Last week was the final week of the legislative session. The governor made a speech on Native American Day in the capital rotunda and as I was in position for a standard podium shot of the gov, next thing I know he's pointing in my direction and walking towards me. Turns out the eldest elder of a pueblo was sitting right in front of me. Her name is Gregorita Chavarria. She is a young 102 years old and was glowing as the governor kissed her on the forehead.
