Acosta, Leonel
January 02, 2000, Albuquerque Journal, Page: 7, Taos -- A 16-year-old Ranchos de Taos boy was killed early Saturday morning in a one-car accident when he apparently lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a tree on Ranchitos Road. Taos Police Officer Lee Totman said the victim, Leonel Acosta, was the brother of 21-year-old Luis Acosta, who is awaiting trial on a charge of murder in the death of 18-year-old Erik Sanchez of Espanola. Sanchez was hurled to his death off the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge on Nov. 23, 1998. Another man, David Sandoval, pleaded guilty in the killing. Totman, who investigated the Saturday accident, said the victim was not wearing a seat belt and was apparently flung into the right rear seat of his car when it bounced off of the tree, spun around and smashed into a second tree. The accident occurred sometime between 3 and 3:30 a.m., police said. A member of the Taos Volunteer Fire Department happened on the scene and called police. The body has been turned over to the Office of the Medical Investigator in Albuquerque for autopsy and to determine if alcohol was a factor in the accident, police said. Totman said it appeared that the teen had been driving too fast and failed to negotiate a turn in the road. The vehicle was traveling east on Ranchitos Road at the time of the crash.

Walter left the construction business due to a back injury. After his divorce from Maggie, and as full time provider of the children he turned his eye to antique dealing and a variety of creative business ventures.

He then had time to further explore his creative talents. His neighbors nicknamed him "10X12" or fondly "Pitbull" because of the unusual house he built and his determined personality. Walter Aigner an incredibly independent mans who never gave up on his quest for adventure, new discoveries and the desire to develop and turn his hand to many skills and crafts. We know he found contentment in Taos and was very much at home here.

After a lifetime of travels we hope he finds peace in his final place of rest. The family would also like to thank friends and neighbors for the support and love they have shown him.

Wendell Anderson, 85, died August 15, in Albuquerque.

He lived awhile in the Henry Miller group at Big Sur, CA. Also an artist, he believed he was a descendent of philosopher, Swedenborg. His poems are about nature, family, the West...and Universe. Some will be in Taos Historical Society's new book. He carried mail in OR, worked for the Forest Service and Social Service in NM, helped clear Taos' first ski run, drove the Harwood Bookmobile to outlying schools, and taught creative writing in New Hampshire. He was known for his drive, stick-to-itness and fierce loyalty to them he cared about, focusing on immediacies and profundities more than "betweens"--happiest when on or facing a mountain. He was an original "beyond words"...unless description of the outfit he chose for his 911 call and 6 blks. ambulance ride, at dawn, to the hospital, widebrim straw, Hawaiian shirt, chinos, mountain shoes and buffalo-nichol bolo tie. No wonder so many people loved him!

Sorrow in Tony's death can be diminished by the joy of his remarkable life; born in Corrales, NM in 1925, he grew up among 11 siblings. As a young child he planted and harvested fruits and vegetables, (often from sunrise to sunset), beginning a work ethic that never left him. In his teens, he worked at the Moore Drydock & Shipbuilding Co. in Oakland, CA as a sheet metal worker, a job that led him to serve with the Merchant Marines in the South Pacific during the first part of WWII. After completing his tour with the Merchant Marines, he returned to the US where he married his lovely wife Lilly, but was subsequently drafted by the US Army where he served out the remaining part of the war in Germany. Returning to New Mexico he worked first as a chauffer, then as roofer, and later as a sheet metal worker for Van Damme Sheet Metal Works on Mountain Rd. From 1952 to 1969 he expanded his metalworking skills with Sandia National Laboratories. In 1969 Tony started his own sheet metal company, A & G Heating. His knowledge was passed to a multitude of individuals that continue to support their families with the trades to this day. In 1996 he co founded Four Winds Mechanical with his sons. In addition to passing along skills in the trades, he also taught countless people how to hunt, fish, camp and survive in the wilderness and the rest of the world. Thank you, Daddy Tony, for all the love, life, and blessings. A viewing will be held on Friday, October 23rd, 2009 at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church located at 4020 Lomas Blvd at 6:00 pm, with a rosary immediately following at 7:00 pm.
