Anne Sullivan
Anne Sullivan says her lifetime as a New Yorker and a stage manager for Broadway and touring musicals did little to prepare her for life in New Mexico. After moving to a small adobe in Lemitar in 1970, learning to drive, driving off a mountain, setting her house on fire, being flooded out three times, she moved to a log house in Datil in 1987 where, with one dog, three cats, one horse, two word processors and an answering machine, she remains relatively disaster-free.
Anne Sullivan may be reached at P.O. Box 132, Datil, New Mexico, 87821. Her phone number is 505-772-5509.

Stephen Reynolds
Author Stephen Reynolds says, "I grew up in New Mexico and spent the better part of my first thirty years wandering around the state searching all the nooks and crannies like an errant coyote - ten years of that nomadic existence being paid for by the Game and Fish Department. How can you beat it? Then I was lucky enough to get the same kind of job in Alaska, and spent another twenty years or so wandering around in that part of the country. So, I guess you could say I have an intimate knowledge of the back-areas of both states."
