Mama Carr – Apple Peddler

I had read on a genealogy site a comment about Mama Carr pedding apples from a buggy.  I asked my mother(Juanita Rush) about that, and this is her response:

This is quite true. She drove two horses (a team) and a wagon, not a buggy. We never owned a buggy. Buggies cost more than we had. A wagon was used on the farm for all sorts of work and also for transportation if you could not afford a car. (more…)

Lisa Boswell Lakotish meets former USS Carr crew member.

I was waiting at a favorite restaurant in Bernalillo, NM Sunday when I saw a man warring a USS CARR hat.

I spoke with him and found out he was on the ship a few years ago.  He knew the history of the ship. I told him how I was related to Paul Carr. It was a nice conversation.
