RE: brushing shoulders with Holden Caulfield?

I see, the land that my Mom lives on right now has belonged to the family
for over 400 years. All the stories that I know about my ancestors (oral
and written) occurred on the same soil, along the same river, and in the
same mountains that I grew up on. I read a book about my ancestor Manuel
Chavez called "The Little Lion of the Southwest", he was a Colonel that lead
the Second regiment of Volunteer New Mexicans in the Union Army during the
Civil war, Kit Carson led the First. It was funny because I was taught to
have a lot of respect for Kit Carson growing up, and when I was in College
we did a road trip to Taos to have a Drink on his grave in his honor and
When I read the book I learned that he was a respected friend of my
ancestor. Also, after reading, I could see Manuel's ways in some of my
relatives. It is these little things that makes the tierra and hence life
so intimate and fascinating, life is a drug too bad your childhood friends
were never taught this. Now I am not surprised by John's mistrust.

I think the age of the community has a lot to do with this...
