ElderCollege Weekend

October was a busy month for BSP faculty and Zenbat Gara dancers. Linda White and Jose Mallea helped organizer Gloria Castillo put on a Basque ElderCollege weekend program. White taught a class on the Basque language, and she took part in a panel about Basque women and oral history with Jean Ford on the afternoon of Saturday, the 19th of October. That evening the group met at Louis’ Basque Corner in Reno for dinner and watched the Zenbat Gara dancers perform. The dancers were led by Lisa Corcostegui, graduate student in the Basque Studies Tutorial Ph.D. Program.

On Sunday, Jose Mallea hosted the group at the Basque oven at Whiskey Creek Sheep Camp in the Tahoe National Forest, and provided them with living history lectures on the Basques in the American West.
