A niece, Carol Meeking from Dallas, has been emailing my five siblings and me photos, letters, news clippings, sermons, etc., dating back more than a century from my late mother's keepsakes. Until I saw the pencil-scribbled letters on lined paper from my sixth-grade-educated dad to my ninth-grade-educated mom, I didn't appreciate Guy and Faye Sloan's great love affair. The 1940s letters also reveal my carpenter father's sly wit. Here are excerpts from when my dad had to work in distant cities to support some of their...
A brief look at other top stories: Clovis-Carver Public Library "Weekends with O'Keeffe" by C.S. Merrill and "Santa Fe Reflections" by Steve Larese were given by Oscar and Carolyn Toliver in memory of Wiley Snyder. At the age of eighty-five, Georgia O'Keeffe hired C.S. Merrill, then twenty-six, to organize her extensive library; a job that lasted for seven years as Merrill worked with the artist in her library and in her home as personal assistant, caretaker, cook, and secretary, all the while keeping a journal of their...

The memories formed with one's father, often shape the memories which one provides as a father (or grandfather, as the case may be). I have done things, and continue to do things, as a grandad, because they were done for me. For example, participating in activities that are not exactly my cup of tea. Such as playing Barbies, a skill in which I was totally deficient until a few years ago. Or, in the case of my grandson, learning my way around video games. I had never before played with Matchbox, Johnny Lightning and Hot... Full story

Many people whose father has passed on can tell wonderful stories of all the places their dad took the family on vacation. I would say our family only took one traditional vacation while I was growing up. That's not to say my father never took us anywhere. It's just that wherever that Terry-style vacation took us, it had to meet some pretty strict requirements for dad. Number one, it couldn't interfere with any irrigating, harvest or major job prospect. Since much of that time he was either farming or custom harvesting that...

On May 11, you printed a letter from state Sen. Mary Jane Garcia with her thought that horse slaughter leads to over breeding of horses. May we disagree completely with her? I am 66 years old and have been on the back of a horse for at least 62 of those years. No matter how special a horse is or how much you love them, there will come a time when they can no longer go on living. That is just the way life is. So, the question is, do we want them put down in a government inspected plant or is it better to put them out in the... Full story
We celebrate Father's Day with a few stories from readers: Patti Dobson, Portales: My dad is one of my heroes. He's faced some awful health issues. Through all of them, he maintained his grace, his dignity and his humor. He also taught me that you can give someone a black eye with Knox Blox ... (I got too close trying to sneak up on him. He nailed me. ... The ceiling in the house was punctuated by red and orange stains for years.) Edna Carby, Clovis: My dad never turned his back on anyone in need. He taught me to always give...
Probation ends in vicious cycle Wednesday's Clovis News Journal article on murder suspect Jimmy Reagan's criminal history paints an excellent example of our judicial system today: Plea bargain almost every case, and put the offender on probation. This is not working. One person is dead, and the cycle goes on and on. These offenders serve their time on probation, or break probation and just commit another crime. We as the general public are the ones facing attack from these repeat offenders almost daily, whether from bodily...
Good lineage is a plus in the world of rodeo and 17-year-old NaLynn Cline of Bernalillo has that. Her family tree for instance includes cousin Taos Muncy, world saddle bronc riding champ from the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) in 2011. A set of skills also comes in handy. Cline herself proved she has that by finishing second in barrel racing (called the "Reserve National Champion") at the National High School Rodeo Finals in 2010 and winning All-Around Rookie Co...
