Matthew, I was born in Emmett in the 1940s. The hospital was probably MARY Secor, which
for years was the fire station and city hall after Walter Knox Hospital was built. My
parents and most of my family is buried in Riverside Cemetery. I would love to take him
around Emmett.

Thank you Virginia and Jen for helping out. It would be great to have this
man's toured without err. I am going to gather some addresses to see where
he can take a look around the city. I don't know if the original family
house might be there but I find what I can and I know he'll want to go
visit his grandmother's grave, she died a horrid death in 1931, and about a
year or so later his father's and siblings were placed in the Boise
Children Home.
I figure if I can get someone in the Boise area to take him to the children
home as the gal I been communicating with there said he's welcome any time
to visit the home.
Also, I wish to send to whoever touring him around to present him this
family history and photos I've gathered for him to take back home to his
own family.
So Time a-wastin ' and I need to get a move on as he'll be there at the end
of October.
