Morenci and the Price of Copper

Front page on the LA Times today, an article about Morenci and how the price of copper effects the town's infrastructure and families. This is a company town, owned by Phelps Dodge and the site of one of the largest, most divisive strikes in American history. And also where my father's family is from. Like I mentioned in my Indian Summer Trip Blog, everyone they knew at one point was affiliated with the mine. There was no way around it. Now the only family I have there is my cousin and I haven't seen him in years. But I like to think that he's getting new roads and painted signs, too.
