| Description: |
I was born August 14, 1938, at Farmington, New Mexico. I'm a great-grandson of Seth Tanner, one of the earliest, if not the earliest of at least the Mormon pioneers, as they came into the Indian country. Seth was quite a pioneer, and what a jewel to have in your family history. I've spent a lifetime just chasing Anglo stories and Indian stories about him. And then my grandfather was Joseph Baldwin Tanner. My mother and dad are Rulel Lehi Tanner and Stella McGee Tanner. They had eight children, and I'm child number five in the play of things. (chuckles) I was primarily raised at Kirtland, New Mexico, and Durango, Colorado.
