Did that show ever come to this state?


I have no idea. I have a couple of newspaper articles about Roy, and some of his stuff (not much). Used to have more, but much has gone away. I do have HIS father's pocket watch.....how cool is that? His name was Hezekiah Yates and his initials are scratched in the back. I believe he was the first of my Mom's family to make it out here from Montana.
