Pat and Harvey,
Pat, the "oilman" part made me slip a gear, it is Anderson, not Armstrong. As to the gear-slipping, seems to be happening more often today than in the '60s!!!
Harvey, right on location I believe. I know it wasn't in Roswell.
Back in the day, My old man was a noted stone and brick mason, one of three that was "licensed" to do work on State Historical sites, etc. He rebuilt the fireplaces in the Chisum ranch house and also did several in the Santa Fe Plaza. He also built a fireplace in Greentree, NM for the widow of Bob Crosby (champ rodeo guy). Her son owned a lumber yard there and wanted to put in a freestanding metal fireplace. He had told her that the winds would never let a regular firplace keep from smoking up the house. Anyway.... my Dad built it, and told her to let it cure for two or three weeks weeks, then tie down her dog when she started the fire, so he woudn't get sucked up the flue. We were eating supper some weeks later and the phone rang, she called to tell my Dad she had the dog tied down! He was pretty good at that work, but unfortunately, the Old Crow got in the way a lot!!!
And last but NOT least... MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE..and Best Wishes for 2014
