THE PAST 100 YEARS

From The Santa Fe New Mexican:

June 13, 1918: Famous Old Flags Will Be Displayed on Flag Day Here. Rough Riders’ Standard From Cuba and Venerable G.A.R. Colors to Be Carried in Procession: Santa Fe to Honor Star Spangled Banner in Rousing Fashion Tomorrow.

June 13, 1968: The president of the firm that processed New Mexico’s drivers licenses until early this year described the Motor Vehicle Department Wednesday as one of the worst run in the country.

June 13, 1993: So far, Catellus Development Corp. has been the big engine that couldn’t.

After about three years of trying to push its Santa Fe projects off the drawing board, the real estate corporation still seems to lack the political traction to do so.

In the meantime, its 37 acres of local rail yard property remain in limbo.
