Bennie Sandoval, 1944
Parishioners are reminded that the community lost Bennie Sandoval on Guadalcanal in 1944. He was one of 60 county residents to die while serving the country during World War II.

Hierarchy, chairs
Was there a reason the chairs increased in complexity from left to right? Or was it a coincidence?

Altar Screen
This was a rare treat – finding the tiny, ancient church in Truchas unlocked. The caretaker let us look around, and she gave us a bit of history of the place. This altar screen, for example, dates from the 1820s.
But the very best thing we learned is that she is the fifth generation of her family to serve as caretakers of the building.

Free Wi-Fi (you get what you pay for)
Well, sure. It sounds good to get free WiFi. But given the general state of disrepair and the chain-link fence around the property and the dead tree laying over in the parking lot, my guess is that it may not be that great a bargain after all.
