Robert Gilmore Binnion (1879 -1970) talks about growing up in West Texas
Some family history, as told by my Great-grandpa Binnion to my aunt, just before he passed.
He talks about when he saw Geronimo after he surrendered. I can remember visiting him in the hospital before he died, but I didn't really know him very well as I was pretty young at the time.

I'd like to have that old car. It looks like it might be a mid 30s Oldsmobile. Not positive though.

Thanks for sharing that video Sanders.
Brings back memories of listening to the older folks when I was a kid. He even sounded like some I knew. |

That's quite a bit of history! He lived to see some pretty major developments in the history of our nation. He remembered Oriville & Wilber and the first landing on the moon for Christ's sake.
