This is one of those sad and happy situations. Carol Ellis’ family has moved her to Lubbock. She was beginning to have some of those age issues so they moved her into the Raider Ranch Retirement Village. I will forever be grateful to Bill and Carol Ellis for hiring me here at the Friona Star back in 1995 then selling me the paper in 2003. Bill passed away a few years back, now Carol has moved. I know she will eventually enjoy her new retirement surroundings.
If any of her old friends around here want to send her a card or letter or maybe some candy and cookies, here is her address: Carol Ellis, 6548 43rd St. Apt 2119, Lubbock, TX 79407.
