew I was a good customer.)

In my early years in Willcox, I was trying to work with my big banker here. He was giving me a hard time. I told him about my pad from the Sandoval Bank. He couldn't believe me. I
should have told him that all he had to do was give me a pad of notes like Sandoval did for me. And we would take care of it. The
banker came to the store a few days later and said he wanted to see that pad of
notes I had so I had to pull it out of the drawer to show him.

John and his
family went up to the Chirichua Mountains today and tonight for a picnic so we were by
ourselves.

Well Dan, I hope you have
some soybeans sowed though I am not pushing you cause it is still early.
