• Lunch with a Strong Woman

    So, I visited Carol Pool at her Silver City home. She is a woman I met last year when she was tending bar at the Union Saloon. It was not simply for pleasure, though talking with her has always been a treat. She was attacked the night of Fri., Feb. 17, by a man she…
