Army buddies meet again Jack Cesar of Absecon recently traveled to New Mexico and Texas, where he got a chance to meet some old Army buddies that he attended Army Flight School with in 1971. They all served as helicopter pilots in Vietnam. The first picture is of Cesar, right, with Dan Farris of Albuquerque, N.M., at Albuquerque's Sandia Peak Tram. The second picture shows Cesar, center, with Sandy Walker, left, and Gil Tijerina, both of El Paso, meeting in front of Carlos and Mickey's, a favorite Mexican Restaurant in central El Paso. Cesar last saw Farris and Tijerina at flight school. Walker and Cesar were roommates briefly in Vietnam, and Cesar last saw his buddy just before Walker was wounded and evacuated out of Vietnam. |

A trip to ‘O'Keeffe country’ Judith Saylor of Linwood is pictured here holding The Current at the entrance to Ghost Ranch on Abiquiqu, N.M. In September, she had a journey through “O’Keeffe country,” the area where artist Georgia O'Keeffe lived and painted. Saylor flew into Albuquerque, rode the Turquoise Trail up to Santa Fe and went on to Abiquiqu, where she stayed at Ghost Ranch. There, she said, one can see the Milky Way every night and enjoy the clear, clean air by day. She passed the time hiking the colorful mountainous terrain, taking photographs and painting. Saylor said she met people who worked for and had fond memories of O'Keeffe, who has been an inspiration for her own artistic endeavors. |
