Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.

issue of New Mexico Magazine)

It's a warm, blue-sky day in March. The air in Albuquerque's North Valley is lush with spring smells.

Dad, Tony Hillerman, waits in his office, looking comfortable in one of those soft knit shirts he loves. His roll-top desk, where I remember him at a manual typewriter, sits against one wall.

Before that he wrote letters home from World War II, advertising copy for Purina, news stories, magazine articles and whatever else paid enough to support our growing family. He came to New Mexico with United Press International, worked at the Santa Fe New Mexican and then moved to Albuquerque where he revitalized the University of New Mexico's journalism department before leaving to work on his novels full time.
