April Skies
By Jon Spargo
New Mexico Tech Astronomy Club
Venus will continue to dazzle us with its brilliance in the early evening sky. A special treat happens this year on the night of April 2nd when Venus will skim through the left side of the Pleiades star cluster about an hour after sunset. This will be fun to watch through binoculars or a small telescope.

Oral History: H.B. Birmingham’s life as rancher and sheep man in Catron County
2012 marks the 150th anniversary of the Homestead Act of 1862, and the Socorro Bureau of Land Management’s Cultural Resource Program is increasing emphasis on oral history collection, particularly as it relates to homesteading.
Over the last two years, the Mountain Mail has printed oral history interviews with Dave Farr and Evelyn Fite.
H. B. Birmingham was interviewed by BLM archaeologist Brenda Wilkinson in Reserve on March 17, 2010, at the home of his friend and neighbor, Judy Griffin. At 96 years old, he has witnessed much of the history of Catron County since his birth in 1915 in Reserve.
Birmingham raised both sheep and cattle, used the Magdalena Trail (Stock Driveway) and has extensive knowledge of his family history and the history of Reserve. H. B. is a stickler for accuracy, so these excerpts from the interview are in his own words.
Brenda Wilkinson’s questions are italicized.
We were very saddened to hear of his wife, Peggy, passing in November, 2011. Peggy and H.B. were married for 61 years.
Let the March winds blow! I’m in the kitchen.
By Nancy Newberry
As I write this today, it is sunny, but the wind is fierce, and not particularly warm. March is a bit of a dud in the food event universe. Mardi Gras is past, and this issue will arrive a little late to help you plan an Oscar party, unless you’re only making popcorn, which I think you can handle on your own. You can all feel free to dye your food (and your beer) green on the 17th of March, of course. For my taste winter is lingering a bit long, but this gives me a chance to share three recipes I really love with you. I hope that these recipes will get you through winter’s last blast.
