THE WEEKEND: Tom Lea Month

Artist Tom Lea was an artist, muralist, author, war correspondent, novelist, and historian.  And he made El Paso his home.  Adair Margo was a longtime friend to Tom Lea, and she is the founder of the Tom Lea Institute, which is celebrating Tom Lea Month in October.  Adair shares her memories of Tom and his 2nd wife Nancy, and tells us about an exhibit at the UTEP Centennial Museum that will showcase the writings of Tom's first wife Nancy, who died at a young age.
