Town Talk
Many of our readers have noticed that Ron has been missing from the day-to-day operations of the Friona Star. Ron was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago and has been going to many doctor appointments both here and in Amarillo. He was first diagnosed with a tumor in his left lung, which is inoperable. After a PET scan it was determined the cancer had not spread to other areas. He will endure another biopsy this week. I will try to keep you up-to-date on his condition. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
