My dad’s job building natural gas plants and pipelines in 1955. What is your fondest memory of Bayfield since you have been here? The Fourth of July parades; the huge rodeos in the summer. Do you have a historical memory of something special that has happened in Bayfield? Movie “When the Legends Die.” Stopped on Buck Highway and questioned about a murder on road (late 1950s). �This section written by Phyllis for Brenda Jones of the Bayfield Senior Center as part of the Bayfield Biographies project and is shared here with permission from Bayfield Senior Center and from Phyllis herself. Phyllis Heffington Ludwig Hi, my name is Phyllis I was born March 11, 1942 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Russellville, Arkansas. Moved to Canute, Oklahoma, when I was 10 days old where my dad farmed, then to Burns Flat, Oklahoma. Also to a farm and finally to Elk City, Oklahoma to yet another farm. �When I was 5 years old, we moved to Danville, Arkansas where my dad went to work for his brother at his sawmill. At age 6 I started school in Danville, went there for three months then moved to Belleville, Arkansas where my dad farmed and worked at a service station. Third grade rolled around and that found us moving to the Navajo Reservation in Ramah, New Mexico where my dad went back to work for his brother at a sawmill. My older brother Donald and I enjoyed spending our free time exploring nearby cliff dwellings and looking for fossils… quite an education for us both. Fourth grade found us living in Smith Lake, New Mexico, fifth, sixth & seventh grades were spent living in Thoreau, New Mexico. My dad changed jobs, going into the construction business building gas plants. This job took us to Runge, Texas. I was in the eighth grade and the BIG school had me pretty up tight. The next job brought us to Bayfield, Colorado, where I started the ninth grade….remained here until my sophomore year, then came Grants, New Mexico, Winston New Mexico, Cuchillo, New Mexico and then Dubach, Louisiana. Probably one of my happiest days was when dad came home from work & stated that we were moving back to Bayfield. I graduated from Bayfield High School in 1959. After graduation, I worked for a CPA and a lawyer in Durango before beginning my banking years …seventeen in all. I married Gerald in 1962 (had dated since our junior year in high school) our first son, Ricky, was born in 1964, his sister Tracie joined us in 1967 and our third child Ronnie was born in 1977. While we were raising our family, I also worked for Le Platt LP Gas, Turner Industrial Bank, Burns National Bank, Ignacio State Bank; and on Saturdays, I worked at the Bayfield Post Office. The Post Office finally became my one and only job (other than raising our family). I became Postmaster in 1979 and retired in 2003. Gerald and I now operate the Ludwig Ranch just south of Bayfield; we enjoy our eight grandkids and raise cattle and horses, a wonderful way to “retire.” My other interest have been volunteer work for the Pine River 4-H Club, LaPlata Council on Aging, SPAC, Pine River Senior Center, Upper Pine River Fire Department Auxiliary and the local museum. I find my greatest blessings are my family and the friends I have made along the way. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
