Volume 30: Laying the Foundations

Volume 30 Cover Volume 30 Back Cover of 20 Years of Borderlands Covers

... I often heard builder Robert McKee’s name. When Borderlands began highlighting prominent El Pasoans, I hoped to include him. It’s taken several years, but finally I received the well-researched papers necessary for an article ‒ this year’s center spread. Not only did his company literally “lay the foundations” for much of El Paso and other areas, he and his wife established the Robert E. and Evelyn McKee Foundation to support much of the social and educational structure in Texas and New Mexico. The McKee family still administers the foundation today. 

It has likewise taken years to produce articles on Kate Moore and the McGinty Club and more modern fi gures such as Cleofas Calleros, adamant about recording local history, and David Carrasco, the latter two of whom were recognized nationally and abroad. Students discovered that Moore was responsible for many “fi rsts” in El Paso and Texas, and the McGinty Club provided both mirth and music for the city in the 1890s. ...Take time to enjoy this issue, readers, and don’t forget to look at page 16 (shown above)which features the covers of the first 20 issues that I have had the honor to direct.  read more
