Gov. Names Expo Director Judith M. Espinosa, who has been serving as Lt. Gov. Diane Denish's chief of staff, is the new director of Expo New Mexico. Gov. Bill Richardson announced the appointment Wednesday. Espinosa replaces Fred Peralta, who is retiring. "Expo New Mexico is a jewel for the state drawing thousands of people to Albuquerque each year," Richardson said in a news release. "I believe Judith will bring her extensive public service experience to the task and partner with our commission to make Expo New Mexico even better for our citizens." Expo New Mexico, situated on 236 acres in the heart of Albuquerque, is home to the New Mexico State Fair, the Downs at Albuquerque racetrack and casino and Tingley Coliseum. Espinosa was environment secretary under Gov. Bruce King and transportation secretary under Gov. Toney Anaya. She also has been director of the Alliance for Transportation Research Institute at the University of New Mexico, where she received a bachelor's degree in nursing and a juris doctorate.

AJ DOMME DEPLOYMENT
Hello everyone:
Susie, Lauren, Alexis and Sarah and I spent this past weekend at San Antonio and also at Ft. Hood Texas saying our family goodbyes to our son AJ. Today was his 22nd birthday and his unit was notified today that they would all be leaving by next Tuesday for Iraq. I must confess that saying goodbye for 15 months was a very difficult thing to do but we were absolutely completely impressed with all that we saw and felt there at Ft. Hood. AJ is in the 3rd Armored Calvary Regiment, which is a huge Army group (8,000 plus troops). They specialize in the Army Abrams Tank, Bradley fighting machine and armored Hum V’s, plus rocket launching Bradley type track machines and many other very modern fighting troop carriers and armored equipment. They are first setting up in Kuwait and after about a month will head north to Baghdad and all the way up to the area along the Syrian border and the nasty areas north of Baghdad.
He’s very proud of what he’s doing and has turned into a powerful, spirited, and highly motivated young man. We are super proud of him and what he’s doing.
Susie and I hope you keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
