The Lively family

C.R.Lively retired some time in the 1930s .He was confined to a wheelchair in later years .His daugher in law (Ken Lively's wife) told me she first met him in a rest home in Durango in 1939.
Ken Lively ran a store in Chama for many years . He had little interest in railroading ,but if you could jog his memory ,what memories he had ! He once told me of an all-day (!) drive to Pagosa Springs in 1914 with his dad .They stopped at the Rio Grande and Pagosa Springs enginehouse at Halfway ,on the Blanco River so Dad could say hello to some railroaders there .He said two engines were under steam there that long-ago summer day . .
Ken was a little senile towards the end of his life . He died about five or six years ago .
