Arvie went to work for D.L. Handley, driving trucks and setting irrigation pumps. He married his wife, Gene, in 1962 and the couple still reside in Lockney. Arvie says he plans on attending a special Veterans Day ceremony being planned by the Lockney High School on Thursday. It is his hope that people will not be allowed to forget the price that was paid for the life they now lead. Another world war like that would be our last.
People have to remember.
FHS Payne and LaFuente Going to State in Cross Country Both Jenna Payne and Jeremy LaFuente came from behind in the Regional Cross Country Meet in Lubbock last Saturday, November 4, to qualify for the State Cross County Meet in Round Rock Saturday, November 11, at 1 p.m. The regional meet was held at Mae Simmons Park and the track conditions were very muddy. It was drizzling rain, but the temperature was mild and the meet was well attended. In the girls race with about 120 runners, Jenna ran about 50 yards behind the leader, Allison Atcheley, from Panhandle, the entire race. In the last 300 yards, she began to make up the difference at the finish line and both girls leaned into the wire.
