What is a Living Treasure?
Living Treasures was created to celebrate the enormous role that so many of our senior citizens have played in the history of Los Alamos. Through their voluntary efforts they have come to serve as models and mentors providing inspiration with their involvement, commitment, perserverance, hope, heart and wisdom. They are the folk heroes who live among us. The formation of Living Treasures of Los Alamos was spearheaded by Rosalie Heller in 1999. To see a tribute to Rosalie, please go to the Tribute page later in this website.
