My mom grew up in Boulder City, NV and so we always visited my Grandma there and well, she lived extremely close to Lake Mead so we visited often. Most of the men on my Mom's side of the family worked in building the Hoover Dam. I had an great-uncle I never met that was one of the 112 who died on the job. He had been in a big Caterpillar type of equipment, stopped it on not very sturdy ground and when he got out the Caterpillar fell over on him and killed him instantly.<br /><br />Thank you for the great post and giveaway.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Cindy W.<br />countrybear52 AT yahoo DOT comCindy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09030648905662071478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-64603124856579909832017-07-17T17:58:56.984-04:002017-07-17T17:58:56.984-04:00A great post, thanks.
