Neat, Chops!! Are those "shanties" former MOW cars, or just box cars that had windows implemented?

Thanks, Barry. I believe Gordon was installing these pieces just about
the time I met and joined the Club. I rather like the way he was able
to bring out the glass and ceramic jars and jugs on the foremost
shanty. He was always very meticulous in everything he did.

I had heard he passed away, and then about six months later
ran into him at the public library. Quite to my surprise, the
"reports of his death were greatly exaggerated." I elected not
to pass this newsworthy item over to him, just the same; my
shock being enough to handle.

He had taken up dry dirt gold mining, north of El Paso, in a chancy
little town that time, and pretty much the rest of the world, forgot,
called Oro Grande. Not much Oro, and even less grande.

Gordon, from his days in the field, eating and breathing dirt from the
dry mining process, looked rather ghostly, as he was covered
from hat to boot in a fine layer of New Mexican dust, but otherwise
looked quite healthy.

This be a true story.

Some fragmentary recollection of a brief conversation with Gordo
leads me to think he said, "Revell." That was before he died and
reappeared in the library.
