Fleeting Moments From The Wellington Leader Files
A 1982 compilation from The Wellington Leader highlights a 1952 USS Franklin D. Roosevelt Main Brace observer account, jail escape pursuit by Sheriff Mauldin and Deputy Barnett, a Quail Future Farmer earning the American Farmer Degree, and September 1962 fire drills with injuries. It also notes Cord Fitz’s art class plans, bus vandalism damages, and local Lions Club terrapin race results.
