1976: Marion Fullerton, chairman of the Portales Committee on Employment of the Handicapped, was preparing to chair a regional meeting for handicapped persons in Curry, De Baca, Guadalupe, Quay, Roosevelt and Union counties.
Information from the meeting, scheduled Oct. 1, would be presented at the 1977 White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals in Washington.
The mission of the White House Conference was to make recommendations for legislation that would enable handicapped persons to live independently with dignity and with full participation in community life.
