Less than, a year ago Adamm Smith and Dr. Nora Dietlein, both of Sambel, initiated an all-out war against what they saw as needless torture and abuse to gopher tortoises: in .the annual Edison Pageant of light festivities. This week they won that war, when pageant officials announced that annual gopher tortoise races have been discontinued perman- ently. Pageant president Thomas E.

    THE JEWELRY OF TIJERAS PUEBLO By Lucy C. Schuyler Maxwell Museum Technical Series No. 15 Maxwell Museum of Anthropology MSC01, 1050, 1 University of New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131-0001 www.unm.edu/~maxwell 2010 (Revised 2011) Note added November 2011 In November, 2011, five turquoise pieces that had been on display at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History (Figure A.1) were returned to the Maxwell Museum. These pieces were not available for close examination during my study, so the exact identity of certain artifacts was uncertain (see Page 84). Once the five pieces were returned to the Maxwell Museum, the pendant listed in the report as Catalogue No. 78.67.397 was found to correspond to Catalogue No. 78.67.111, listed as “unavailable for examination.” Likewise, the pendant listed as Catalogue No. 78.67.141B was found to correspond to Catalogue No. 78.67.397. The Tijeras jewelry Excel spreadsheet and master artifact spreadsheet have been updated to reflect the new information. As a result of these revisions, the number of artifacts originally reported is overstated by one. The total collection includes 450 specimens, 390 jewelry artifacts, and 92 pendants.

Then I was handed my first grandchild and realized…the best part of my life had just begun. —T-Shirt Slogan The years between 50 and 70 are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things and yet are not decrepit enough to turn them down. —T. S. Eliot My first grandchild, Jordan, was born on January 30, 2011. I was jolted, blindsided by a wallop of loving more intense than anything I could remember or had ever imagined….This is what I didn’t expect. I was at a time in my life where I’d assumed I had already had my best day, my tallest high. But now I was overwhelmed with euphoria. Why was she hitting with such a force? What explains this joy, this grandmother elation that is a new kind of love? —Lesley Stahl You take all the experience and judgement of men over 50 out of the world and there wouldn’t be enough left to run it. —Henry Ford Don’t cry over the past, it’s gone.
