Letters From Monahans News Readers Mention Local Honor and Thanks
A reader renewal note praises the paper and jokes about a Safari to gather quirky tidbits. The letter recalls the Desert Sands Garden Club presidency years, a 1967 to 1969 timeline, and Edith Grissom presenting donor names at a West Texas Children’s Home dedication. It also thanks the 1978 senior class sponsors and Monahans merchants who supported the all night party and gifts for graduates.
