Bridging two worlds

Sandia National Laboratories security officer Thelma Holman bridges two worlds. In her work, she helps protect one of the nation's premier research facilities. Away from work, she is a potter from Jemez Pueblo in New Mexico. Thelma and her mother Juanita Yepa, a Sandia retiree, carry on the traditions of Jemez potters that go back hundreds of years, back to the time long before the Europeans arrived.
