This is a book signing event that will bring you up close and personal to fascinating stories of families and events that were part of the flavor of Albuquerque in an earlier time. Among other stories you will hear about the Lovelace family that shaped early Albuquerque health care; The Ong family who were early businesspersons in Barelas; and the group of local Italians that interrupted gangsters at our train station who were setting their sights on coming to Albuquerque. 
 
Rosemary McNerney Winkler, will present excerpts from her book, Stories of Early Albuquerque: As Told in the Albuquerque Genealogical Society Quarterly. The book shares the history of some of the post-1848 families who helped usher the city into the modern age. Rosemary McNerney Winkler is a member of the Albuquerque Genealogical Society and has been writing about these families for the group’s publication, the Quarterly, since 2013.

Rosemary McNerney Winkler grew up in Albuquerque, graduated from St. Pius X High School, attended UNM and worked for the City of Albuquerque. She married William Winkler and was a stay-at-home mom until finding a cause in neighborhood and education issues in the 1970s and became an “urban guerrilla” working with other neighborhoods, the City Planning Commission, and the Board of Education to improve the neighborhood and elementary school. She served on the Albuquerque Youth Symphony, PTA, neighborhood association, Citizens’ Advisory boards, and the APS Vocational Education Advisory Committee. After that, Rosemary attended CNM receiving an associate degree in accounting. She was self-employed for over 30 years until retirement.

The presentation and book signing will be great fun.
