Former Editor, Paula Bain is shown with the large puma sculpture, “Spirit of the Southwest”, she painted for the San Juan Mountain Association a couple of years ago. She is going to devote more time to painting on canvas and sculpting. The puma will be located in the newly designed Children’s Museum in Durango when the remodeling is finished.

The annual SJOC Ski and Sports Swap is scheduled for Saturday, October 20. The Swap is a service the SJOC provides for the community by making low cost sports gear available. It is also a primary fund-raiser for scholarships the Club gives local graduating seniors each year.
