 | | In a special evening, Buffalo Basques were joined by visiting friends to pay tribute to these nine folks who selflessly gave of their time and energy to keep their Basque community and language alive and vibrant in this corner of Wyoming. |
 | | The states governor Jim Geringer and the citys mayor Mels Lofgren issued proclamations, and then the following day a street in Buffalo was christened "Euskaldun kalea" or Basque street. |
 | | President Bob Echeverria represented NABO which also recognized the honorees with special commemorative plaques that are only occasionally presented; previously NABO recognized Pedro Juan Ethamendy [CA], Jim Jausoro [ID] and Bernardo Yanci [NV] for their contributions to Basque music. |
