On a sunny, breezy June Saturday afternoon, many friends of Linda Gray, who recently and unexpectedly passed from this life, gathered in the courtyard of the Silver City Museum to honor and praise Linda and her volunteer work with several non-profit organizations in Silver City.
Silver City Museum Director Bart Roselli said he had worked with her for the past five years. "I knew her as a volunteer. She had a great sense of humor, sarcastic and sardonic. I had a lot of fun chatting with her. She did a little bit of everything, except windows."

Activities were in full swing at Gough Park on a sunny Saturday morning, June 1, 2024, as part of the Gila Wilderness Centennial festivities. Crowds of people went from booth to booth, visited vendors, and listened to speakers at the park.
The highlight of the day was a cross-cut saw competition to see which teams could cut a disk of wood off a long log in the fastest time. The narrator noted that the process is the best option for cleaning trails in the national forests. He said it is a historical process, but continues to be used in the Gila National Forest today. The teams came from Grant County, Catron County and Albuquerque. [Editor's Note: This photographer could not stay for the final competition to see which team would take home the honors, due to a prior commitment. When she left, the Albuquerque team of a man and woman had the lowest time at 21 seconds. Quarter-, semi- and finals chose the winner. ]
