WHEREAS: Georgia has been “the driver” for almost 35 years for Atomic City Tours, offering riders exclusive insights and entertaining stories about the history of Los Alamos; and
WHEREAS: Georgia’s enthusiasm to share with others the history, location and people of Los Alamos shines through in all that she does - she has cultivated a deep knowledge about the rich history of Northern New Mexico and been a valuable resource for history docents throughout the State; and
WHEREAS: We are so proud that Georgia was recognized and honored by the New Mexico Hospitality Association as “New Mexico Tourism Professional of the Year” in 2016 - it is a testimony to her passion and commitment; and

“GEORGIA STRICKFADEN DAY”
