   I’m not sure why I put it here in 2018. Delia died in 1985 and Fletcher died in August of 1989. They are both buried in the Searles Valley Cemetery.

   My Aunt Delia, and Uncle Fletcher used to run this mine. Last time I saw Uncle Fletcher was 1987. My brother and I painted some buildings for him.
   I went back about 2 years later. And his caretaker said he was dead. And ran me off with a shotgun.

      Hi, Kelly. I met your uncle Fletch a few times in the 1980s. What a wonderful story he had to tell. I wrote it down and have some pictures, if you are interested. He’s one of those people I will never forget. You are welcome to use my email to reply.
