Dr. Melzer @ the library

Dorothy Payne of Carrizozo and Dr. Richard Melzer


Great first Friday at the library on Sept 2 with UNM History Professor, Dr. Richard Melzer.  Melzer spoke on the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in N.M. 1932 to 1941. He was at the library courtesy of the Historical Society of New Mexico.



Payne shares her memories of playing a softball game with Capitan townees against the girls at Camp Capitan. Payne was the pitcher.

Payne, Melzer and Matt Basham of Ruidoso. Basham works for Four Corners Research in Tularosa. 4 Corners does archeology work to preserve artifacts in the forest and public lands before any digging or prescribed burns, etc.
