It was a complete honor for me to be Student
Editor of Borderlands. I’d first like to thank Ms. Vise for choosing me for this
job and also for teaching me in her classroom. Working on the many papers has
taught me much about writing. It has also been an intellectual endeavor as I
have learned more about El Paso’s history through the hard work of the students
at EPCC, and for that I’d like to thank them as well. I thank my husband and son
for putting up with the many hours I’ve spent glued to the computer or away from
home working on this publication. This was an experience I’ll never forget and
always appreciate.

What a joy it has been to learn more about the fascinating
history of El Paso, Texas. I have learned about every
day people wanting to make life better for them and
their children and in the process helping to create a
town fit for family and business. Thanks to Ms. Vise,
English professor at Northwest Campus, for the research
assignment to learn about the history of El Paso. I
appreciate her confidence in me to assist in the job of
putting together this feature magazine. I would like to
thank the wonderful librarians at the Downtown Public
Library in the Southwest Collection. Barbara Rees,
Curator of the El Paso Historical Society, helped me
immensely in obtaining photos for these articles This
has been a great experience.
