1971 - Davis Ranch, Sonora Texas


I was six years old and it was shearing day.   A large part of our annual income depended on the sale of wool and mohair, but I didn’t know or care about that part of it. My only thought was to get down to the pens as soon as mom would turn me loose when I heard that ancient pickup rattle up the road at daybreak carrying its crew of four or five Hispanic men.  Dad would meet the tr...

Visiting My Ancestry - The Story of Tom and Buena Davis, part 1

For me, it began with a love story. But not a romance. It was a story about the love that a child has for her grandparents.
