COL (Join to see) - One of the problems with my wife's people is the Navajo Reservation is in 4 states and 5 counties. One of my sisters-in-law has to travel over 50 miles to a polling place. She is 86 years old and has never missed an election.

SrA John Monette - We hope so, She is one tough old gal!. Still runs about 30 head of sheep, does all the care for them, including shearing. I have a small weaved rug from her I got about 50 years ago.
