Sherri Brueggmann:
I stopped by city hall yesterday to say good bye to Sherri Brueggmann who is retiring after
leading Albuquerque/s arts efforts for many years. My term as a art board member is over, but I
wanted to see the celebration for Sherri. Of course Mayor Keller was there to praise Sherri.
Albuquerque may be the only city to have a mayor with an art history degree.
In Sherri’s on words, “I am retiring from the City of Albuquerque. I am honored and privileged to
have worked for so long in this city I have called home all of my life - even though I grew up just
one county over. I have had the incredible pleasures of working with civic leaders,
neighborhoods, design professionals, local government employees, interns and contractors, arts
organizations, and most importantly creative and resilient artists from near and far.”
Personally, I am proud to live in a community filled with beautiful art.

Melanie Stansbury:
Albuquerque should
be proud of our congresswomen Melanie Stansbury who took to social
media Monday to bring attention to a looming crisis as President Donald
Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency recently imposed a
sweeping overhaul of the Social Security Administration
system.Stansbury posted a video on social media late Monday after she
visited the downtown Albuquerque Social Security office to investigate
the situation and ensure New Mexicans retain their benefits. However,
she reported being denied access to the administrative side of the
building.“We were just denied entry into this office. We had an
appointment and we notified them in advance,” Stansbury said. Stansbury
did talk with some New Mexicans who were in the office Monday waiting
to get their claims filled, including a brother and sister who have
made several trips to the office without having their claims resolved,
a woman without internet access and a young person needing to correct
their date of birth for tax purposes. She described the office
environment as having “a lot of closed windows and a lot of people who
were tired, exasperated and been here a very long time.”

Fern:
I knew that if I
searched my computer enough that I'd find Fern Lacoy Kelly - a good
friend we found on a cruise in 2917, in 2017 Fern had moved from
Albuquerque ti Florida. It's easier to find cruises from Florida. It's
the people you meet on a cruise that are important.

Friends We Have Met:
It's not the many
places you visit on a cruise that is important - more important are the
wonderful new friends you make along the way.
