A page from volume one of the New Mexico Roll of Attorneys at Law shows the 1885 signature of Elfago Baca, the well-known Socorro lawman.
News, April 20: “Hard Copy”
Particularly Moving
I loved the Reporter’s recent article about the New Mexico Roll of Attorneys. It was fascinating to learn about the gaps in the Roll during the last major pandemic and about the history of the signers. It was particularly moving to learn about Mr. Malone, New Mexico’s first Black attorney. Signing the Roll is a grand tradition for New Mexico’s new lawyers and it’s good to learn that the tradition is now revived. Kudos to Jeff Proctor for his reporting on this story.

Radical and Amazing
Well this is a bummer. So many radical, amazing people came through New Mexico because of Lannan.

Love ya
Vegans modeled their own butter (Earth Balance) after butter, just saying. Really enjoy your hate mail quotes and answers from the letters received section.
