Born the elder daughter in Columbus Oh on 5-4-53 to Nila Norris Clough and Gail Clough,sister, Gail Ann(1954) Clough brother, Wayne(1956).

Friends with whom I spent time in Socorro were Mary Lee Spears, Selfa Naranjo who married Willie Lucero, Lynn Kroggel, Dave Roady, and Flavio Herrera, and Gary Fullingim.

We spent family time at Escondida with Slim and Dottie Fullingim, son Gary, my bro Wayne's friend; the Montes family whom we first met in Socorro NM; and the Joe Davila's from San Antonio, NM, sons, Jobe and Michael. The year I was a soph in 1968 Dad took a Math teaching job in Coahoma TX and the Davila's helped us move back to TX.
