Buchanan -- Elizabeth Buchanan I was born on June 23, 1927 in Monte Vista, Colorado, to Mr. and Mrs. Herman Goehl. The Rio Grande overflowed its banks that day. I grew up on a farm in Center, Colorado with my brother, Joseph and sister, Margaret. I attended Sargent School, St. Scholastica Academy in Canon City, CO; Rosary College in Chicago, IL; and graduated from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. It was there that I met my soulmate, husband, and father of our children, Clay Buchanan. I taught junior high school in California, as well as in Espanola. I was co-owner of an arts and crafts store in the Pojoaque Valley called"Local Color". For 20 years I worked for the Museum of New Mexico Foundation as the buyer for the museum shops in Santa Fe. I loved to travel and had the opportunity to experience the diverse cultures of the world with family and friends. I was most fulfilled by my life with Clay, raising our children, Whitney and Alexis.
