When asked what it's like to grow up in a house full of people, Lucy says, ''My_ older brothers and sisters took care of me, carried me, dressed me and fed me. J·lother was busy all the time. She never stopped. The older kids had to help with the younger ones because mother had onl y a little time to spend with each child. When Lucy was 4 year s old her parents, Cornelio and Ferminia Val dez decided to leave Blanco., New Mexico, and moved to a farm south ot.: Ignacio . "When I look back on those days, I think how poor we were, especially compared with today. We each had one set of clothes and one pair of shoes. When the shoes were worn. completely out, father would try to buy us another pair. 11 •Father and the boys were always busy on the farm. They raised grains and hay. We produced our own potatoes and beans and corn and everything else we· could grow • . Mother dried apricots and peaches and vegetables. In the fall our cellar was full of potatoes, squash and apples. After it was cold enough, the butchering would start. The hams were coated with curing sugar, wrapped with cheese cloth and stored in the cool house. We hung a leg of beef outside and cover it with a sheet. Whenever we wanted meat we went out and-cut off whatever portion was needed. In the spring the leg of beef was moved into the cool house until it was used up." "We seldom ever came to town except to go to mass on Sunday. Dad and the boys hitched the team to the big wag,on. To keep our dresses clean we threw quilts into the back of the wagon. If the weather was bad we stayed home and Dad read the Bible to us. 11 Transpor tation in the ol d days s eems slow to people today, but it was dangerous at times . Lucy. recal ls , 1.ronce Dad and Mother and Mary wer e ·driving the wagon from La Boca to Ignacio. When the tail of one of the horses got caught in the reins, it became very frightened and bolted. Tlm •Wagon turned ov·e r . Dad and Mary were unhurt, but Mother I s leg was broken, · After Dad got the wagon t ipped up again, he lifted Mother inside and brought her to Dr . La Forge ." • Like most children of her generation, Lucy loved to ride horses. 11 We always rode bareback to br ing the cows in. We liked to ride fast and to race, At that time I woul d rather ride horses than anything." Lucy got to go to school in the country a few years, then the family moved to town. "I was a little afraid to go to school in town because I could speak hardly any English, but I met Jesse Stauffer and Frences Copeland and they became good friends. Within a week or so I could get along with the English pretty well. I began earning my f irst money washing and ironing clothes for Mrs. Wayt (Vida Ritter 1 s mother). I went earl y before school t o wash and hang the clothes. At noon I would take them off the line and sprinkle them. Then in the evening I ironed them. I made $. 7 5 an hour doing that. 11 11 I . Dad didn t care for dances, but Mother loved them. She often took us kids to the dances at the S.P.M.D.T.U. Hall. It was at one of the dances there that I met Andy Duran. Andy's first wife had dierr some time before. We dated for about two years and then decided to get married. Andy Duran was born in Purango on October 29, 1902. His mother died when he was still a small child, so his grandpa.rents raised him \ ) �3. ;i,, in Rosa, N.M. Andy quit the 8th grade to go to work on . the railroad. He was still working on the railroad when he and Lucy were married. The Dura.t1s have 1 O children, Andy Jr., Cornelio, .Jack, Orlando, Rudy·, . . -1 Lillian, Eileen, Corinne, Martha and Yolanda. As a railroad employee Andy and his family had free tickets to ride the train. Most of their travel was back and forth to Durango for shopping and visits. In 194-1 Andy was moved to Rico as Section Boss. After a couple of years there he got an opnortunity to·work in the mines at Telluride and Ophir and stayed with that for 12 years. That is definately not easy work, but living ther e provided a magnificent place for the children to grow up . Probably no place in this country has more spectacular scenery or more opportunity for outdoor fun than the mountains around Telluride. Lucy remembers, 11 0ur house was full of fishing gear, snow shoes and skiis. The boys were.out camping or hiking or fishing er hunting as much as they could. Even today the boys take their families over there and 11 camp and fish and· try to share that beautiful place with their children. Boys, even good boys like Andy' s and Lucy ' s, are r ascally at times. They were in and out of mischief, 11 Lucy recal ls . "I especially remember the time they and their friends were dar ing one another to ride the tram cable across the valley." A trara withbig ore -buckets carr ied the ore from the mine down to the mill. Unknown to us the boys had been daring one another to jump up and grab a hold of the. cable and hold on until it carried them across the valley to the next hill where they could jump off. I guess some of them had been doing :tt. Finally, it was Cornelio 1 s time. What he didn't know was how close it was to 12:00 noon. At noon the mine whistle went off and everything, including th0 tram stopped while the miners had lunch. Cornelio was about half ';Jay across the valley when the whistle blew and the cable stopped. Well, i no one can hold on for an hour. Cornelio's arms gave out, he fell and fortunately, only broke a leg. 11 For several years the family lived in company housing at the mine at Altus. Sometimes we were sno\.;red in for a week, but we always had plenty of coal· and plenty of food stoclrnd u:p. Avalanches would cover the roads and the big rotary plows would haYe to come. dig it all out. 11 As anyone kno,;.1s who lives around Ignacio, Andy and Lucy have wonderful children. Their method of child rearing is as follows: nwe always tried to make our children understand that God should be first in peoples lives and then a good education so that they can earn a living and be of use to others. Children should be whipped when they are bad .until about age 12. From then on they have minds of their oi<m and if they haven't learned right from wrong by then it 1 s probably too late, anyway. 11 When the mines closed around Tellurinde about 1954, the Du.rans moved back over to Ignacio. Andy did farm work around this area until it was time to retire. But like many other active people have discovered, retirement is not necessarily that much fun. So Andy is working again this summer. When asked if there is something she would like to do that's never been possible, Lucy replies, 11 ! have al\•mys dreamed of going to Rome to see the Pope, but that's a long way over there. 11 Even if Lucy never gets to go, she and Andy can look back on a panarama of ,life experiences with many good memories. Their lives have sp2...nned great changes in this country :nl they still enjoy- good heal th, \._) We wish them many more years of health and happiness and their children many more reunions at Telluride. · Shelby Smith 11 �September 19 ·senior Social (with a session on Arthritis) Welcome to our Sentember Social!
