LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Looking for my Navajo grandfather My name is David Montelongo. I am looking for my Navajo grandfather. Im 17 years old, and Ive been told that I have Navajo family. My mother was adopted as a baby, and I was adopted as a teenager. I want to find my family. My grandmother was named Donna Preston. She lived in Rexford, Kan., a small town in the northwest corner of Kansas. In October of 1968, my grandmother was 16 years old. She got pregnant by a man on the Navajo railroad crew who was staying in Rexford. This man (or boy) worked for the Rock Island Railroad. The Navajo track crew laid 15 miles of new rails near Rexford and Colby, Kan., during 1968 and 1969. My grandmother died in 1981. She would be 61 years old if she were still living. My grandfather is probably in his 60s by now. If you were on the Rock Island Railroad track crew in 1968, or you know someone who was on the crew, please contact me. Please help me find my Navajo grandfather. You can email me at davidmontelongo@gmail, call me at 620-747-0290, or write me at 423 W. 9th, Newton, KS 67114. David Montelongo Newton, Kan.
