Employee Announcements
In Memoriam: Kathy McRee, former photography instructor
In the Aug. issue the New Mexico Archaeology newsletter there was a column dedicated to Kathy McRee, (1939-2019), who died in May. The story quoted two individuals who cited her work as an SFCC photography instructor.
Tim Maxwell, OAS Director Emeritus said, “So very sad. Kathy was a strong FOA (Friends of Archaelogy) supporter since its beginnings. I remember her as one of the “cowgirls” riding in the huge Dodge ram pickup on our first visit to Pauquime in 1995. She was teaching photography at SFCC at the time and gave me several helpful suggestions. Kathy always made herself available for helping the FOA.”
Joyce Bolack said, “As an expert photographer, and former teacher of photography at Santa Fe Community College, she made professional images of FOA’s artifacts for archaeological reports.”
We extend our sympathy to her family, friends and colleagues.
