I've enjoyed the interviews I conducted recently with former Eastern New Mexico University students. Each one of them was memorable and I truly enjoy the connection I made with these individuals when telling their stories. Jim Slone is a Causey native who made big bucks by selling five radio stations in Tuscon, Ariz., at the end of a successful radio career.

I'm a fan of an NFL team that went 2-1 during the first three games of the season, under which replacement referees had a subpar performance filling in for locked-out officials. I'm one of the lucky fans, because my 49ers won two games and lost one game convincingly; replacement refs couldn't be the tipping point. For other fans (it rhymes with "Clean Day Sackers"), not so much. The image of a botched call with no time left that cost the Sackers a win will be the easiest thing to remember about the lockout that was settled...
