Transcript of Narration:

I had uncles that went from-from cattle farming and ranching to moving to the coast to live just in uh, on a city lot.

You know his life changed uh in a big way uh from growing up uh as of, you know on the family farm with other brothers nearby that were all you know all part of the big uh ranch.

Um, that-that all changed for them uh so that all disappeared.

Unless you see old photographs of-of the farming community down there you wouldn’t realize that it was farmland and uh there was community hall, schools, uh you know in the past.

That that was all gone there you know.
