Monday's Lunch Program

June 26: Railroading in New Mexico Railroads were the key that unlocked the Land of Enchantment to the rest of the country in the late 19th century. This presentation will describe the history of railroads in New Mexico and take the audience on a train trip across the state in 1943.  We will also discuss the restoration of a 1940s-era New Mexico railroad icon, the Santa Fe steam locomotive 2926, that is being restored to operational status by a group of volunteers here in the Duke City.

John Taylor John M. Taylor has a master’s degree in Nuclear Engineering from Stanford University and was a member of Sandia's Technical and Management Staff from 1975 to 2010. During that tenure, he published over 50 technical reports and papers and was a technical advisor on the publication of the Sandia History manuscript. Prior to coming to Sandia he was assigned as Reactor Controls Officer on the USS Nautilus (SSN571). He is the author or co-author of 24 books on a variety of subjects including Catholicism in central New Mexico, the Civil War in New Mexico, New Mexico’s naval connections, stories from Valencia County, New Mexico’s Medal of Honor awardees, and the science of soccer. Eight of these books have won New Mexico-Arizona and/or Historical Society of New Mexico book awards. In addition, he has published numerous articles in various books and journals on Civil War, Catholic history, and soccer topics. He is married to Lynn and has four daughters and three granddaughters.

ATTENTION all Bicyclists and those who want to serve Let’s Support Our Nepal Project RCA has pledged $5000 toward the Nepal Girls’ Menstrual Health Project sponsored by Del Sol. It was recently approved by RI. Del Sol and an allied non-profit, Women To Be, are hosting a Bike Ride on July 15th to raise extra funds. They need riders! If you ride, please register. If you don’t ride, who do you know who does? Maybe you’d like to sponsor that person for $50. If every Club member would find just one rider, we’d reach the goal number. Show your support for an important Global Grant we have endorsed. Tina Garcia RCA Board Director, International Services Division
