Yesterday Billie Cal asked for information on the Ingraham family. I submitted Art Ingraham and his two children Lovell and Margaret. I was wring about the name of the daughter. Lavera McDaniel immediately contacted me to remind me that the daughters name was Loretta. I do apologize for this mistake. I guess the old memory is beginning to flag. I wish to recount a story involving Art Ingraham and me, about 70 years ago. This incident labeled me as being pretty dumb, and falling for an old old joke amongst tradespeople. My family was constructing a new house in 1936, and I was hired to be a "gopher". One day one of the carpenters became quite agitated over some missing material necessary to complete the construction. Thus I was sent to Art Ingrahams hardware store to purchase some white lampblack. Art searched the back room diligently and reported that he was fresh out of that material. He sent me to a hardware store operated by Tom Denson. Tom Denson was sort of a crabby old man, so when I told him what I wanted, he glared at me and told me to return to the carpenters and tell them that he too was fresh out. I did this, and was amazed at the hilarity among those men. The sent me back to Art to have him look again for this stuff. I did. Art again sent me back again to Tom Denson. Tom then glared at me and said that ! I was a fool and to think about what I was asking for. It then dawned on me that I had been sent on a Modoc version of a snipe hunt. Think about it, WHITE- LAMP BLACK. I have never since been so humiliated. Just a gullible kid, or I hope that was what I was then. Ron
