Q: I guess I haven’t met Donna Jean.
A: Well, she is married to Robert Reid. They live out in Spanish Valley . She is Donna Reid.
Q: I can’t remember why I went there. I think it had something to do with the Museum. They were nice folks.
A: Yes. They have a large place out in the Valley there.
Q: Well, this neighborhood is pretty much the same as it has always been?
A: Quite a bit. It has changed though. On the corner this vacant lot, used to be the old Goodman home. And I’m just sorry there isn’t a picture of that.
