Moving to a Grants to graduate...1960
 |
| GRANTS, NEW MEXICO MINING |
Albuquerque was left below in the valley, as the “57 Chrysler drove west
up the nine mile hill. Red rock
formations stood majestically in the desert, as Route 66 wound its way to
Grants, New Mexico.
I was on my way to Grants to graduate from high school but I
was with Mom, Bronco and Deryl. When Mom
received my letter Deryl quit his job in Dulce and they came for me in Albuquerque.
Dottie had not been happy when I left. Her parting words to Mom were, "Wanda, Gloria will never graduate from High School"
“There’s a sight for sore eyes,” Deryl said as we approached some road construction. The Chrysler parked on the side of the highway, and Deryl walked over to the heavy equipment. He was smiling when he returned to the car.

“I start work Monday morning.”
I was touched that Deryl and Mom cared enough about my
graduating that they would move to Grants.
