The first interview, at 3pm, was hosted by Jason Kolker, and the second interview, at 6pm, was hosted by Rachel Osier Lindley, and also features Louise O'Connor. Dr. Thompson died in January at age 92.  She was the author of the two-volume series: History of Marfa and Presidio County, Texas. The award-winning books covered the time period between 1535 and 1946.
