Chama's First Mayor Celebrates 100th Birthday

Special to the SUN     Eddie Esteban Vigil Jr., Chama’s first mayor, on Dec. 26 turned 100. It’s been 52 years since he held that position.     He now lives in Albuquerque with his daughter Linda, and his wife of 73 years, Luz Gallegos-Vigil.     His son Ernest Vigil, the youngest among 10 children, stood outside the Chama Chevron on a recent December day, and said, “My dad was the luckiest man in the world.”     Ernest sat in his vintage Full Moon trailer office as he recounted his father’s start.     Eddie’s luck started when the head nun at the Tierra Amarilla School sent him home and told him not to come back, “without a parent.”

Village of Chama Bucks State Law, Renews Contract
