To my dear friends, relatives, Danny and Bonnie, and those who have bought my book, may you enjoy and find solace in these stories of another time, having taken place in my beloved Atarque, New Mexico. A time which has passed to the ages, never to return. I hope that my series of short stories, Whispers from the Mesas will bring you memories and fill your hearts with joy. Thank you for listening to the Whispers from the Mesas.
