95th Birthday Celebrate Longtime Chloride Native Schmidt
Raymond Schmidt, who spent most of his life in Chloride New Mexico, celebrated his 95th birthday in Brownfield Texas after moving there last September. He lived in the mountain village for decades, cared for local cemeteries, and built five telescopes for a school observatory while working with the Gila National Forest. His daughter Edith Wheeler notes Brownfield feels like a foreign land to him but he enjoys the West Texas flat vistas and warm climate.
