Nichols
blog
Paul Nichols posted his reminiscences of growing up at 1122
Seventh St. during the 1950-60s. Then he collected his blogs
into Just Seven Blocks from the Mexican Border, which
is available from amazon.com. You'll laugh at his stories, nod
your head in recognition of the people he writes about, and
learn what it means to be a DHS Bulldog.

Keeter
Stuart
Keeter is Stan Jones' talented nephew and he's put out a CD of his own songs as will as one covering his uncle's songs.
My recommendation: Get both. Keeter's Marshall Tuckerish-version
of "Ghost Riders" on his CD titled "Just" really rocks!

Agua Prieta
Sonora Mexico
Is the title of
a website posted by borderlands resident Cesar Carreaga.
It's an extensive collection of photographs of Agua Prieta
that show the events that took place there and the people
who lived there. Remember Los Apsons? They're in there.
