From a rootsweb site, I found an interesting article about Pyote. I can't help wondering if this is where my dad trained pilots on the T-38's or whatever.
This site also talks a lot about the kind of place that Pyote was. In 1930, Wiley B. Hill, [sr], was there working in the oil refinery as a fireman; his son, Rudolph, age 21, was working at the refinery as a chemist. I think my dad, "Bennie", was attending school and playing football!
The spirit of exploring and celebrating where we came from is the work of genealogists. My Dad, "Bennie" Hill, was the quintessential family historian. He caught the bug later in life but spent the next 33 years making up for lost time. Thanks to you, Dad, I'm hooked!
