Slovaks even in Tombstone!

As we travel around you never know who you will run into. Here we are in Tombstone, AZ and the guy selling tickets for the stage coach ride is Slovak. His family name is Yakoss and his grand father was born in Kosice, Slovakia. His grandmother was from Moravia in the Czech Republic. We chatted for a while and he had all of his facts correct about Slovak history and genealogy. I enjoyed my conversation with him. He had some free time while the stage coach made its tour and he was waiting to sell tickets for the next tour. He even knew a few Slovak phrases.
