Hi Sandy, Thanks for all the good information. If I don't get the obit through e-mail, I will try one of these methods. I have a film reader at the house. I took a CAD class in Glendale in the mid 80's. I had an uncle who lived there for a number of years. He had returned to Cedar Rapids, IA and died there in 1962. His daughter lived there for a number of years and now she is at Palm Desert (much too hot for me). Since you live up there do you know anything about the movie industry? I have Crago/Craigo's in my line. My mother was a Crago. George Crago had some kind of traveling show (minstrel) with some of his brothers. Supposedly one of the brothers was smaller and he would dress up like a girl. He was suppose to be killed by a bear in the hills of Chico, CA. I've never been able to confirm this. Chico is in Butte Co. I found on the California death list, some Crago's had died in that county. I guess I should try to persue this again. A nephew of George, James Crago moved to Los Angeles. He was b. 1888. My mother said that they were in the movie business. I assume that they had something to do with the business and not stars. It is suppose to warm up down here. But we have a heavy marine layer. Yesterday, was sweatshirt weather.
