1947

 

Pop past away quite a few years ago, when I say Pop that’s what I called him. Actually he was my Grandfather, not that I really knew him all that well, in fact I hardly knew him at all.

Lots of people would have called him a bum or a hobo, but from time to time he would settle, I suppose that’s how he met grandma and in a way that’s how I came about, after dad was born Pop went about on his travels again, he always seemed to be running from someone or something.

Dad used to tell me quite often men would come around asking questions about Pop, but what could they tell them for Pop was there one day and gone the next.

Zy, Now missus you must be slipping, I thought the title was a give away. Then when it mentioned New Mexico I thought you might have guessed then. But I thank you for taking the time to read and comment...Tony (potleek)

 Yes, Tony, I should have clicked but having visited near Area 51 in the Mojave desert near Vegas,

that is where I always associate the alian landing, no excuse but then, less common than 'springtime', Zy
