[Lwvcnmtopics] LWVCNM Monthly Meeting noon Tomorrow with Fred Nathan, Jr.

[George Richmond]

Some background on Mr. Nathan:

A)  He is a graduate of Williams College where he was invited to join 
Phi Beta Kappa; an invitation which he accepted.

B) While working at the Office of the NM Attorney General, he was 
responsible for working with the NM Legislature.  This experience 
suggests that Mr. Nathan learned much about the process of our 
legislature and the NM government which encouraged him to form "Think 
New Mexico."
