Relative in California

Rufus Stinnett, my Granddad Woodburn's step-brother, lived in Artesia and raised his family there. You might remember the Stinnett Cabin near Mayhill. He built that cabin with his son, Arba. Arba has run an architecture firm in California since the mid-1980s.
I remember Rufus as a friendly, cheerful fellow.
He attended the First Presbyterian Church in Artesia. That church was used in the movie, "The Man Who Fell to Earth," starring David Bowie. If you ever see the movie or visit the church, the choir loft is iconic.
