T
he nighttime tem-
peratures
have
finally dipped into
the 50s, however briefly,
and that means fall is
about to make its entrance.
Ahh – the evenings beg for
a fire and the days for a
hike.
Cenizo remains for sale,
although we’ve shifted
some of the day-to-day from me to others, and
getting out from under some of the workload is
great. There’s a lot to running this little maga-
zine – but don’t be shy – if you live in and know
the Trans-Pecos and want to take the publica-
tion forward, get in touch!
We’ve added a simple map to our editor’s
page for those who travel without a map and
wonder where they are.
Our first piece of fiction runs in this issue.
Many know Bridget Weiss for her wonderful
cooking at the late lamented Marfa Table. She
brings her artful skills from the kitchen to the
page with “Beneath my Skin,” giving Annie
Proulx a run for her money.
If you think our current medical technology
has hit a peak, read Donna Smith’s story of
medicine at Fort Davis a mere 125 years ago.
Yikes! Now imagine 2137 – what will they think
of us then?
That handsome adobe mansion in Marathon
was built by the town’s founder, Capt. Albion
Shepard. Get the details from Danielle Gallo’s
story.
Dana Jones is back, this time with the cover
shot and the photo essay. Check out his fine pho-
tography.
Jim Glendinning introduces us to three more
Voices of the Big Bend, R.T. Castleberry returns
with poetry, and new Cenizo poet Carolyn
Adams brings her many years of poetry to our
pages.
Come on – you know you’ve always secretly
wanted to be a bird and fly over this wonderful
country. You can almost be a bird in a glider.
Barbara Novovitch explores soaring in the Big
Bend skies over our mountains and grasslands.
Lonn Taylor recounts early wax-producing
efforts down south through the life of Bill
Dodson, and Colin Shakelford brings us the lat-
est news on efforts to restore our grasslands to
native grass species, giving a food source and
habitat to our native mammals, birds and insects
while holding the soil in place.
Although we haven’t seen as many as we
might in recent years, Jim Sage sings the praises
of his favorite grasshopper – the horse lubber,
and Charlie Angell tests our Mexican
Revolution knowledge with a quiz on the Texas
side of that conflict.
May your autumn bring a couple more good
rains and your holiday season be one of peace
and hope. Please shop with our advertisers, and
