Kennedy Visits
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited the San Luis Valley on Cinco de Mayo, to speak at a fund-raiser for Alamosa Riverkeepers. The conservation group was recently accepted into the national Riverkeepers organization. That, and the appearance by Kennedy, means a lot of attention for the group and its mission, to clean up the Alamosa River. The river has been officially dead since ’93, a result of toxic runoff from the Summitville Mine site.
