Letter to the Editor: Name Municipal Building ‘Citizens’ Municipal Building’
By Diana StepanIn my opinion, the new Municipal Building should be named the “Citizens’ Municipal Building,” since the citizens paid for it and the citizens are the ones who are supposed to be served by the employees who work at the Municipal Building.
If that is not acceptable, please simply name it the “Los Alamos Municipal Building.”
There is no one I can think of that deserves the honor except for the citizens of Los Alamos County. Read More

PETER RUSSELL FORMAN Aug. 26, 1934–Dec. 30, 2012

As a teenager he worked chilly winter nights for his father and others in lemon groves smudging to prevent frost damage, and summers he loaded crates of lemons at the packing house, thus learning that he never again wanted to be a farmer!
