Ruben Salaz is my dad. I informed him of the spelling error shown above but nothing has been done about it. It occurs in the sentence "Salaz makes his home in Alburquerque, NM."
Please correct the spelling error as anyone from NM who reads this is going to laugh at your maintenance.
Thanks
Truly

Hello Chris,
Alburquerque is spelled correctly. The first r was dropped by the US postal service after the US came to occupy New Mexico. The city of Alburquereque was named after the Duke of the same name. I will contact your dad to make sure he's ok with the spelling. I will surely change it if he isn't. I would be happy to hear of anything else you find. Thanks Rozanne
