On the Road Again...

Boy! Does that Oakie keep this Pug busy. Last Tuesday morning we were packing in SW Colorado for a road trip south -- all the way down to Odessa, Texas for a visit with Oakie's oldest son. We traveled over 707 miles from Ignacio, Colorado down hwy 550 to I25 and into Albuquerque by dinner time. We spent the night south of Albuquerque in a small community along I25 -- getting up Wednesday morning to head down towards Ruidoso, Trinity Site, Roswell, Artesia (New Mexico) in 60 degree weather most of the way. We made Odessa, Texas around 8pm Wednesday night. We sure did miss the cool, snowy weather of SW Colorado, though. BUT... we had a great visit with "The Family."

Anyone Remember or heard stories that date back to the morning of July 16, 1945, 5:29 a.m. when the U.S. Army experimented with an Atomic blast that turned 500-yard diameter circle of desert into a quarter inch thick plate of radioactive crystals the color of most 1970s major applicances. Today (I read) that it is mildly radioactive and open to the public for one day, twice a year... April, first Saturday & October, first Saturday. You travel about an hour and a half south of Albuquerque, to the Trinity Site where it is isolated in the northern section of White Sands Missile Range. The landscape around and south of Albuquerque looks like it had already been subjected to mass nuclear detonation. It has a dull, mustard-colored, scrub-desert dotted with clumps of tough grass and creosote bush and saphhire blue skies.

We read where this Trinitite has become collector items among many who have ventured on the site. This Trinitite is approximately a half-inch square and a quarter-inch thick, a shiny avocado green - except for thein layers of and on the bottom.

AND... We did NOT get abducted by aliens from outer space as we made our way through Roswell, New Mexico. We have stuck some web links concerning Trinity Site and Roswell in the Mailbag Corner.

Has anyone out there ever heard of a Huskey at Northwestern College during the period between 1939-1943? We have an inquiry in our Mailbag Corner below where someone is looking for records of students from 1939 to 1943 trying to find a given name for a HUSKEY who attended there and got his Medic training there prior to WWII. Can anyone out there have any ideas or information concerning the records and given name of this HUSKEY at Northwestern during that time?
