HENDEN -- DUANE M. Lt. Col. USAF Ret. Interment with full military honors will be held at Ft. Logan National Cemetery [Area A] in Denver CO at 9:00 am on Friday, 5 August 2011. A reception follows at 11:00 am at the Hilton Garden Inn Denver/Highlands Ranch. A group rate for rooms at the Hilton is available through 22 July. Duane died at home on 7 December 2009 with his family by his side, his remains then being cremated. He was born in Tacoma WA on 28 October 1940 to Emma and John Johnson, both from immigrant Norwegian families. Due to a storm, John, age 2 at the time, and his mother missed the first ship on which they had booked passage to America, the Titanic. Twelve years ago, with the blessing of his wife, his surname was changed to Henden, the original name of his paternal grandfather. His family moved to a farm in the Skagit Valley of WA where he started helping to do chores at the age of three. By the time he graduated from Sedro-Wooley High School, he was repairing machinery and helping to run the farm. After graduating from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma with a degree in Physics, he joined the USAF, first becoming a navigator, then a pilot. Among his decorations was the Distinguished Flying Cross. Duane flew missions in Viet Nam as a FAC. In 1983, a year after his marriage to Pat, when stationed at Kirtland AFB, he retired from active duty. Duane then earned an M.B.A. from Anderson School of Management at UNM and went to work in Santa Fe for the NM State Investment Council, where he worked diligently to ensure that the state's permanent funds were managed with integrity and with the best interests of the beneficiaries in mind. He retired as Deputy State Investment Officer very early in the Richardson administration. After briefly working as a consultant, Duane fully retired and then had time to travel to NY where his son, Erik, attended the United States Merchant Marine Academy and was on their rowing team. Erik now follows in his father's footsteps at Laughlin AFB in TX where he is in AF pilot training. Duane was looking forward to visiting his daughter, Britta, a business major who attends his alma mater, when he succumbed to stomach cancer. We miss him more each day.

MORA -- VIRGINIA R. Died peacefully on Thursday, July 21, 2011, her outsized heart and irrepressible spirit finally deciding to rejoin forces-for eternity this time- with her beloved husband of 57 years, the late Dr. Federico Mora. Ginny lived well and loved easily, she was happy spending quiet hours with Mozart, the Sunday Times, Jeopardy, her myriad cats, the occasional Main Lobster, and, in every season, Saturday afternoons getting blonde again. But more than anything, Ginny was about children - any child of any age - for whom she was simultaneously St. Francis, Mother Teresa, Confucius, and, of course, Ninny. To know her, as they say, was to love her. And to be one of her children is a blessing too wonderful for words. Ginny was born July 4, 1930, in Boston, Massachusetts, and spent nursery school through college years in Wellesley, Massachusetts, before her joining her life with Federico's. She had a lifelong love of music and served the Albuquerque music community for many years. She is survived by her sister, Cynthia Krane and husband, Stephen; sisters-in-law, Angela Woodward and Cordelia Mooney and husband, Thomas; children, Fedrico Mora III, Clara Luz Mora and husband, Roger Nixon, Ana Maria Waller and husband, Marty, Claudia Mora and partner, Pete Maggiore, Juan Mora and wife, Lynette; grandchildren, Katharien Baker and husband Brandon, Stephen Pike, Nicholas Mora, Shaina Riciputi, William Cody Nixon, Eliana Riciputi, Joaquin Mora and Rico Antonio Mora; great-grandchildren, Alexander Pike and Ryan Baker; beloved friends, Ralph Berkowitz, Alma Martinez, and Zane Taichert; loving caregivers, Sylvia Cordova and Juanita Bower. A Memorial Service will be held on Monday, July 25, 2011, 4:00 p.m., at Chester T. French Memorial Mausoleum, 924 Menaul Blvd. NE.

He sailed into the Pacific aboard the aircraft carrier the USS Belleau Wood (CVL24) and for the next three years was a participant in major sea battles of the Asian Pacific war, Kwajalein, Truk, Saipan, Guam, Battle of the Philippine Sea (where planes from the Belleau Wood sank the Japanese carrier Haijo), Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

In the summer of 1951 and 1952 his search for work took him to Thule, Greenland where he worked on "Project Bluejay" building a military base. On his return the family moved to the shores of Lake Erie in Ohio. Leo was a member of Plumbers Local #55 of Cleveland, OH for 60 years. In 1979 they moved to NM where he retired.
