1978: In Bill Southard’s “Memo from the Editor,” which appeared each day in the Clovis News-Journal, he offered congratulations to Marshall Stinnett of Portales, who had officially become publisher of the Portales News-Tribune, succeeding his father, Marion Stinnett, long-time business manager for the paper.
“The younger Stinnett has headed the newspaper’s advertising sales department for nearly 20 years,” Southard wrote, adding, “Gordon Greaves, an uncle of the new publisher, will continue as editor.”
1973: Members of the Noon-Day Kiwanis Club of Clovis had sold more than 3,600 tickets in advance of their upcoming Pancake Day scheduled for the coming weekend at Clovis High School.
Al Jolly, president of the club, and Max Lowry, program chair, were seen counting pre-sold tickets.
The event was slated to run from 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. with “continuous entertainment throughout the day.”
