It was another dominant season on the softball diamond for Archer County. Holliday gave the eventual state champs all they could handle, Windthorst went several rounds deep and Archer City continued its playoff streak. These kids deserve all the recognition they can get for all their hard work.

The Holliday ISD School Board reorganized its officers at the scheduled meeting on Monday, May 12. Blake Jurecek relinquished his presidency, passing the baton off to Christy Koski while Bubba Turner gave up his vice presidency to David Foster.

Ray Edward Berend was gifted to be born into the family of Lawrence and Helen Berend of Windthorst, on July 22, 1945. He was number three of six which most likely explained his penchant for negotiation. Windthorst was his home until he left to attend the University of Dallas later transferring to St Mary’s University where he earned his accounting degree, and subsequently went to work for Padgett & Padgett, later becoming its managing partner and owner of Padgett, Stratemann and Co.
