Former Bovina resident Carolyn Rains called this past week to notify us that we had mistakenly told our readers to move their clocks ahead for the time change. She reminded us of the old saying “fall back and spring forward.” Carolyn lives near family in Saginaw which is a suburb of Fort Worth. She said she misses Bovina and Parmer County. Carolyn and her husband operated Parmer County Spraying for many years. Thanks for the call Carolyn, and for reading the Friona Star.
