Newly elected County Councilor Steven Girrens, left, works in the garage of his White Rock home Friday, Nov. 23 with his son Craig Girrens – home on Thanksgiving break from college in Colorado and father Paul Girrens – visiting from Kansas for the Thanksgiving holiday. The three generations engineered and constructed the base structure for the Los Alamos Public Schools float for next month’s Parade of Lights in downtown Los Alamos. Photo by Carol A.
