As an Air Force kid, Kelly Koepke lived in eight states and a foreign country before coming to Santa Fe for the Great Books program at St. John’s College. She left after graduating, but felt the irresistible pull of the light, culture, and green chile. “I returned with my Midwest-born-and-bred husband and hung out a freelance shingle.
