Emma was my great grandmother and Clifford was my grandfather. I met “Uncle Clay” a few times on his visits to California. A very nice man. Loved hearing his train stories!
Hi cuz,
Thanks for sharing. I’d love to hear some of Clay’s train stories, as I was too young to know to ask him about his life as an engineer. I did meet Emma one time when our family was in CA. Didn’t she live to be over 100 years old?
