Connie Louise
Armstrong Youngblood
OR on Oct.
3, 1954
to Louis
and Becky
(Cochran)
Arm-
strong of
Diamond.
Connie
She was
Youngblood
the oldest
of fi ve
children, growing up and
attending school in rural
Harney County. She was
born eight days after her
lifelong friend Joanie, and
the two little girls spent
many happy summer days,
barefoot and bareback
astride two old geldings,
Patches and Tony, gal-
loping the dusty streets
of Crane. They played
“ranches” in piles of dirt,
built forts in the sagebrush
and rode their bikes on the
highway, suffering the con-
sequences when they paid
no attention to time.
School never appealed
to Connie, and by second
grade, she was labeled and
shelved by an antiquated
system that failed to see
her qualities. But she
ran like the wind, win-
ning races for the school,
and laughed at the drop
of a hat, winning friends
wherever she went. Her
family moved from Crane
to Battle Mt. NV, where
her dad worked at a mine
and Connie got lost in
another, bigger school.
At a very young age, she
married a boy named
David Hogg and moved
with his family to Florida.
The teenage marriage
failed and she came back
to Crane, graduating from
Crane High School with
her friend Joanie in 1972.
