Welcome to the Cibola web site!
For a number of years in
the 1950s and 1960s, Sandy and Eleanor Orr ran Cibola, a summer camp in
New Mexico, which was attended by high school students from Washington
D.C. and other cities. Many Cibola campers from Washington were
also students at The Hawthorne School, a small progressive high school
founded by the Orrs in 1956.
This web site is an offshoot of the Hawthorne School web site, and at
the moment the two are still somewhat entangled with each other, so please be
patient. Dana Sawyer (Hawthorne 1965) created and has maintained both sites for all these years.
If you are an alumna or alumnus of Cibola and you are not already in Steve Knapp's contact database, please send an email to him at the address below. Steve is trying to maintain an up to date database of contact information.

- Grayson Mattingly 1941-2011: Grayson died on Thursday, November 10. For many years he had been fighting lymphoma, a form of blood cancer. We have this obituary from his wife of more than 30 years, Suzanne.
