Karena,

My pleasure. Got one other story for you. Back in the 40's Yellow Aster set up a land dredge off Goler Road which amounted to them digging a very large pit and filling it with water and putting a dredge on it. Well, Uncle Charlie signed up to be there the first day of operation on the dredge. When he showed up for work, all the water had drained out overnight! Turns out, the pit had been dug over the area of my Grandfathers mine shaft and the thin covering of dirt gave way and all the water had drained out thru the mine!

Also Uncle Ralph Behrens (Charlies older Brother), when operating the dredge somehow managed to turn the dredge over!

Ah yes, there is alot of history out there Karena and lots more I could tell you.
