Eastern Sandoval Citizens Association (ESCA) Report
By Jean Roberts, ESCA Board of Directors
ESCA is pleased to welcome a new member to our board, Tony Hull. Tony has a long history with Placitas and is well versed in the needs of the community. He has owned property in Placitas since 2005, and he has lived here full time for the past 12 years. Tony was a founding member of ESCA and served several years on the board, helping to address issues such as water use, gravel mining, pipeline risks, and other quality of life concerns for residents of Placitas.
Tony is an Adjunct Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of New Mexico, and he consults extensively on space telescopes in the US and Europe. Not surprisingly, he has expressed an interest in maintaining New Mexico’s dark skies so that we can all enjoy the stars at night. He has also immersed himself in projects related to the history of Placitas, animal rescue, and archeology.
Tony says that he believes that ESCA’s mission is “absolutely essential to our community.” We’re excited that he will join us on the board.
At the same time, the board is sorry to bid farewell to Jim Wiesner as he prepares to move out of state. We wish him well in his next adventures.
