and volunteers in Big Bend National Park. Ron
Payne, park volunteer, shares his experience gath-
ering oral histories.
An exciting trip into the land of the
Tarahumara in Central Mexico is an experience
many who live in the Big Bend have shared. But
perhaps not quite like the Santa Semana that
Charles Angell lived through on a recent adventure.
It is said that every plant out here either sticks,
pokes or stabs you as you encounter it. If that’s so,
you should know what you’re up against in the
pastures and mountains of the Chihuahuan
Desert. Jean Nance will introduce you!
Marfa seems to be endlessly creative and
nowhere more so than in its Chamber of
Commerce e-newsletter. What, you say? Yes – it’s
a place to find the most expressive and evocative
images of Marfa things, large and small. Enjoy
the photo essay with images by Martha Hughes
and Bonita Barlow and a narrative by Jack
Copeland.
Poets Nelson Sager, Clarence Wolfshohl and
Larry Thomas give pause, enthrall and ponder in
this issue.
And to test your knowledge of area ranches,
past and present, Charlie Angell offers Trans
Pecos Trivia.
Two staff changes to report and people to
thank – Drew Stuart and Martha Latta have been
copy editor and business manager of Cenizo from
the beginning – four years and counting of great
work from both of them. Thank you! And hello
to Danielle Gallo and Lou Pauls in those jobs.
Looking forward to the future with your talents.
Welcome!
See you in the spring!

ikes – Where did
2012 go? And now
we have to learn
how to write 2013 – it usual-
ly takes me well into
February! Here’s a wish for
you to have your best, most
healthy and loving year ever.
We start off this issue
with Phyllis Dunham’s love
of Wild Rose Pass. You
may feel the same way about this beautiful spot in
the Davis Mountains. Read on!
New folks come into the Trans-Pecos, but there
are some treasures who are here now and were
here then. One such is Marfa’s Brit Webb. You’ll
love his story by Barbara Novovitch.
You may know C. M. Mayo for her 24 podcast
series on the Big Bend. In this issue she’s down
along the river exploring that most basic and
ancient building material – adobe.
Jim Glendinning returns with three very dis-
tinct Big Bend voices who bring incredibly diverse
backgrounds to their love of public radio as show
hosts on KRTS Marfa Public Radio.
Did you know that Front Street in Fort Davis
was once part of the important and much-used
San Antonio-El Paso road? Bob Miles takes us on
a tour of the road then and now.
We may lack water and lush vegetation, but one
thing the Trans-Pecos has is rocks! Danielle Gallo
explores our mineral riches in her story on mining.
Who? The Great Horned Owl is the subject of
Jim Sage’s observations.
Working to make all the voices of our history
heard is the oral history project conducted by staff
