Just yesterday I mentioned in passing that someone on FBBO was selling a 1970 Roadrunner project and her immediate response, without even looking up, was, " Honey, one car at a time."

My great grandfather was the guy for whom Bisbee AZ was named. I'm the first Bisbee to EVER live in Bisbee AZ. Owned Mrs. Bisbee's Crystal Palace Ice Cream Emporium.

Interesting Ghostrider, I always wonder how places get their names, now I know about Bisbee! Do you still live there??? I have not made it over there yet, but I am widening the circle all the time.

Small world! Well here's the whole story: Around 1878-9 there was a small party of Army scouts and local Indian guides out and about, looking for ore deposits with the aim of ultimately sinking a shaft in an ore rich location in order to extract copper for telegraph wires etc... They noticed some promising rock outcroppings and dug around some, finding what would become the Copper Queen Mine which ran from 1879-1979 with out stopping. While the military and the gubmint were interested in getting the copper they were less interested in mine speculation. So to defray their risk they cobbled together several investors from among the well to do in the country. My ancestor, Judge DeWitt Bisbee of Sanfrancisco put up around $100,000.00 for the effort towards sinking a shaft and getting an ore processing rig up and a smelter operation up and running. As you might imagine there are a lot of parts to an operation like that, not to mention workers, living quarters, whores, booze,....you see the picture? So a small boom town grew up around the mine which became more promising by the hour. Within a year they had yanked so much copper, gold, silver, turquoise, and other minerals out of the ground that they were able to pay off all investors and get a real town laid out and up and running. The word went out to the investors to travel to the site to get paid off and hold a meeting to decide what to name this burgeoning city. Everyone made it except the Judge, he died of pneumonia on the way. The rest voted unanimously to name the town Bisbee in his memory. Bisbee AZ quickly became the smoking hottest spot between St louis and Sanfran, boosting a territorial jail, a large 'Boot Hill" with several famous residents and an entire gulch full of bars and whore houses, and a real live United States Stock Exchange. The chalk board from the exchange is still up on the wall in the Stock Exchange Bar and Grill and has all of the stock prices and info still on it from 1929 when the exchange closed. If you go, order the prime rib, it's to die for. I am the very first Bisbee to ever reside in Bisbee. They actually asked me to run for Mayor. lol.

A bit off topic but....

IIRC some/most of them still live down there...
