My mom's family was at Ghost Ranch from about 60-65. Her dad *was* the maintenance manager and her mom was the housekeeping manager. My aunt's husband is also from the Espanola area and I'm pretty sure they met there more than 40 years ago! So, lots of connections with that area for my family, even though she never took me or my sister up to visit Ghost Ranch.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672673922035857292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12510183.post-61494365535938758222009-12-18T23:16:27.643-07:002009-12-18T23:16:27.643-07:00I would've liked to have gone to McCurdy but w...I would've liked to have gone to McCurdy but we were poor. I went to Española Elementary, Española Jr. High (and later taught there, and that's the sweatshirt Nada's wearing up above), and Española High (now they have Española Valley High). <br /><br />Ghost Ranch is beautiful.Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12510183.post-67768986191555261192009-12-18T23:02:13.703-07:002009-12-18T23:02:13.703-07:00What a coincidence.

Her dad, Frank, was the maintenance manager or something of the sort. My mom has wonderful memories of the college students who would work there during the summers and great memories of Ghost Ranch in general. I think my mom and her siblings attended McCurdy during that time.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672673922035857292noreply@blogger.com
