Thanks! That is from the same "photo session" in Nogales AZ. One shows her drinking from a can of coke. The can is red with white diamonds, so it dates it to late 50's early '60s. That's before I was born and I was third in line after my brother and sister.

Here's my mom with their wares. Wouldn't it be neat to shop there!

I know this is a Rocky Point board, but since we're a little off subject, I do have a couple of photos of what may be Puerto Vallarta, around '59-'60. My father is standing next to a man lying down, I have no idea who is that man. At right of the thatched roof bar are a couple of blue VW panel...

Nice. Thanks, Great Carnac. Any body have current photos of the Gillespie house? I barely remember it. Tried to look for it on Google Earth, found an "L" shaped building kind of south edge of the estuary. Maybe that's the stone building?

How interesting. I can only repeat what was told to me by my parents. I'm sure there's a lot more to the story.

Oh yeah. Too bad kids didn't care about taking pictures in the '70s. All we did was go to the beaches every single day, then play with the neighbor kids 'till it was dark. Then, after dinner and showering (water pressure only available at night), my father would listen to CBS news, which would...

When we drove in, we only went past the "oasis," never visited his mine. I don't think I ever knew where it was located. The trip was around 1970, or 1971, so there were no other man made structures visible anywhere. Sadly, no photos. As kids back then, photos weren't even a consideration. My...

There is so much that I've forgotten. Here's a tidbit, my father almost bought the old Post Office right on the hill at the port. I believe it's now a hotel. He was afraid the government would "repo" it. Another early memory is one night we got a young man, around his twenties, knocking at our...

Pretty neat! The copy given to my father wasn't signed by the author, but by Mr. Gillespie. I'll have to search for it. I have absolutely no idea how my father and Mr. Gillespie knew each other. My father moved to Mexico after WW II, married my mother who is from Sayula, Jalisco. Together they...

My father was a friend of Mr. Gillespie. He is mentioned in the book "Gillespie's Gold." James Gibson, or as he preferred "Jaime," would often host Mr. Gillespie in our home in Rocky Point. One summer, when I was around twelve, my father, my sister and myself were invited to stay at his home at...

Hello Mr. Castle. My father knew Mr. Gillespie. He was mentioned in the book "Gillespie's Gold." James Gibson, or "Jaime" as he liked to be called, would frequently host him for visits in town. I recall one summer, I was maybe twelve, he invited us to visit his home at "La Pinta." My father, my...
