FAMILY HISTORY #001

Subject: Maternal grandfather
Date: 1917 to 1927, 1937-1950
Location: Texas, New Mexico, or Arizona

My grandfather once related a story about himself when he was younger. He was originally born in Sweetwater, Texas. He mother and father died, and he was sent to go and live with an aunt. He would run away and spent time between an orphanage and his aunt's home until one day he decided to run away and walk to California. He traveled by foot and road to California, crossing the desert highways.

One night will on his journey, he remember he was feeling quite ill. That night he claimed that angels came down from heaven and made him better. He remembers a ball of light, some figures, and then the next morning he felt all better. My grandfather was a religious man and believed this was a religious experience.

My grandfather's occupation was a mason and construction worker. He was contracted to help build many of the freeways in Southern California. He once related a story about how he was working and the government asked for skilled mason to work for them. They were picked up in bus with tinted window and sent to a location in which they need to have a decontamination shower before and after there work. The reason why this is mentioned is because the facility he worked at was similar to the underground mountain military facilities found throughout the Sierra Nevada (think like Stargate-SG1). He never said what he was doing, only about the buses, the odd showers, and working somewhere in the mountains.

Unable to verifying any other account due to the fact he is deceased as of 1986.
