Barbara Ann Weirich

January 22, 1934 – January 10, 2018

Barbara Ann Weirich, 83, passed away Wednesday, January 10, in the year of our Lord, 2018, with her family by her side in Pueblo, Colorado. 

Barbara was born January 22, 1934 in Las Animas, Colorado, the only daughter of John and Hazel (Barnhart) Shriver and sister to seven brothers. She attended school and graduated from Las Animas High School in 1953.

In case you missed it on Saturday the County Line Rivals left it all on the mat and came through with the 1^st Place team plaque.  The scored 147.5 points to Lamar JV’s 121, Duma JV’s 117.5, and Peyton’s 105, La Junta JV’s 62, Limon’s 38, Baca County’s 25, Yuma’s 16, and Crowley County’s 8. 

The Rivals had 12 wrestlers entered for the day but 2 were wrestling in the same weight bracket so that meant only 11 would be scoring points.

40 Years Ago

A new year. A new start. Who said I can’t finish this book?

Dud Campbell walked the frozen sidewalk and blew steamy breath out through his parka hood.

All I need, really, are a few ideas.

Dud’s been working on his novel, “Murder in the Soggy Bottoms,” for several years now, and it has taken on different blends of seasoning, largely depending on what things were happening here in our little valley.
