Five local Democrats chipped in to buy this billboard space on N. Main Street in Roswell. Pictured, left to right, are Oscar Gonzalez (magistrate judge), Eloy Ortega (county commissioner), Ellen, County Commissioner Michael Trujillo (state representative, HD 58), and Fred Moran (county assessor), who designed the piece and took most of the photos.

Ellen at NARFE forum. The first candidate forum of the general election, sponsored by the National Active and Retired Federal Employees, was held on August 19, at the Wok Inn in Alamogordo. Ellen’s opponent did not attend. (Photo by JR Oppenheim, Alamogordo Daily News.)

“Barbara Fritchie was a famous Frederick resident. Her spunk inspired the Civil War poem by John Greenleaf Whittier that all Frederick schoolchildren memorized. Many Americans know a few of the lines:
“ ... ‘Shoot, if you must, this old gray head, But spare your country’s flag!’ she said.
A shade of sadness, a blush of shame, Over the face of the leader came....
‘Who touches a hair of yon gray head Dies like a dog! March on!’ he said....”
(The leader was Stonewall Jackson. When Winston Churchill visited Frederick in 1943, he stopped at Barbara Fritchie’s house and recited the entire poem from memory.)

Francis Scott Key, the author of our national anthem, is buried in Frederick.

Ellen grew up in historic Frederick, Maryland, and reconnected with her roots at her 50th annual high school class reunion on August 7, 2010.

In case you couldn’t spot Ellen in the larger photo, here is a closeup.

Scenic New Mexico—a visitor from out of state gave Ellen an excuse to view the Very Large Array 60 miles west of Socorro. A beautiful drive and an impressive sight.
