I'm wondering if this is the father-in-law of my husband's cousin Wayne, son of Ivan, son of Ulry, son of Harrison, etc. Ivan's family moved to New Mexico back in the late 1960s or early 70s and I think all his boys still live in the SW. Wayne is or was employed by the US Forest Service. He may be retired.
