Son Ralph Oliver Shasteen Biographical Notes Ralph and Dorris never had children. Ralph was a heavy equipment operator for Santa Fe and he and Dorris lived much of their life in a converted box car and later a converted passenger car. The railroad would hook them up with their equipment and take them to where ever they wanted Ralph to use his bulldozer to do construction. They lived in Albuquerque for awhile, then hit the road, the lived in Rincon and Hatch NM in their passenger car and retired to an apartment in Albuquerque.Ralph developed Altzheimer's disease about 10 years before his death and Dorris was forced to put him in a home near Albuquerque to be taken care of. She visited him religiously until his death and some days were ok and some days were bad. Dorris was always active in the Eastern Star and as an accomplished pianist and organist, was always playing for one affair or another. She and Ralph were favorites of Raymond D. Shasteen and one of his fondest memories of them is his visit to stay with them in their passenger car in Rincon for a week or so one summer when he was about ten. |
