We added the Terlingua Education section to feature a recuerdo by Juan-Paz Peña about his mother, Celestina Rodríguez Peña, an early teacher in the border area. This may be of special interest to the PCDL Reunion attendees.
 Even those of us who will not get to attend the Pena, Cano, Duran, Lugo reunion are getting excited with the announcement of the reunion logo (shown above). I We have revised the existing pages on this event so that they all show the logo and have links to each other at the bottom of each page. We hope to add pages during and after the reunion with news and views of the festivities. This newer format may make it easier to go to the specific page you want to see. Go to the Events page and check it out.
