About a month ago I went to spend a week with my grandpa. We went on a couple drives and ended up at the Morenci Mine where my grandfather worked as a mining engineer for Phelps Dodge. He mostly worked out of Bisbee but was asked to do a few special projects that kept him and his family in Morenci for a few years. I can remember this trip from when I was little. He took us into the big CAT bays where Michael and I did not even come to the center of a tire in height on those big loaders. I had such a wonderful time with him. I learn a new story about my family each time I see him.
I wish i could have known him as a young husband and father. He is so knowledgeable, so professional and respected in his community and beyond. It would have been cool to see him in action.
