Welcome to my home page. I attended the
graduate School
of Information Resources and Library Science
at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
I am from Bayard, New Mexico which is 10 miles away from Silver City, New
Mexico. Both towns are tiny--you don't wind up there by accident.
I went to college at Eastern
Mennonite University (It was called Eastern Mennonite College, way
back then, though). If you want to know a little more about me, check out my
resume.
I am now working as a Branch Manager
at the Ysleta Branch of the
El Paso Public Library
in El Paso, Texas. I manage a 10,500 sq. ft. facility with eight employees. It is in the Mission Valley, right next to San Elizario and Socorro. I get to practice my Spanish every day. It is a blast!!
Listed below are some of my favorite resources:

Joseph Wu's Origami Page | origami diagrams | Fascinating Folds |

Here are some sites that are about the movie "Salt of the Earth." It was
filmed near my home town, and a number of my family members played parts in it.
My mother had a chance to be an extra, but she was too shy. This movie
commemorates a great event, and the political repercussions that followed its
release have made it historically significant. If you ever get a chance to see
it, do--it is worth your time.
