Re: Brinkerhoff Brothers

I posted some photos a few years back of Number 6 & 7 in the Brinkerhoff yard in 1973 before Bob Shank Jr. bought them. I believe they were for sale at the cost of around $10,000.00 at that time. I was traveling with a photographer for the Orange County Register doing some shots of interest in the Durango area. The Brinkerhoffs gave us permission to come onto the property to take numerous close up photos but were being watched very carefully. I had heard rumors that the Brinkerhoffs were not friendly to strangers and was very pleased to get the photos. Ted
