Reviews

Lenton Malry's 'can-do' attitude is the common denominator in this memoir, which takes us through some important changes in New Mexico's political history. As an educator and public servant, Malry was on the cutting edge of many of these changes. . . . We could sure use some of that old-school dedication to public service today.--Dede Feldman, author of Inside the New Mexico Senate: Boots, Suits, and Citizens
