Some of our past speakers are shown below:
At
our January 2007 meeting, Norma Libman (right photo) gave us insight into
the lives of Pioneer Women from their diaries she had researched.
In February 2007, Mary Ellen Gonzales (left photo) told some wonderful stories, mostly from Spain, that had been handed down from generation to generation.
In June 2007, our meeting was enlivened by the Placitas Mountain Band, led by Gary Libman with members comprised of Mary and Roger Schenso, Joe Ferraro, Doug Chaplan and Jerry Grayson. A variety of instruments were played, including double bass, auto harp, recorder, guitar and various banjos. Many of the songs were "old Tyme" favorites and the audience was allowed to join in and sing along.
