Welcome to the New Mexico Euskal Etxea Member Portrait of Sherry Morrison.

Sherry Morrison is one of the charter members of NMEE. In fact, the first official meeting, in which the first provisional board was elected, was held at Sherry's house. Sherry has proved an invaluable resource to the club, always willing to help out in any way possible.

Sherry is a Club Charter Member, who served as a Director for the past two years and has participated in numerous club activities. With Sherry's support, knowledge and time our club has had many successful events. What Sherry has enjoyed the most about the club are the club members. She looks forward to the club expanding and becoming even more active in the community.

Sherry's Basque lineage begins with her great-great-grandfather, who left his Basque homeland near San Sebastian to settle in Mexico. Sherry's grandfather Henrique R. Quintero was born and raised on a hacienda named Casa Blanca. Henrique M. Quintero, Sherry's father, was born in Mexico City, then educated and married in Chicago. Her parents lived in Monterrey, where Sherry was born; later, the family moved to Mexico City and eventually came to the American West. In Denver, Sherry graduated from Colorado State University and married her husband Paul. Sherry's career was in the Stock and Bond industry, where she worked in many different Western states.

In 2002 Paul and Sherry settled in Santa Fe for the retirement life. Currently, Sherry is taking a class named 1001 Years of the Spanish Language. Her son Michael is pursing his Ph.D. in Economics from UNM.

The club sincerely appreciates Sherry for all her hard work and dedication. We are extremely proud to recognize Sherry in this edition's Portrait and look forward to Sherry's continuing participation in the club.
