If anyone is so inclined that they would like to submit something of interest, you are more than welcome. Back in 2016, I included a piece by Jere Baker about the Honey Lake Gold Mine near Milford of the early 1930s. I am going to repost it tomorrow.

Baker’s tome might seem intimidating to some for its depth, his work was an excerpt about the life of his grandfather, C.F. Compton.  Maybe you might have a short amusing anecdote to share. I will pass on a amusing one. Way back when, I would visit Alphozene Perry Wood Terril, granddaughter of Ben Leavitt (1835-1915). For those not familiar, Leavitt was an influential person in his time, his lasting legacy of many is the development of the irrigation system for Susan River. Alphozene shared this unique interesting tidbit about her well-known grandfather. On occasion she made his breakfast that consisted of two raw eggs poured into a glass with rock and rye whiskey. That is not the way I would want to start my day.

If you are so inclined, drop me a line—Tim Purdy
