prune picker

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

Northeast Louisiana Genealogical and Historical Society Meeting 10.09.11

Larry Forman of Special Collections gave an interesting talk on an early Monroe citizen. He was Andrew Myatt who fought at Vicksburg. He lost his right eye to a mini ball. Larry presented a 1913 photograph of Andrew at a convention in Monroe. I really like old photos. I am sorry I can not do it justice.
