Over the years I’ve been fascinated by history and by the roles members of my family may have played in such events.
One very clearcut situation relates to my grandfather Earl C. Pound and the role he played in the development of the Imperial Valley in California. He arrived when it was a desolate wilderness and led the development, including the building of the Hoover Dam, making it one of the most productive agricultural areas in California.
Of course he wasn’t the only driver in the area but his story makes a fascinating look at how a few strong individuals can make an incredible difference.
