Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday January 11, 1995 Around The Hat by Doris Valle When I was in San Diego recently, my hostess friend, Mona Dew, asked, Doris, when are you going to move back home? talked, I was sharply aware that the San As we Diego I once knew and loved is gone. The voices of many friends of the past are silent. The restaurants that had been my choices for a night out are closed and new ones have taken their place. Stores where I shopped bear new names. When I lived in that area, I took the children to cook their weenies over a fire at dusk on Ocean Beach. We watched the sun sink into the sea and listened to the waves lap against the sand. Now that beach is turf for drug dealers. Twenty-eigh- t years is a long time. My San Diego is no more. And I suspect that the Doris Valle who lived there is also long gone. In fact, I doubt that I would know the Doris Valle who moved to Mexican Hat some Nor twenty years ago. would I recognize our village today if I had not been on the spot, watching as the years rolled by. The trading post and trailer park where I live d strucwas a ture. Howard and I lived in half of the downstairs space and the other half was the store. At present Howard is in Arizona and I live in the upper floor. Downstairs is all store, office, and storbarn-shape- age. The main building sticks out in all directions with the addition of a walk-i- n freezer and refrigerator, a laundromat, and a couple of decks out from my living quarters. We bought the place from Emery and Maude Hunt. They were our neighbors behind the LDS Church in a mobile home. Their yard was always beautiful. Maudes roses proved that flowers will grow in Mexican Hat. Emery died last year in Salt Lake City, complaining to the end because he wasnt living in Mexican Hat. Louise Leber leases the area where he and Maude lived. The flowers are long gone. There was a bar south of my property. Wes Shurr owned it and Ron Bigg leased it for a time.

Luther and Sylvia Risen-hoovused to live in a mobile home behind the bar. Now Sylvia is alone with her daughter, Louise Leber. Originally, Tom and Kay Knight were in the Mexican Hat Trading Post. It is now leased by Phil Burch and Chuck Burand. The post office was there er and Myrtle - I cant remember her married name but she was one of the Hunt family - was the postmistress. The restaurant next to the trading post was the Desert Queen. Phyllis and Malcolm Hones ran the Desert Queen until Mai went off somewhere and Phyllis did a solo act for a time. Bill and Judy Davis were at the San Juan Motel and Trading Post. Bill had two teen-age- d sons, Scott and Buff, and Judy had a daughter, Terry, and a son, Rooney, by another mar- riage. Scott and Buff are still in the area, but Bill lives Black Oil Company still owns the Texaco Station. Reuben Carson was running it when I came here, but the management just changed again for about the sixth time. Twenty years ago Bill Skeen had most of the local oil leases and kept digging wells. George Petty took care of the oil interests of Jack Williams. Bill calls Oklahoma City home but he is still here every summer searching for more oil. Petty is still seen around the wells. As is Doris Valle, walking on the slopes north of town. The moving finger moves a lot of people from one place to another as time passes. Im startled when I realize that Sylvia, Bill, George, and I are the old guard, sole survivors of the old days. For our sins, I suspect. Births The San Juan Motel is Mark and bigger now. Julie Sword own it, but they are in Durango most of the time. Mike Tonge, Marks brother, is in charge of op- erations. Opal Kleppe ran the Canyonlands Motel when I Oscar and came here. Connie Eneboe bought it. These days Juanita Denny runs it while the Eneboes relax somewhere in a more pleasant climate. The post office is now in the old laundromat building which Everett Neff still leases. Steve Keller is our very competent postmaster. The laundromat stopped being a laundromat when one of Faye Nelsons daughters was killed there Public notice Juan County Commission will hold hearing at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan- The San a public uary 17, 1995, in the Commission chambers in the Courthouse in Monticello for the purpose of soliciting public comment on the proposed increase in the general fund budget.
