Railroad Photographer Martin Matlack
There was a tradition in Martin Matlack’s family that when each of the four children turned 11, they were bestowed with the gift of their first camera.
Father George Matlack was a self-taught photographer and chemist who developed his own picture slides in the kitchen of the Matlack home in Los Alamos. His children aided the process, watching as colorful imagery emerged out of the makeshift darkroom. Martin’s fascination with the progression of photography took hold there.

Heart Friendly Sweet Potato Shepard’s Pie
By Betty J. Kekse This is a heart friendly twist on the traditional Shepard’s Pie recipe. I have always enjoyed sweet potatoes in savory settings, and this recipe lets them shine and play with others. By adding the orange bell peppers, spinach, and tomatoes, you get a hearty vegetable-filled dish with plenty of sweet and savory flavors. I like to pair this dish with my three-ingredient Kale Caesar Salad. If you roast the sweet potatoes an hour or so ahead of the cook time, they are cool and...
