Small world . . .

Yes, the Lukeville kids are bussed to Ajo these days -- it's a big
controversy since some of them actually live in Mexico. Ajo is even
smaller now that the mine is closed, we about 4000 people year round,
maybe 4500 in the winter. Organ Pipe, though, is booming, despite all
the bad publicity (it's on the Top 10 Most Dangerous Parks list).

Gabrielle,

My dad was a park ranger at Organ Pipe 1948-51, and I started school in
Lukeville. I understand that the one room school there has been
decommissioned, and the kids from Lukeville now come to Ajo. We did our
shopping in the big city of Ajo.
