January 12, 1971 Dear Shelton:

   Sorry, but I'm a rank newcomer too - 1943 - so can contribute nothing to your old timers.

    As you know, I've been involved in much since I've been here, but I'm not a "Palmdale Pioneer." There aren't many left. Yours,

Jane Pinheiro

Dear Mr. Gordon:

    I received your letter today relating what sounds like a most fascinating project. I was thrilled to be called a pioneer and wish I had something to contribute, but since we started week-ending here in 1945 and moved here in 1948, I do not qualify for the assignment.

    I shall be very interested in seeing the final product of this most worth while effort.

   If I think of anyone around here to pass this letter on to, I shall.
Sincerely,

Mary Swan
