REMEMBERING THE JIM HALL YEARS: A Conversation with Ghost Ranch Family and Friends, Moderated by Lesley Poling-Kempes

Panelists include Chad Boliek, Jon Hall, Kathy Morrison, Rebecca Martinez, Cheryl Muceus, Lynett Gillette, Terry Evans, Sam Evans, Carolyn Barford and Willie Picaro.

Jim Hall became the director of Ghost Ranch in 1961 and with his wife Ruth spent the next 25 years building the community and developing the place and the programs that made the ranch into a world class conference center. When asked what theology the Presbyterian-owned Ghost Ranch taught and embraced Hall famously answered, “Theology? Theology is what you do.”

The Jim Hall Years will be remembered in stories and photographs by people who participated in this remarkable trailblazing era of Ghost Ranch history and will be moderated by Lesley Poling-Kempes, author of “Ghost Ranch” and “Ladies of the Canyons.”
