WWII Navajo Code Talker Coming Soon........
This last spring when my wife Jody and I were on vacation in the Southwest doing the canyons. We met a WWII Code Talker Teddy Draper Sr. in a little place call Chinle, Arizona the hub of the Navajo nation. We were having breakfast at the local restaurant and noticed that they had a conference room called the code talker room. We asked our server about it and she said the famous code talker that won Iwo Jima for us back in WWII was sitting at the table next to you, would you like to talk with him? We moved over to his table and started talking and listening. This 83 year old gentleman was so cool, it was like talking to a real live history book. I invited him to Oregon and asked if he would speak at our CoffeeHouse and Roasting Factory at Longbottom Coffee and Tea. He said he would love to. So we exchanged info. Teddy is arriving here on the 14th of January and plans to speak to the public on the 15th, 16th, and 17th of January. Stay tuned for more info....... We are pumped!
