Making "Dego Red" Contributed by Norm Sams (circa 1970)

Martin Vigil submitted the following 4 photos of the Sopris area. The "Blasi Bridge" shot is outstanding! In the shot showing the church and St. Thomas school........the home on the extreme left just below the school was the home of "Sandro Sanchez' " (ID'd by Martin). The home at left center, just below the Church belonged to "Ercole Volpe" (ID'd by Joe Terry). Can't figure out who lived in the Two Story home on the mid-right of the pic??

This picture of the "St. Thomas Grandmas", September 22, 1950, was contributed by Sister Olivia Marie Bellegante.
