I had the privilege to met Mr. Douglas several times when I was a young man. Us kids would follow the arroyo north on Saturdays until we came to his place and the pollo fields. He was usually walking around and would give us some kind words. We were there to hopefully be picked to walk the ponies in a circle to cool them off and then they would switch and we cooled the other one down. We made a whopping $5.00 for the day and that was great plus we got to be around horses. Off to the "train shop" or the "Red Barn" to spend our earnings!
