The Harvey Girls

Last night The Commander was beside Sylvie, and Kadizzle sat in his chair watching a very interesting show on Public Television about the Harvey girls.  The Harvey girls were the waitresses that worked in the railroad dining halls of the Sante Fe Railroad.  Kadizzle and The Commander had just been served breakfast by a Harvey girl about two days ago.  At the time Kadizzle had no idea what an important role these women played in the feminist movement.  If you get a chance watch the show.

The best part of the show for the Kadizzles was how much was done on the La Posada train station in Winslow.  Discovering the history of the place and the history of the woman who designed it was fun.  Mary Jane Coulter was the architect.  She always invented a story before she designed a building.  Her story for La Posada was about a Spanish Nobleman's house.  Coulter did an amazing job, and if money were no problem Kadizzle would have a house just like it.  The place has such a warm feeling, and fits so well in the southwest.
