PROUD HISTORY

  BRIDGES STILL ARE BEING BUILT.  IT IS FASCINATING TO WATCH THE BRIDGE BEING BUILT UP THE SWIFT RIVER ROAD.  THERE IS A NEW HIGH SCHOOL BEING BUILT AND A NEW POLICE RADIO TOWER LOOMS HIGH OVER THE TOWN.  NEW HOMES GO UP EVERY YEAR, BUILDING HIGHER AND HIGHER INTO THE HILLS, GETTING AWAY FROM THE THREATS OF HIGH WATER, STILL HEEDING THE WISE ADVICE OF OUR OLD INDIAN FRIEND, METTALAK.

RESIDENTS OF MEXICO HAVE MUCH TO BE PROUD OF AND THEY ARE PROUD OF THE UPRIGHT, INDEPENDENT HARDWORKING PEOPLE WHO BEGAN THEIR TOWN, AND HAVE LEFT THEM A HERITAGE TO LIVE UP TO THROUGH THE GENERATIONS.
NICE TO THINK OF THESE PEOPLE ON THE 150TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.  THEY BUILT TOWNS AND BUILDINGS TO "LAST", NOT FOR THEIR GENERATION, BUT TO ENDURE THROUGH THE YEARS.
