Roswell Community Kitchen History and Current Leadership
Brad Ussery, manager, describes the Roswell Community Kitchen as a long standing community effort. He recalls it began in 1982 by Jeanne Kunko and Raye Duran, and notes he joined about six years ago after returning from Albuquerque.

He cites his near 60 years and hopes Cliff Pirtle or another local Republican steps up. State Sen.
