Ty's Take
Carol Ann Knapp Foreman's obituary ran in yesterday's paper, and by now half the valley's heard she's gone—the kind of woman who showed up, who remembered names, who didn't need to make a show of it. In a place that's changing as fast as Las Cruces is changing, those steady presences matter more than we say at the time. Meanwhile, two sisters are out here making prints, building something from scratch, the kind of small creative work that used to be how towns held onto themselves. It's not much of a news cycle, but it's the real one: we lose people we needed, and younger folks keep trying to build. That's how it goes.
