Through the hard work of local alums, the class was able to locate some classmates who moved away from Odessa prior to graduation and invite them to attend: Nancy (Richardson) Hoffman, who lost...
Same Old Street When alumni return to Harrington, one of the frequent topics of discussion is, "Do you remember," which invariably ends up with memories of the stores on Third Street. People say that as we age the older memories are more reliable than more recently processed information. Memories come into alignment with photos and historic records, but it is fun to try to remember what one saw in former days. Third Street in Harrington since the arrival of the railroad in...

Initially, council members seemed unsure how to respond. Ultimately, however, Mayor Bill Crossley said that he was aware of the issue and that no action had been taken because the council member in question had been working on the resolution of personal issues.
