----- Original Message ----- From: OCORDOVA To: Karen Mitchell(Genealogy) Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 12:21 PM Subject: Orphan Photo Karen I saw the orphan wedding photo and I have the following vague recollections: The best man is a Martinez - I cannot think of his first name. The maid of honor is his wife but I cannot think of her name either. I knew of an Abe Martinez who I believe was a nephew to this man - Abe became the owner of a construction company in Colorado Springs in the 1960s. I cannot think of Abe's father's name either. The Martinez owned some ranch land between Walsenburg and Gardner. I know these Martinez' were part of a clan that included the Valardes and Hurtados (through marriage). Tony Valarde was sheriff in the 50s & 60's. I do not know who the bride and groom are either - the groom has a resemblance to the Valardes but doesn't mean much. Like I said, these are vague recollections, but I hope they help finding a home for the picture. Onesimo
