In fact, talking to him over ice tea in his home in Los Chavez is a lot like talking to someone who’s discovered exactly what they should be doing in life — which is pretty much the situation he is in. Sanchez and his wife Theresa’s company, Sanchez Angus Cattle and Farm, recently had one of its Angus bulls, named PS Emblazon 1478, was the top-selling Angus bull out of 80 at New Mexico State University’s Tucumcari Bull Test. “The average score is 100 and our bull had a 120 to win it, so our bull is better than the average by 20 percent prob- ably,” Sanchez says. “There were only 10 bulls over 110, so it was like running the Kentucky Derby and winning by a Kenn Rodriguez-News-Bulletin photo nose.

Can you tell us something about Reserve? It's just a Spanish settlement, and they got their mail just once a month. It came from Alma when they did get it about once a month - 35 miles south of Reserve. Is that town still around? It's practically a ghost town. On the main highway between? --Reserve and Silver City. My father came in 1882 with the John B. Slaughter trail herd and he stayed there the rest of his life. His age at the time was nineteen - he was nineteen years old. He spent his lifetime there- he went first into the mercantile business and then he went into the livestock business. The business he spent his life in. Did he start with a store or did he - I thought you said he came from Texas. My grandfather, that's my mother's father, organized this store. They organized it in eighteen and eighty seven. And then in eighteen and eighty eight my father did the framing then that was the winter of the big blizzard over the whole country - 1888. The blizzard of '88 they called it, and he waited (waded?) for 120 days from Magdalena to the Patterson place. Where is the Patterson place? The Patterson Lake? Well it's about ten miles below Horse Springs on the road going to Beaverhead or maybe Mogollon. Is it more of a path? Oh, it was just a path, but he was able to rent a house there to store his groceries in until the wagons would pick it up and take it to my grandfather's store in Frisco.

  • Elfego Baca and the "Frisco Shootout"
    Elfego Baca and the "Frisco Shootout" Elfego Baca was a gunman, lawman, lawyer, and politician in the closing days of the Wild West. His goal in life was to be a peace officer, He wanted, he said, "The outlaws to hear my steps a block away". Southwest New Mexico at the time was still relatively a sparsely settled cattle ranching country. In 1884, at age 19, Baca stole some guns, bought a mail-order sheriff's badge, and more or less appointed himself deputy sheriff in Socorro County, New Mexico. Cowboys roamed the land and did as they pleased. They might come into a town, drink at the saloon, harass the locals, and then shoot up the town out of boredom. Baca meant to put an end to that. In October, 1884, in the town of Lower San Francisco Plaza, Elfego Baca arrested a drunken cowboy named Charlie McCarty. Baca flashed his badge at McCarty after deputizing himself as a peace officer, and took McCarty's gun. After Bill Milligan, the owner of the bar, refused to press charges, Baca took McCarty hostage. McCarty's fellow cowboys attempted a peaceful negotiation of his release, but Baca refused and opened fire on the negotiator. After deputies and justices of the peace were brought in from surrounding towns, Baca was forced to bring McCarty back to the Justice of the Peace for a trial and, in turn, was provided with assurances of Baca's safety. Justice of the Peace Ted White granted McCarty's freedom. After the verdict, Elfego Baca ran out of the courtroom still in possession of McCarty's gun.

    NEWSLETTER FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS, DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE HISTORY NEWSLETTER Issue No. XXXVIII, 2009 –2010 History: The Musical Let‘s face it. However distinguished we might be, our monster-trucks-and-malt-liquor Department sometimes lacks a certain tone. Watch us howl over ―The Three Stooges‖; listen to us launch into off-color sea shanties or plow through sev- enteen choruses of ―All the Young Dudes,‖ and you‘d no doubt agree. We were fortunate, indeed, then, to shanghai a pair of world-class scholars away from the Music Department—and just in the nick of time. Both faced conscription into the Razorback Marching Band. Professors Rembrandt Wolpert and Elizabeth Markham are the Nick and Nora Charles of East Asian historical musicol- ogy—well-traveled, of wide reputation in their field, and fun at parties, too. They greatly enhance our offerings in Asian history and further the globalization of our medieval studies curriculum. Both hold PhDs from Cambridge University, with Wolpert also carrying an M.A. from Universität München and an M.Sc. in computer science from the University of Otago (in Markham‘s native New Zealand). Before arriving at the U of A, Wolpert held appointments in Sinology at Cambridge and the University of Würzburg and in social anthropology at Queen‘s University of Belfast. Markham has held research positions at the same institutions. Markham describes her research interests as music, musical thinking, and culture in East Asia, particularly in the courts and temple arts of medieval Japan. She studies the relationship between words and music and between the oral and written in Japanese poetry, chant, and song.

    WASHBURN VOLUME 50, ISSUE 2 Lawyer SPRING 2013 108th Commencement Ronnie Rhodes: On the Outside LARW Program Ranked 11th by U.S. News Cover Story | Oil and Gas Law Center Launched WASHBURN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW ALUMNI MAGAZINE DEAN Thomas J. Romig hen Washburn Law developed its Woil and gas curriculum nearly a quarter of a century ago, David Pierce, ’77, Norman R. Pozez Endowed Chair in Business and Transactional Law, fostered a fi rst-rate program that remains at the top of its class today. Although much broader in scope and size than its 1989 archetype, the program has never lost its focus to serve the needs of the oil and gas industry as well as the academic needs of our students who choose to pursue that area of law. We are proud to have established a program that off ers a complete curriculum, including essential practical experience, to ensure our graduates can address, not just popular trends, but the modern-day issues that comprise all of oil and gas law. With that in mind, we’ve taken the next logical step by establishing the Oil and Gas Law Center at Washburn University School of Law with Professor Pierce as the Center director. By creating the Center, Washburn Law formally establishes itself as a national leader in oil and gas law, and as such, will expand and deepen its oil and gas- related academic initiatives and scholarship. Th e Center will also help distinguish us from the few other law schools that have a multi-course oil and gas curriculum.

Lots of my friends and family know me as ‘Vago’ which is short for Vagabond. The nickname comes from a book I wrote in 2003 called Rough Living: Tips and Tales of a Vagabond. My life has been inspired by the great travelers, writers, and wanderers of the planet. My grandmother had a full collection of National Geographic Magazines from 1913 until she passed away. As a child, I used to spend hours reading them and looking at the pictures (not just the naked ones) while my siblings and cousins rode motorcycles, snow skied, and did other normal kid things. When I was nine-years-old, I took all the money I’d earned doing chores and went to my favorite store in our little town of Big Bear Lake, California. Village Books. I wanted to buy many books, but I settled on just one and it had a profound effect on my life. It was The Kids’ Book of Games for Cars, Trains, & Planes by Rudi McToots and Dreadnaught.
