James L. Johnson House - Historic Santa Fe Foundation

IN MEMORY
This last year the HSFF lost two members of dedication and great
worth. It was considered only appropriate that such special friends be
recognized in this issue.

Randy Bell, Past HSFFChair
Julie Paltenghe Dougherty was born on December 27, 1925. On her
mother's side, Julie was a tenth generation New Mexican and on her
father's side, a third. She attended the Loretto Academy, ultimately graduating
from the Radford School in El Paso, Texas. She went on to receive
degrees from Vassar, Columbia University, and Manhattanville College.
Julie returned to New Mexico in 1982, where she established residence
with her husband, William Holmes Dougherty of Santa Fe. In addition
to her many other interests and activities, Julie traveled extensively in
the Himalayas of Nepal and Pakistan.
Julie was an active HSFF Board member from 1992 to 1996, and
chair of the Foundation's Board from 1995, and served throughout her
board membership as chair of the Education Committee. She will be
remembered by members for her dedication, interest in historic issues,
and service to the Foundation her grace, humor, and energy. Shortly
before her untimely death, she told me her involvement with the HSFF
was one of her most rewarding and cherished memories. She will be
greatly missed by her friends and family.
