Roger with Mr. Hympleton, United Sugar Factory, Los Mochis. Like some other
Americans whose companies were nationalized, his family stayed to run the mill for the new owners. He told us of a Dr. Chapman who came down with the Southern Pacific Railroad to open a clinic and had also stayed on after Mexico nationalized the railroad. Perhaps he introduced us. Dr. Chapman said we could spend the night in his clinic, since it was not busy then. We did. We spent the night on hospital beds. Nice Mexican nurses kept sticking their heads in to ask if we needed anything. The doctor had probably told them to take care of the boys. We were too naive to know what they meant. We slept a quiet night.
