Sam Mullins was born in 1961, the son of Ruby Music and Toby Mullins. He grew up in Packwood and Randall in southwest Washington. His father was a logging truck driver. We laughed about a caption I once saw on a photo in the newspaper of a logging truck that had spilled logs on the highway. "How much wood can a wood truck chuck?" it read. Even though his father was 15 years older than his mother, they died within two weeks of one another about 25 years ago. He was not surprise...

As attrition has slowly decimated the ranks of the Odessa-Harrington football squad, victories are getting harder to come by. Friday night’s game against Wilbura-Creston was a case in point.

It put an end to their undefeated league season and evened up their overall record at 4 wins and 4 losses. Steven Braun is the latest Titan to sustain a season-ending i...

A look back into the files of The Record shows that the campaign for the election of 1932, which would change the fate of America, didn’t cause much of a stir in Odessa.

The spotlight, of course was on the presidential race, which was Franklin D. Roosevelt versus Herbert Hoover. In a straw vote at Odessa High School, Hoover came out the winner, 79 to 68. The Rec...
