Big Bend Medical Meet Noted At Indian Lodge Dinner
The Big Bend Counties Medical Society held a March 6 dinner at Indian Lodge with Dr. W. Lockhart introducing Dr. Jack Pastelwaite of El Paso who spoke on Laboratory Tests and Fluid Balance. The Women's Auxiliary met concurrently. Alpine figures attended, and a Granada Theater screening of Good Morning, Miss Dove sparked educational reflections on child development and ethics. A March 7 note recalls the demolition of a 25 year landmark softball backstop at Alpine High School, its history, and its ties to local school life. The piece also highlights Alpine Central School’s new Central Standard Times newspaper, student editors, and a call for Texas high school scholarships for top grads from the Pharmaceutical Foundation of UT.
