Grangeville images and albums 1962-63

Listed in my Albums are images and sub-albums of 8 seasons as a Missoula Smokejumper. This first Album consists of pictures of my two seasons jumping out of Grangeville in 1962 and '63. Those were very memorable years. This was where I ate my very first Rubarb Pie. Even tho it's been about 47 years, I can still remember many of those experiences as if it was yesterday. My wife can't believe that I can remember that far back and still NOT REMEMBER what she asked me to do an hour ago.
PLEASE NOTE:
With all due respect to those Very Dear Jumper Friends that have passed away, and thier Families, the moments, the events, the memories that I've described in these pictures are memorable and precious to me.
Should any of you, viewing my pictures, have a question or concern, please let me know. My email address is:
rmruiz@conceptcable.com
Thank you!
