Dick and Shirley Jameson

Dick and Shirley Jameson were kind enough to give us two interviews. The first was on a snowy, cold Sunday afternoon in their home just north of The Gap. It has a wide range of Cuchara history topics

In the second interview, the Jamesons wanted to tell the story and the history of the wagon road that ran from  La Veta to Stonewall through Cuchara.
