Enchanting People of New Mexico - Ed Mechem, Mr. New Mexico
Mar 17, 2024
Michael Swickard, Ph.D.

I want to tell you about Edwin Mechem who lived a full active life of service in New Mexico. He was born in Alamogordo on July 2, 1912, six months after New Mexico statehood. He died ninety years later after an extraordinary life. He was the first New Mexico Governor to have been born in the state of New Mexico, not territory. I have talked about many Extraordinary New Mexico People, but I believe Ed Mechem’s life in New Mexico to be one of the most productive for New Mexico. To me, he was Mr. New Mexico.
