About narrator: A Durango native, Mrs. Brennan was the second woman in history to serve as a La Plata County Commissioner (from Jan. 1985 until 1992) and the first to be re-elected for a second term. Prior to that, she had been vice chair and then chair of the La Plata County Democratic Party in the 1960s. According to Sally Morrissey's biographical sketch in the 2/2/1997 Durango Herald, the County budget was automated during her tenure, the new airport terminal was built, the courthouse addition was finished and the county jail was constructed. She was born in Durango in 1920 to Edward and Zipporah McDaniel and was married to Micky Brennan in 1942. She and her husband operated the merchant-owned Credit Bureau of Durango for 40 years until 1985 when they sold it. They also published and distributed a weekly bulletin service to businesses that was a compilation of legal activities recorded at the County Courthouse--a service she has continued after Micky's death in 1994.

Earliest year: 1873 Latest year: 1969
About interviewer: Director of the Center of Southwest Studies at that time.
Notes on interview: Undated. Master tape is one reel to reel tape of a KREZ television program entitled Assignment 6. Series co-hosts were Robert Delaney and former state Representative and long-time resident of the San Juan Basin, Arthur Wyatt. Poor recording but audible (?). When Catherine Conrad attempted to listen to the audiocassette to transcribe the interview comments on 1/31/96, she determined that the recording was too poor to be transcribed. We might want to listen to the reel tape and attempt making a better audiocassette recording from it. Release signed by Dr. Delaney and the Center of Southwest Studies 1/98.
