Eskarrikasko In September, Mrs. Li Moses of San Francisco visited the Basque Studies Program accompanied by her son Stefan Moses and daughter-in-law Joyce Ball and granddaughter Stephanie Ball. Mrs. Moses became aware of the Program’s activities through the article “The Basque Who Won the West” which appeared recently in Modern Maturity magazine. The purpose of her visit was to donate to the Program a wooden crucifix of Basque origin that was hand-carved in the sixteenth century. This lovely work of art is now on permanent display and may be viewed by visiting the Basque collection in the University library of the University of Nevada Reno.
