[FRIAM] New Mexico Legacy

[Frank Wimberly]

Thanks for your comments, Jochen and Pam.  When he mentions the quotation
on pages 6 and 7 Jochen is referring to a journal my great-grandmother
wrote as she was traveling by covered wagon on the Santa Fe Trail in 1877.

As for appreciation by family members, some of my cousins were thrilled.
It amazes me how little the rest of my family knows about our history and
origins.  I guess they just weren't interested when our parents and
grandparents told their stories.  At least they don't argue with me the way
my grandfather and his siblings did
