With us was her husband Barney Bruggeman, my aunt (step) Robbie and my mom (step) Wanda. We traveled to Wyoming doing a little old school genealogy along the way. One story I remember about John Kiddy came from a family member we visited with during that summer trip. I recall that he said that John Kiddy was heard to say that he had to get home to his kids as he attempted to get out of the mine. The gentlemen telling the story went on to say that had John stayed with the mule he most likely would've survived the explosion.
