[Geysers] Requests for Information

I'll have a Daisy Marie tale in a day or so ... presuming I don't forget to 
 do it. 
 
Here I'll add that Jamie (and Sam Martinez) also worked one (I think only  
one) winter season at Stove Pipe Wells, in Death Valley. Those were the days 
 when the Ham's Stores and Stove Pipe were both owned by the Povahs.

Jamie Espy was a very  kind soul, whose favorite expression of surprise 
was, ‘Well, I declare,” in  the thickest, most syrupy southern accent you can 
imagine.  He was  occasionally difficult to understand; once in 1976 or 77 
he was with me and my  brother Pete at Daisy and we saw a large geyser erupt 
in the distance behind  the Inn.  “What’s that?” asked  Pete. 
Wha, tha’s Rahouuuw,”  said Jamie. 
“What?” 
Jamie repeated  it.  “Rahouuuw.” 
“Could you spell  that?” 
Jamie smiled.   “Wha, tha’s AWW OHHH Youuuu ENNNN  Deeee.   Rahouuuuw.” 

“Oh,” said Pete.  “Rahouuuuw.” 
“Tha’s rahhht,” said  Jamie. 
He worked at the  Ham’s store in 78 or 79, but passed away not much later 
than  that.
